Amsterdam's Circl pavilion was logged as a digital material passport, recording every material for future reuse under the name ‘LLMNT’. Eight Amsterdam-region municipalities got their own building passports in 2019, and ongoing circular-building pilots in Buiksloterham, Strandeiland and Overhoeks aim to keep demolition materials in local use.

The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-55f508e9dc2f3bab descriptive
Amsterdam's Circl pavilion
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The project page is titled 'Circl, Amsterdam' and describes it as a pavilion: 'The ‘Circl’ pavilion is unique in the Netherlands: the first constructed practical example of sustainable and circular designs.' Client is named as ABN AMRO.
Caveat
The page confirms the pavilion and the city, but never gives its address or district; it does not place Circl at Zuidas.

Claim 2 clm-96f4f4e11db5da4c descriptive
digital material passport
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Dutch Architects records that Circl's materials 'have been recorded in a ‘digital twin’; the building passport is named LLMNT.' I amsterdam defines the instrument: 'Digital material passports are databases that record detailed information about materials, enabling future reuse, reducing waste, and supporting a circular construction economy.'
Caveat
Neither source calls the Circl passport a Madaster passport, and neither says it was Madaster's first — I amsterdam lists Madaster's Amsterdam-area projects as Schiphol Trade Park and Juf Nienke, not Circl.

Claim 3 clm-348433b6a7d9cee1 descriptive
recording every material for future reuse
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
'All materials, components and parts that make up the building have been recorded in a ‘digital twin’', and reuse is stated as the purpose from the outset: 'The reuse of the applied materials was factored into the process right from the start.'
Caveat
The entry no longer claims the location (Zuidas), the superlative ('Madaster's first') or the year 2017: none of the three listed sources carries them.

Claim 5 clm-11bcaacda6f70721 quantitative
Eight Amsterdam-region municipalities got their own building passports in 2019
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Madaster's post, dated 6 Nov 2019: 'On 31 October, eight municipalities received a certificate for their advanced implementation of material passports, as part of a material passport pilot project. These municipalities in the Amsterdam metropolitan area (MRA) were each presented with a Madaster material passport for one of their buildings.' Named: Amsterdam, Almere, Diemen, Edam-Volendam, Haarlem, Lelystad, Uithoorn and Waterland.
Caveat
The same post also says the eight 'were awarded this certificate because they were well on their way to obtaining a material passport', so the passport was not necessarily complete on the day. Each passport covers one building per municipality, not a municipal portfolio, and the MRA reaches well beyond Amsterdam (Almere, Lelystad). The account is the platform operator's own.

Claim 6 clm-89d90f0f860af627 descriptive
ongoing circular-building pilots in Buiksloterham, Strandeiland and Overhoeks
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The page, updated 6 November 2025, lists under contractor Dura Vermeer: 'Circular neighbourhood pilots in the Amsterdam Area, such as Strandeiland IJburg and Overhoeks, Buiksloterham, Amsterdam-Noord.' A second company (FRONT) is credited with 'Buiksloterham circular houses'.
Caveat
All three sites appear only as a company's project list on a city investment-promotion page — no start dates, size, budget or per-pilot status is given, and no source outside the page confirms the pilots are running.

Claim 7 clm-f055634e5b48616f descriptive
aim to keep demolition materials in local use
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The demolition half is stated for the same contractor: Dura Vermeer is 'actively embedding circular principles into its projects – from modular building designs to the reuse of demolition waste', and works with 'materials passports to track resources throughout their lifecycles'.
Caveat
The 'local' half is not stated for these pilots. It rests on a different company on the same page (Buurman Amsterdam, which sources from regional deconstruction projects and 'supports local makers'); no source says materials from Buiksloterham, Strandeiland or Overhoeks stay in the region.
