Circular economy
The global population is growing rapidly, driving an increasing demand for products and raw materials. This not only puts immense pressure on natural resources but also significantly impacts the climate, biodiversity, and living environment. Moreover, supplies of essential materials are being depleted, posing a serious threat to the future of our economy and society.
To address these challenges, we are working toward a fully circular economy by 2050. In a circular economy, waste does not exist: resources are continuously reused, and materials receive a second life.
At Oost NL, we focus on developing innovative technologies and processes that enable reuse, recycling, and upcycling. Think of recycling construction materials, textiles, and plastics, or making products in the manufacturing industry more sustainable. This approach reduces waste and preserves our valuable resources.
SaXcell recycles textiles
Together with Oost NL and RegioGreenTex, we are building an international network. This allows us to make a real impact on end users and, ultimately, drive change within the clothing industry itself.
