Circular Economy
From drawing board to landfill: small adjustments, big impact
The linear economy has reached its limits. Resources are running out, waste mountains are growing and the pressure on our environment is increasing. Flevoland feels that urgency too. But instead of waiting, we choose action.
Flevoland aims to be an example in the circular economy, an economy in which resources are not wasted but continuously reused.
Doing it together, learning together
Our young province has a unique combination of courage, space and renewal.
Room for enterprise
With modern business parks and smart logistics, Flevoland is ready for circular production and processing. Many examples already exist and will soon be showcased here.
Open innovation climate
Governments, companies and knowledge institutions work closely together here on sustainable business models. Communication lines are short and the willingness to experiment is high.
From waste to resource
From circular construction to mattress recycling, we already work extensively with residual streams and reuse. But many opportunities are still waiting to be explored. Talk to us about innovative cases. We are happy to help you get started.
“We are building a circular future. With courage, collaboration and smart solutions, we give materials a second life.”
Tailored innovation
The shift to a circular economy is driven by companies that dare to think and act differently.
- New business models
Services as the foundation instead of products that break quickly, greater producer responsibility, sharing instead of owning and designing for reuse as a starting point. - Smart residual stream processing
From agricultural waste to building materials, everything gets a second life. In a circular economy, waste doesn’t exist. A bit utopian, perhaps, but an important goal to pursue as much as possible. - Closing regional loops
By producing and reusing locally, we reduce transport and strengthen the region. Many collaborations already exist and will soon be showcased here.
