About Loop Rocks

Loop Rocks is a start-up initiated by Nordic Construction Company (NCC) to provide a solution to one of the construction industry's largest challenges - the handling and transportation of masses from construction sites. By utilising Loop Rocks, the entire construction industry, as well as end-users, can handle waste and secondary masses in a smarter, cost-reducing, more efficient and environmentally friendly manner.

Loop Rocks is an open marketplace for stone, earth and other building masses. All Loop Rocks users benefit by reducing time, costs and environmental impact by using less virgin materials and unnecessary transportation resulting in lower CO2 emissions. Loop Rocks provides transparency, working to make the entire construction industry more circular.

Loop Rocks launched June 2016 and had already handled over 1.5 million ton of masses thru the app, with 6000 users connecting more than 1,500 sites throughout Sweden and Denmark. We are launching in Finland end of October and then Norway before expanding into the rest of Europe. The app is free of charge and available for both Android and iOS. 

You will be recruited and interviewed directly by the CTO. For initial questions and more information, please contact Head of Loop Rocks Carl Zide on 0046707943609 or [email protected].
