Day 1 Week of the Circular Economy
During the Week of the Circular Economy 2025, Jacques Rozendaal will take you into the Green Heart every working day to show you what is happening in the field of circularity. Jacques Rozendaal is alderman for economy in the municipality of Woerden and chairman of Groene Hart Circulair.
The only way to achieve a fully circular society by the year 2050 is to start scaling up circular initiatives now. And the only way to achieve that is through regional and chain collaboration. Green Heart Circular has made concrete plans for 2025 on themes such as chain cooperation in the metal sector, bio-based building, education, Chain cooperation in W + E -electrical installations.
Fresh perspective, cross thinking and cooperation
Jacques also tells where he stands: the Veenweiden Innovatiecentrum in Zegveld, the VIC. VIC is a driver of innovation for a vital and sustainable peatland area. “Fresh thinking, cross thinking and cooperation” are seen as important core values at VIC. It incites creativity, perseverance, sharpness and reflection. To explore, test, research and validate ideas. And to find parties and bring them together.
And all to make innovations really work in practice!
