The circular economy is high on the agenda of numerous companies in North Sea Port in order to develop the port in a sustainable manner and to realize a climate-neutral port by 2050. The development of a circular economy requires intensive cooperation. To strengthen this cross-border collaboration, North Sea Port and Smart Delta Resources brought companies, governments and knowledge institutions together on the first Circular Industry Day – a unique momentum.

Circular entrepreneurship in North Sea Port offers enormous opportunities for all sectors. After all, in the circular economy residual, waste and energy flows become a new raw material. By creating collaborations between companies and optimizing material flows, a circular ecosystem is created in which raw materials are reused. 

Anton van Beek, chairman of Smart Delta Resources: “The industries that work together in Smart Delta Resources are diverse and belong to the innovative world top. Companies that provide everyone with products we use every day. The industry must start producing cleaner. We want to do that here in the region. We like to take a pioneering role and dare to focus on the essential connection between the circular economy and the energy transition.”

Daan Schalck, CEO North Sea Port: “By 2025, the port authority wants to have a cluster space of 150 hectares available for circular projects and at least 10 innovative circular activities with innovative technology.
