From waste to value
From waste to value
met Caroline Passenier (Scalda) & Jeroen van Schaik (Impuls Zeeland).
Caroline and Jeroen show how Zeeland is transitioning from linear to circular: residual streams instead of waste, a harvest plan instead of demolition, a biomeiler as a heat source, and room for experimentation. The Kenniswerf as a place where collaboration and visibility accelerate. “Ons bin Zunig” reinvented.

Caroline and Jeroen show how Zeeland is moving from linear to circular thinking. Waste is revalued as a residual stream, demolition becomes harvesting, and a bio-boiler demonstrates how old crafts and new applications reinforce each other. They emphasize the need for regulatory space to experiment and the power of collaboration between education, entrepreneurs, and government at the Kenniswerf. The Kenniswerf serves as a break area and an innovative testbed where initiatives become visible and where students learn through curiosity and practice. The conversation concludes with the thought that “Ons bin Zunig” (We are thrifty) takes on new meaning: being thrifty with materials and thinking future-oriented.
