About Circulaire

Circulaire develops circular infrastructure systems that convert industrial waste heat into productive economic output.

The Opportunity

Heat-intensive facilities — datacenters, refrigerated warehouses, industrial buildings, logistics hubs, and compute sites — generate massive continuous thermal output. Most of this heat is currently dissipated to atmosphere through cooling towers, chillers, and exhaust systems.

This represents both an economic inefficiency and a missed sustainability opportunity. Facilities pay to generate heat, then pay again to reject it, while circular production systems nearby could use that same thermal energy.

Our Approach

Circulaire designs and deploys modular thermal recovery infrastructure that integrates with existing cooling systems. Recovered heat is transferred to containerized circular production units located adjacent to the host facility.

These systems are engineered to be relocatable, scalable, and non-disruptive to facility operations. No permanent infrastructure commitment is required.

Why It Matters

• Facilities can improve energy efficiency metrics and reduce cooling costs
• Measurable carbon impact through reduced energy consumption and avoided emissions
• ESG reporting value: demonstrable circular economy implementation
• Local value creation from waste streams
• Infrastructure-grade systems with low operational risk
• Modular approach allows phased deployment and flexible scaling

Applications

Circulaire's thermal recovery platform can support various circular production applications, including controlled-environment agriculture, aquaculture systems, biomass cultivation, greenhouse integration, and bioprocess infrastructure.

The specific application is determined by available thermal capacity, site characteristics, and partnership objectives.

Our Vision

Establish circular heat reuse as standard infrastructure practice. Prove the technical and economic viability through pilot partnerships. Scale deployments across heat-intensive facilities in the UK and beyond.

We aim to create a replicable model where thermal waste becomes productive economic infrastructure, demonstrating that circular systems can deliver both sustainability outcomes and commercial value.

Leadership

Circulaire is led by Mikael Boëcasse, with experience in circular food systems, aquaculture operations, and sustainable infrastructure development. The project combines proven thermal engineering principles with modular production system design to create novel circular infrastructure partnerships.
