No matter how much more and more people want to do things differently, the current economy is still strongly focused on 'take-make-dispose'. This traditional system depletes our raw materials, pollutes our environment, damages biodiversity and the climate and makes us dependent on raw materials from other countries. The question is not whether, but how we can switch to a more circular economy and sustainable production - for example of electronics, furniture and textiles. This offers enormous opportunities for you as an innovative entrepreneur.
ROM InWest wants to accelerate modular construction, biomaterials and waste stream processing through upcycling and recycling. Do you, as an entrepreneur, have a sustainable solution for construction, do you develop or process biomaterials or does your innovative product or service contribute to the use of waste streams? We are happy to help you further develop your idea into a large-scale solution for the market.
