The result of a combination of an entrepreneurial start-up and a team with expertise in the circular economy, a number of project ideas have emerged.

Atome's circular economy potential identification stage gave rise to the idea of testing a modular "life base"-type housing concept that could be adapted to meet a wide range of uses: humanitarian emergencies, temporary housing, residential accommodation, etc.

The support provided by La Fabrique Circulaire ranges from meeting potential customers, partners and funders to test the idea in the field, to co-defining technical and functional specifications and networking. The aim is to develop modules on a local and circular basis.

Following this exploratory work, Atome will be in a position to roll out the concept. In addition, a pilot project is ready to be launched in Plan-les-Ouates, thanks to collaboration between Atome and locally active foundations.
