Circularity in Rotterdam
Which groups are we able to distinguish in the city of Rotterdam based on their circular action? What are the opportunities, based on every group’s needs, in creating a more sustainable lifestyle?
This persona set aims to answer these questions.This set is the result of a qualitative research into human needs by Muzus. In this study, the research method of contextmapping has been applied to map the (latent) needs of Rotterdam’s inhabitants. We invited participants to perform associative assignments with creative techniques. This way, they were better equipped in verbalising their experiences and needs in regards to the items that enter their lives, to the way they utilize those items and to the items that they say their farewells to.

Biomasa para la Economía Circular
Todo lo que querías saber para la economía circular pero no te atrevías a preguntar- publicado en la serie de documentos 'Groene grondstoffen'.
En el debate social, "biomasa" equivale a "pellets de madera". Un debate que tiende a convertirse en una mera discusión sobre si efectivamente se refiere a eso o no. Esto implica que se subestima el potencial de la biomasa. Porque la biomasa es mucho más que eso. Es más que unos simples pellets de madera. ¿Pero cuánto más? ¿Y cuáles son las flujos disponibles? ¿De dónde vienen? ¿Tenemos suficiente (suelo en los Países Bajos)? ¿Y cómo podemos utilizar la biomasa tanto para productos químicos como para la energía?
'TKI-BBE' son las siglas de Top Consortium for Knowledge and Innovation in the Bio-based economy (parte de la economía circular). La 'K' y la 'I' equivalen a “conocimiento” e “innovación” respectivamente, un mundo en el que los hechos juegan un papel importante. Este es la razón por la que producimos este documento.
En este folleto hemos recopilado varia información con el objetivo de proporcionar una descripción general y, cuando sea posible, directrices para la política y el espíritu empresarial. En él se ofrece una descripción general de los tipos de biomasa y la disponibilidad de la biomasa en los Países Bajos, Europa y el mundo, y cuáles son las tecnologías disponibles para convertir la biomasa en una gama de productos útiles.
