Circular Plastics

The challenge

Plastics are useful materials, but usually not very sustainable. They are made of fossil fuels. These are running out. That is why Greenwise Campus is working hard on circular plastics. We are looking for ways to reuse plastics or use plastics longer. And we are looking into bio-based resources to make plastic with, for example, beets, malic acid and hemp. This is how we are contributing to a sustainable future.

Plastics

Plastic is made of fossil resources. These are running out. Plastic also creates much waste. The production of plastic generates high CO2 emissions. That is why plastic is not very sustainable. We see this as a challenge. At Greenwise Campus, we are working hard on circular plastics, because these contribute to a sustainable future.

Collaborate

Greenwise Campus collaborates with Chemport Europe to give shape to the Circular Plastics pillar for all of Northern Netherlands.
