Wuppertal, November 2024
Triangular at Circular Valley and its Circular Economy Accelarator Program.
This transformative experience brought us together with visionary startups, experts, and industry leaders dedicated to advancing the principles of the circular economy.
The Challenge in the Processing Industry
In today’s fast-paced industrial world, materials are the cornerstone of progress. But their lifecycles are getting shorter, and the demand for faster time-to-market has never been greater.
For R&D teams, the challenge is clear: how can they test and scale their innovations without investing in costly infrastructure? Meanwhile, toll processing plants often grapple with idle capacity, and industry experts are eager to contribute but lack a streamlined way to connect with the right projects.
This inefficiency not only slows down innovation but also wastes valuable resources, materials, and time—an issue that’s critical to address in the context of a circular economy.
Our Solution: Process On Demand
Triangular’s platform was born from the idea of creating a more efficient, sustainable production ecosystem. At its core, Process On Demand is a capacity-sharing platform that connects innovators, manufacturers, and experts. Think of it as the Airbnb for the processing industry:
- Innovators (Gina) can post their processing needs.
- Manufacturers (Hans) can list their available capacity and equipment.
- Experts (Robert) can provide technical support to ensure projects succeed.
By enabling these connections, we’re not just solving operational challenges—we’re actively reducing waste, optimizing resources, and promoting collaboration.
Why Circular Economy Matters
The Circular Valley Accelerator helped us highlight and refine how our work directly supports the principles of the circular economy. With Process On Demand, unused capacity in processing plants finds purpose, cutting down idle resources.
Innovators avoid the financial and material costs of building their own facilities, and experts help extend the lifecycle of existing resources by ensuring their effective use.
This approach aligns perfectly with the circular economy’s vision of minimizing waste, maximizing resource efficiency, and creating systems where materials flow sustainably and purposefully.
Our Demo Day Story
During the Circular Valley demo day in the historical City Hall of Wuppertal on November 15, our both founders Pablo and Sylwia Marroquin had the privilege of presenting our vision and solution.
Sharing the stories of Gina, Hans, and Robert made our mission tangible to the audience, illustrating how Triangular turns disconnected needs and resources into collaborative opportunities.
We also showcased our business model: while the platform is currently free, we are working on a monetization model to sustain its growth. Additionally, we offer tailored agency services for complex projects, ensuring seamless customization for our clients.
The response was overwhelming. Many saw how our platform not only fosters innovation but also embodies the principles of the circular economy, providing a much-needed service in the processing industry.
What’s Next for Triangular?
As alumni of the Circular Valley Accelerator Program, we’re more motivated than ever to scale our impact. Our goal is to become the go-to platform for capacity sharing in the processing industry, driving innovation while upholding sustainability.
With Process On Demand, we help you find production partners, clients, or projects faster and more efficiently—saving resources, time, and frustration.
Being part of the Circular Valley Accelerator reaffirmed our belief that innovation and sustainability go hand in hand.
At Triangular, we’re committed to transforming the processing industry, one connection at a time, while contributing to a more circular and sustainable future.
