Our story

Why we started Circularise

Circularise began in 2016 at Delft University of Technology, with a simple conviction: global supply chains cannot become more efficient, resilient, or circular without better traceability. What started as a graduation project focused on raw material transparency and geopolitical risk became a company built to solve one of industry's hardest problems; making supply chain data visible, usable, and provable.

We built Circularise to help companies trace materials across complex value chains, connect the right data to the right products, and share information with confidence. Because better decisions, better claims, and better outcomes all depend on knowing what is in a product, where it came from, and how it got there.
