The new Atlas of Sustainability has been released, showing the impact of humans on the earth, such as climate change, the depletion of raw materials and the loss of biodiversity. The Atlas also provides insight into the (inter) national agreements that have been made to reduce the human impact on the planet. Of course, everyone has a role in this, so the Atlas provides tips and advice to companies, citizens and governments on how to reduce their impact. Everything is beautifully illustrated with clear and compelling maps and charts.
Among other things, the Atlas describes how the material flows in the Amsterdam metropolitan area go. In our project on the circular port of Amsterdam, we show what role the port can have in the material flows through the region. The Atlas of Sustainability includes an illustration of the circular port made by URBANOS. Nice to have contributed in this way to the Bosatlas.
The circular economy is an opportunity for the port, but it also has consequences for other business parks, residential areas and shopping centers, for example. In various projects we show what the opportunities are for an area if the circular economy principles are applied. It is important to include stakeholders and we try to achieve this in various active ways by making the circular economy very concrete and tangible.
