About us

We are committed to a new relationship with resources. A relationship that respects the carrying capacity of the earth. Passionate about waste prevention, smart policies, circular systems and reuse. Determined to make an impact. Ready to begin again.

With a team of 9 colleagues, we work on the raw materials transition. We want to see concrete changes and to this end we conduct public debate with facts and figures, set up campaigns, and remind companies, politicians and governments of their responsibility to formulate better environmental policies.

Our work

We are a small but ambitious NGO with a green mission. Our goal is to reduce resource use to fit within the carrying capacity of the earth and its ecosystems. At the Dutch, Belgian and European levels, we engage in policy advocacy, system analysis, stimulating debate, building coalitions and conducting research. Some of our successful initiatives include the introduction of deposits on plastic bottles and cans, and the reduction of rubber crumb on artificial grass fields.

In our action plan you can read our plan for the upcoming years.

We are all about making an impact. We want to see concrete changes and we are always looking for clever angles to achieve that. If we have to, we challenge companies, and where we can, we focus on partnerships. .
