What Circuland does

Circuland Ltd is a London-based private SaaS company that provides an AI-powered platform for Digital Product Passports (DPPs), Building Passports, Battery Passports, and AI-classified compliance document management targeting the built environment and other ESPR-regulated product categories. The platform centralises fragmented supplier, carbon, compliance, and lifecycle data from PIM, PLM, BIM, and document systems into structured, QR/NFC-linked passport records aligned to EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542, the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), EN 15804, and the UK Building Safety Act 2022. Core technical components include native connectors for Akeneo and Pimcore (PIM), Autodesk Revit (BIM), and Microsoft Office 365 and SharePoint; a RESTful API; automated carbon footprint calculation across lifecycle stages A1-A3, A4, B1-B5, C1-C4, and D; and an AI Assistant for natural-language compliance querying. The company also offers Audit Buddy & Urban Mine for circularity audits of existing buildings and supports all 24 EU official languages plus Japanese and Chinese for the Battery Passport module.

The business model is subscription-based SaaS with Basic Seat (view-only) and Full Seat (floating edit/admin) licence tiers on multi-year contracts, supplemented by a discretionary Free Plan. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, evidenced by "Request a demo" and "Speak to an Expert" CTAs, tailored Battery Passport Readiness Reviews, and flagship project partnerships with named enterprise customers including JLL, Legal & General, Mace, Overbury, Waterman, Endurance Land, Lo London, McGee, Natural Building Systems, and the City of Westminster. Primary customer segments are construction (lead vertical) and battery manufacturers, with secondary verticals in tyres, furniture, and fashion.

Circuland was founded in 2022, operates with 1–10 employees from a registered office at 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, and closed a €750,000 pre-seed round in October 2024 led by Apeiron Ventures with participation from Astylab Ventures.

Direct peers

• Madaster: Dutch platform for building and material passports that catalogues materials in buildings to enable circular construction. Directly comparable to Circuland's Building Passports module — same target customers (developers, contractors, asset owners), same regulatory thesis (circular economy / material traceability), same SaaS delivery model.
• BATCONNECT: Battery passport SaaS focused on EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 compliance for battery manufacturers and OEMs. Directly comparable to Circuland's Battery Passport Platform — same hard regulatory deadline, same customer profile, same data-structuring problem.
• Maptera: Building material passport platform for the construction sector, providing digital records of materials for circularity. Direct competitor to Circuland's Building Passports in the same construction vertical with overlapping developer and contractor customers.

Emerging players

• Cylib: German battery recycling company building a digital platform for material recovery and battery data. Comparable to Circuland's Battery Passport and Audit Buddy modules from the recycling/end-of-life side of the same data architecture, overlapping on circular economy data capture.
• One Click LCA: Construction-focused lifecycle assessment software used by architects, engineers, and developers to calculate embodied carbon. Comparable to Circuland's Carbon Analytics module — same customers, same embodied carbon / ESPR regulatory pressure, though One Click LCA is LCA-first rather than passport-first.
• Circularise: Supply chain traceability and digital product passport platform using blockchain-anchored records for materials in plastics, textiles, and batteries. Comparable to Circuland's DPP and Battery Passport offerings from a data provenance and circular materials angle, though with a different technical stack.
• Ecochain: Lifecycle assessment and environmental impact software for products and buildings. Adjacent peer to Circuland's Carbon Analytics, serving overlapping sustainability and compliance buyers in construction and manufacturing.

Broad incumbents

• Sphera: Enterprise software for product stewardship, LCA, and regulatory compliance across multiple industries. Comparable to Circuland's regulatory compliance and carbon analytics capabilities but as part of a much broader portfolio sold to large enterprises — represents both competition and a potential acquirer/partner.
• Autodesk: Owner of Revit (BIM) and the Tandem/Forma building lifecycle platforms, both of which Circuland integrates with. Comparable as a broad incumbent that could natively extend into Digital Product and Building Passports given its existing footprint among architects, engineers, and developers.
• Bentley Systems (iTwin): Infrastructure engineering software whose iTwin platform creates digital twins of physical assets including buildings. Comparable to Circuland's Building Passports from a built-environment digital record angle, with the resources and installed base to expand into DPP workflows.
