Circularity

North Sea Port plays an active role in this search for innovative circular solutions. We bring together the partners in and around our port in a smart way: on the one hand to stimulate cooperation between companies, knowledge institutions and governments across national borders, and on the other hand to facilitate the exchange of residual, waste and energy flows, and (by)products. 

Materials such as scrap and paper are of course recycled. In addition, heat and CO2 from the production of fertilisers already go to the heating of greenhouse horticulture, or hot water from the paper factory goes to the car manufacturer, via a pipeline that even keeps the cycle path above it free of ice in winter. As a Western European port, we are also ideally located and amply equipped to receive and process waste flows from the wider region and far beyond.
