Onderzoek over verduurzaming textiel

11-10-2023
Onlangs ging de wetgeving ‘Uitgebreide Producenten Verantwoordelijkheid (UPV) Textiel’ in Nederland van start. Met deze wet zijn producenten verantwoordelijk voor een passend innamesysteem voor het recyclen en hergebruiken van kleding en huishoudtextiel, en voor het financieren van het gehele systeem. Lees via de link meer over een interessant onderzoek door Fontys collega Saskia van Overbeek over het inzamelen en hergebruik van textiel. Doel is om tot bruikbare vormen van samenwerking tussen inwoners, bedrijven, gemeente en andere stakeholders te komen. Ook interessant voor de Euregio.

ESC on the go!

03-07-2023
After the kick-off meeting in January 2023, ESC is gaining speed now. More and more of our partners are becoming actively involved. The first Dutch and German students are working within our Living Labs, the research agenda is starting to be brought into practice, we organised an inspiring cross-border event about climate adaptation and we are already making plans for a follow up project of the ESC.

Besides that the ESC already gained public attention in the Netherlands and Germany: people know how to find us through our website and social media which has resulted in new interesting colaborations and publications.

With the summer approaching we want the seeds that we have planted in the first half year of ESC to start blooming fully. We will do this by organizing inspiration events for companies in so called CSRD workshops together with our Dutch and German partners, by intensifying the research together with Dutch and German students in the Living Labs, by setting up a cross-border CIRCO Track in which companies can work together on setting up circular practices and by bringing our research agenda into full practice, joined by students and researchers.

Unlocking the circular potential of the border region

26-06-2023
Recently, research groups at Fontys Venlo have joined forces to develop a common research agenda within the field circular economy. One of the common research topics focusses on building a cross-border community of practice for Circular Manufacturing in which participants can learn from each other.

This theme fits close to the goals of the ESC, in which after summer we will start organising CSRD workshops (about the new EU Corporate Sustainable Reporting Directive) for companies at both sides of the border. These workshops can be used as a stepping stone towards the Dutch/German communities of practice around more specialized topics like e.g. CO2 reporting, remanufacturing, circular supply chains and digital product passports.

The aim of this action-research is to map the circular (or remanufacturing) potential within the Dutch-German border region, to exchange knowledge and practices between companies and business associations and to define and unlock the regional potential for new circular material flows.

The research idea is still in a draft phase. If you want to join the team that works on this research proposal please feel free to contact Fons Cleassen.

On the way to a DIY sensor box

20-06-2023
The Living Lab Healthy Spaces is currently prototyping a sensor box to be assembled by pupils in schools, using digital fabrication tools such as a laser cutter. These boxes will be placed in classrooms, together with the installation of a green wall, to help us find out which physical factors, such as temperature and air quality, affect the performance of the pupils, and how does the green wall affect these measurements. The sensor box will be placed in schools in the Netherlands and Germany. We will of course be happy to share the results later.

Research DWL-WOLF GmbH

12-06-2023

Students of the Living Lab Circular Manufacturing are doing research at the company DWL-WOLF GmbH to make their production process more sustainable. This company also produces insulation material for the steel industry. The students take a closer look at the entire production process of this material and then talk to the customer about prioritizing the improvement projects. What are the quick wins and which sustainability steps can best be taken afterwards and why.
This project is partly realized with the help of Armin Möller of WFG Kreis Viersen. More news about this project will follow.
