PRODUCT
We take the responsibility for developing a Circular Economy into our own hands. We demand change by orchestrating cutting edge academic research with savvy business models and a deep-routed desire for positive impact.
MISSION
Developed at the Delft University of Technology and Amsterdam Institute of Advanced Metropolitan Solutions, geoFluxus is a unique platform that maps, analyses and predicts where, how and which materials can be saved from becoming waste. Our mission is to get rid of the concept of waste all together.
Currently we are working with:
MISSION - Governments
Governments need to meet sustainability targets, as set out in the European Green Deal, European Circular Economy Action Plan, Paris Agreement.
Although they mostly focus their efforts on consumer waste, our analyses show that industrial waste is responsible for the lion’s share of lost resources and environmental impacts.
Distribution of household and industrial waste in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area in 2019, see the Amsterdam Circular Monitor for more information
MISSION - Companies
Some companies are looking for cheaper, locally available materials. Others dispose perfectly reusable materials into landfills and incinerators.

1. DATA INVENTORY
We identify the potential data sources in your organization. For the governments we mostly use industrial waste reports. For the companies we can use invoices and billing data.
2. DATA ANALYSIS
We use advanced geospatial modeling and natural language processing algorithms to add contextual information, interpret and classify your waste.
3. DATA VISUALISATION
We provide you with an online dashboard which allows to discover how and why the value of the materials gets lost.
4. IMPACT ASSESSMENT
We provide environmental, social and financial impact assessment related with your waste.

ABOUT US
geoFluxus aims to make a positive, sustainable and actionable global impact by developing innovative and integrative open-source resource management tools. Our goal is to become a one-stop-shop for the management of (waste) materials, stakeholders, and decision-making through data-driven technologies.
We want to democratize public waste flow data, hit/check sustainability targets, create new business opportunities and accelerate the transition towards the circular economy with the largest possible environmental, social, and financial benefits.
We are a spin-off company from the Delft University of Technology (TUDelft) and the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute). Our platform is based and supported out of 2 large European Horizon 2020 research projects (REPAiR and CINDERELA).
geoFluxus has been part of the Arcadis City of 2030 Accelerator, powered by Techstars - view our demo day here. We were a national finalist of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Climate-KIC Launchpad 2019 program.
