Common House helps governments, companies, NGOs and ventures eliminate waste at the source, by turning circular plans into operating systems that people can run.
We are built by practitioners. Our Residents are entrepreneur-operators who have designed, implemented and scaled zero waste models in the real world. With our Powered By partners in design, engineering, logistics, technology and materials, and a curated startup network, we work as one team focused on execution.
We work with lucid optimism: clear-eyed about constraints, confident about progress. We start where success is most likely, earn visible wins and scale step by step, with simple metrics, sound unit economics and local fit.
Make zero waste the standard, not the exception, and build resilient industries that regenerate our only common house: Earth.
Nori holds the evidence; the people around it have done the work. Each case gets the ones who fit it.
Every Resident has built and run the kind of system we design. Plans are tested against what it takes to operate them, not against a slide.
We work down the waste hierarchy in order: redesign and reuse before compost and recycling. Landfill and burning are what is left.
A system that loses money on every cycle ends when the grant does. We model cost per cycle and per tonne avoided before anything is built.
Through the Powered By network, specialist firms, startups and advisors work on the same case, with one owner from diagnosis to operation.
