Port Oostende<\/a> and Economisch Huis Oostende<\/a> brought together more than 40 entrepreneurs and researchers for the first forum on the circular economy. A moment in which the first steps towards cooperation were taken.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

In the inner port of Ostend, a cluster of companies active in the circular economy is slowly but surely taking shape. Next to the West Recycle site is the Canadian company AIM Recycling Europe<\/a>, which focuses on the processing of non-ferrous materials. Another neighbour, Renasci<\/a>, is under construction and will process waste by converting it completely into energy and raw materials, with no residual waste. Across the canal is Bionerga’s Biostoom plant<\/a>, Leo Group’s biofuel plant<\/a> and Verhelst Group’s Top-Mix<\/a> & TopAsfalt. Not forgetting AeroCircular, which has set up at Ostend Airport to dismantle aircraft parts. And then there is Dockland<\/a>, which is using industrial co-siting as a tool for circular initiatives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Haven Oostende and Economisch Huis Oostende will inform the partners involved about similar initiatives in due course. All suggestions are welcome at laure.martroye@portofoostende.be<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
