Making The Most Out Of What We Manufacture.
- Mattereum is working to replace the “take, make, waste” cycle with a circular economy.
- When we buy things, we don’t generally expect to sell them again. This is where it all went wrong: consumers use things until they break and become pollution, with minimal recapture of their embodied carbon.
- But if we buy things and intend to resell them, we will buy goods that we expect to hold value for a long time. These goods will be resold by all of their future owners, until they are genuinely used up. Our financial, legal and technological innovations enable each seller to perfectly document their goods and each buyer to be fully protected.
- This simple harmony preserves the value of the goods for all future buyers, and shifts the incentives of the global economy towards full sustainability. Useful things will be priced by their value not their age.
- The circular economy preserves the world’s innovation at its heart. Older goods are used and resold over and over again, spreading the benefits of the global economy without creating new environmental damage.
- We need to ensure that everything that humanity manufactures can be efficiently reused, recycled and re-loved. Reducing emissions requires a change in global consumption.
The Circular Economy: Finance Meets Data to Create an Abundant Regenerative Future
Imagine that all manufactured goods have digital twins on the blockchain. As the assets change hands and experience wear and tear every repair is logged. Soon we can see what is repairable and resellable, what can be patched and mended, and what is just dead-loss scrap which will be reduced to its components and upcycled into new manufactured goods.
If every single thing we buy has a unique ID and a permanent place to store its records, the entire structure of the manufacturing economy will change. Mattereum, the world’s leader in creating the blockchain circular economy, will showcase its Ethereum-based circular economy platform. We will also discuss exciting breakthroughs in Net Zero blockchain technology.
Mattereum CEO Vinay Gupta is proudly hosting global pioneers of the circular economy McDonough Innovation to lead on this event which will open with a presentation by Matt Kistler, President of McDonough Innovation and Managing Director of MBDC.
Joining for the panel will be Stan Stalnaker, Founding Director of Hub Culture presenting their Ven Oxygen vision and Greg Smithies, Partner at Fifth Wall leading on the Climate technology Investment team, a VC firm.
There was an in-depth discussion of different models of the circular economy: scope one, scope two, and scope three models of circularity. Also discussed was the role of digital systems like the blockchain in tracing both finished manufactured goods and their component materials through many cycles of use and reuse.

Diplomacy, Politics and Technology: The Three Futures of Climate Action
How to address climate change: international diplomacy, national politics and technological change.
International diplomacy & treaty negotiations, national political transformation, and rapid technological change are three models of how to address climate change. Proponents of each model will discuss how these approaches must work together to achieve dramatically better results than any one approach can achieve. Hosted by Mattereum and Diplomatic World.
The introduction by Mattereum CEO Vinay Gupta presented Mattereum’s leading edge vision for a blockchain-based Net Zero circular economy which proves the goods and services being sold are truly carbon neutral. His book, The Future of Stuff, outlines the human rights case for a highly transparent economy, and Mattereum implements this vision.

Green Blockchain, Green Economy
How Blockchain could save, not destroy, the planet. A discussion on why new Blockchain systems, such as Avalanche, are so much greener than Bitcoin.
The blockchain (distributed ledger technology) is one of the most controversial technologies of the decade. Bitcoin has the environmental footprint of small countries, and is widely considered to be an ecological disaster. Can new blockchain systems offer a better way forward?
We will discuss why these systems are so much greener than bitcoin (with emissions close to those of current cloud systems). With green blockchain technologies in hand, we can build an economy which tracks and pays for all carbon emissions, paving the way for CO2 taxes that will actually work.
