What is material passport software?
It records a digital inventory of every material used on a project — manufacturer,
recycled content, how it's fixed in place, and its planned end-of-life route — so the
building's circularity claims can be checked against what was actually installed, not
just what was specified at design stage.
Does this help with a Circular Economy Statement?
Yes. Major developments referable under the London Plan (Policy SI 7) require a
Circular Economy Statement demonstrating recycled content, design for disassembly and
a material reuse strategy. Material passport data is the practical evidence behind
those claims.
How is the Circularity Score calculated?
VerdCore's Circularity Score is driven by the recycled content, disassembly method and
planned end-of-life route recorded against each material, giving a project-level view
of circularity performance rather than a single material-by-material list nobody
aggregates.
Does material passport data feed my carbon reporting?
Yes. Recycled content and end-of-life route directly affect a material's embodied
carbon figure and the Module C/D figures in a Whole-Life Carbon Assessment, so
VerdCore's material data feeds the same reporting rather than sitting in a separate
circularity spreadsheet.
Can I track potential carbon savings if the reuse plan is followed?
Yes. VerdCore calculates the potential carbon savings if a material's planned
end-of-life route (reuse or recycling, rather than disposal) is actually achieved,
alongside the End-of-Life breakdown across your material inventory.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. VerdCore is free to start, with a 14-day Pro trial and no card required. Paid
plans start from £19/month for firms that need more projects, reports and team seats.
