Backacia fight against construction waste with reused materials

Large construction sites are incredibly wasteful. Materials get tossed all the time if there’s a change of plan or if you ordered too much stuff.

      Your question is very interesting ! In France we do not use craiglist. We are working with companies, some of them are big international companies, and they are looking for a professional saas to manage reuse building materials. And 40% is because we provide a lot of services to sellers, that sadly we had no time to explain in the video 🙂

    Definitely solves a market pain, plus creates long term economic value because companies can earn money when they sell materials, plus they can buy materials cheaper. It also solves a sustainability issue.

    If you are doing construction right there should not be waste. It’s a pretty precise process, engineers have this figured out before the project starts.

      Because there’s always a slightly gap between what was calculated and what’s happening on the field. Plus, the end-customer may had a change of mind which may implies less material use or new ones.

Social entrepreneur Van Jones believes a new human civilization is being born in real time — and that our technology is racing ahead of our wisdom. In this urgent and hopeful talk, he reframes the AI debate, showing why the real danger isn’t the technology itself but rather the communities it leaves behind. His solution? A new deal between big tech and humanity, built on a different kind of “AI” that we desperately need. (Recorded at TED2026 on April 17, 2026)
