Waste-free municipality
By 2030, the municipality of Groningen wants to be a waste-free municipality. One of the ways to contribute to this goal is the realization of a Circularity Hub. A waste and recycling station 2.0, where raw materials and products are reused as much as possible. House of Design has drawn up a toolkit with advice on promising raw materials and bussines models.
