Matrec

Matrec is a consultancy and research company based in Ancona, Italy, specialised in the sustainability and circularity of materials and products, and in the metrics used to measure the circular economy. Its work is built on Matrec Lab, an international research laboratory started in 2002 and continuously fed with thousands of circular materials and products, which gives a broad view of material solutions and sustainability trends.

The consultancy helps companies apply circular models, with twenty years of national and international projects: research into circular materials for product development, trend mapping, measurement of circularity, benchmark analysis, training and communication. Projects follow the five pillars of the circular economy, from mapping the materials of a kitchen to laminates made with circular materials.
