What restado does

restado is a Stuttgart-based B2B marketplace, founded in 2017, that operates Europas führender B2B Marktplatz for trading surplus and reclaimed construction materials between commercial buyers and sellers. The platform lists over 1 million materials across ten main categories, including doors and frames, windows, tiles and stones, roofing, building technology and sanitary, structural work, facades, interior finishing, garden and outdoor areas, and tools and machines; specialty lines include reclaimed bricks and clinker (over 20 million variants sold, positioning restado as Germany's largest reclaimed brick provider), old wood boards and beams, roof tiles from major manufacturers, and recycled concrete (RC-Beton). Both supply sides (construction companies, demolition firms, craftspeople, traders) and demand sides (construction firms, tradespeople, building professionals) are restricted to commercial participants, with private buyers excluded. The marketplace operates online at restado.de, with nationwide delivery across Germany and expansion into Austria and Switzerland, and integrates payment rails including PayPal, Klarna Sofortüberweisung, Giropay, and credit card, alongside a Google Maps-based location search.

Underlying the platform is a conventional web-based marketplace architecture with category, region, and material filters, and a self-serve listing flow that the company reports can be completed in approximately two minutes. The technology stack does not appear to include proprietary AI/ML components; the moat is built on catalog depth, regional liquidity, and circular-construction positioning rather than algorithmic differentiation. The platform is integrated with Concular for digital material passports and circular construction intermediation, and cooperates with local Bauteilbörsen such as Bauteilbörse Berlin-Brandenburg and Bauteilbörse Hannover for regional network expansion.

restado monetizes via a marketplace commission / transaction fee model: sellers list for free and pay a fee upon successful sale, with item prices ranging from under €1 to over €90,000 depending on category and quantity. Distribution is self-serve across web and social channels (blog content, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, SEO, newsletter), with partnerships with local building material exchanges acting as mid-funnel referral channels. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Dominik Campanella and co-founder Julius Schaufele (Business Developer and Circular Designer), operates with 1-10 employees, and has not disclosed any funding rounds, revenue figures, or ownership structure. Recognition includes being named a Top 20 Construction Tech Startup in Procurement and reaching the final of the Green Alley Award.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Salvo: UK-based web directory and marketplace for reclaimed and architectural salvage building materials. Comparable niche focus on reclaimed construction materials for trade buyers, though with a more listings-style rather than transactional marketplace.
• Rheaply: US-based B2B asset management and exchange platform enabling institutions to redeploy surplus materials and equipment. Comparable two-sided marketplace model for underutilized building-related assets, though broader than construction materials specifically.
• Cycle Up (Bouygues Construction): Circular construction marketplace launched by Bouygues Construction in France, enabling reuse of building materials across the value chain. Directly comparable platform model and ESG-driven positioning, though backed by a major construction group.
• Backacia: French B2B marketplace for buying and selling reused construction materials from demolition and renovation projects. Closely comparable business model, customer base, and circular-economy positioning, operating in France rather than DACH.
• Concular: German circular construction platform focused on digital material passports, selective deconstruction, and material brokering. Directly comparable to restado as it operates in the same circular construction marketplace category and is already a strategic partner.

Emerging players

• Rehub (Reuse Marketplace Hub): Emerging European initiative aggregating circular construction reuse platforms and material passports across multiple countries. Comparable in mission and partially overlapping in marketplace functionality, though more of an aggregator than a direct competitor.
• Materrup: French producer of low-carbon cement made from construction demolition waste. Adjacent in the circular construction materials space, addressing the demolition material recovery problem from the manufacturing side rather than via a marketplace.

Regional players

• ResaleBazar: European B2B platform for buying and selling reusable construction and demolition materials. Comparable marketplace model focused on surplus construction materials, though operating in a different geographic footprint.
• Kreislaufwirtschaft Bau: German industry initiative promoting closed-loop material cycles in the construction sector. Operates in the same regulatory and thematic space as restado and influences the supply and demand for circular construction materials in Germany.

Broad incumbents

• B-Stock Solutions: Large B2B liquidation marketplace operating across multiple verticals. Comparable marketplace-commission model for surplus and overstock goods, though construction materials are not its core category and its scale provides significant competitive leverage.
