Since every year there are around 320 million dollars-worth of partitioning walls being thrown away, JUUNOO takes the sustainable approach and developed a fully circular option that is easy on the planet and can bring money back to those who purchased them initially.

According to Tech.eu, the startup recently secured a 6.6 million euro in Series A funding, which saw participation from Saint-Gobain Gyproc, Finindus and Vlaio, among others.

With the fresh funding, the Belgium company plans to be active in six countries by 2024, further expanding in the Netherlands, Denmark and the US.

The startup was founded back in 2017 with the aim to give constructors an economic and ecological advantage through its 100% circular partitions.

When they are no longer needed, they can be sold back to the company, which then sells them again to others in need of such a solution.

Companies can benefit from this due to the fact that the installation process for the productivity boxes is fairly effortless, which means that less time is spent on outfitting the offices.

Chris Van de Voorde, founder of JUUNOO, said that "Belgium remains our home, but we are deliberately looking to broaden our horizons to other countries and markets in order to have an even greater impact on the environment."

Beside the expansion to new markets, the funding will be used to create JUUNOO Voltage, a digital assistant that will enable architects, property developers and facility managers to visualize the placement of the movable walls.
