More on the subject

The Flevum Sustainability Circle invites you to an exclusive session at Renewi, one of the leading waste-to-product companies in Europe. At Renewi, sustainability is not just an ambition; it forms the core of the business model.

As the transition to a circular economy gains momentum, organizations face a significant challenge: how do we move beyond relatively simple CO₂ reduction measures and address emissions that are deeply embedded in complex value chains? Renewi is at the heart of this challenge. The company transforms waste streams into valuable secondary raw materials, thereby contributing to more circular and low-carbon value chains across various sectors.

We are honored to welcome Alice Schimmelpenninck, Head of Sustainability at Renewi. She will share Renewi’s vision on the next phase of sustainable business transformation. During the session, we will explore how resource recovery, circularity, and intensive collaboration within the value chain can contribute to reducing emissions and creating economic value. Special attention will be given to the role of data, partnerships, and collaboration between different parties to achieve meaningful progress that goes beyond traditional CO₂ reduction measures.

Prior to the inspiring presentation, participants will be welcomed at Renewi’s location in Nieuwegein for a guided tour. During this tour, you will get a look behind the scenes at the processes used to process waste into secondary raw materials. This provides a unique view of the infrastructure and technology that make a more circular economy possible. You will also gain insight into the scale, complexity, and innovation involved in modern waste processing and resource recovery.

This session is more than just a site visit. It is an opportunity to discover how circular economy principles and collaboration across the entire value chain can help organizations tackle complex sustainability issues – and at the same time contribute to a new perspective on waste as a valuable resource.
