The Dutch are entrepreneurial, experienced with sustainability and have a proven ability to overcome challenges in the areas of water and agriculture. The small scale of the country and its level of urbanization, the mainports and its function as transportation hub make the Netherlands an ideal living lab.That is why Circle Economy joined forces with Delta Development, INSID and the Social Economic Council (SER) to start up the Netherlands Circular Hotspot campaign. The campaign consists out of several sub projects and complements the Realisation of Acceleration of a Circular Economy (RACE) program. The RACE program, led by a broad coalition, is aimed at realisation an acceleration towards a circular economy within the Netherlands. For more about this initiative see Nederland Circulair. The NLCH campaign is aimed at sharing the insights from innovative Dutch projects and organisations with the rest of the world. This will speed up the global acceleration towards a circular economy. To read more about this campaign, please visit the dedicated NLCH website.[/av_textblock][av_heading tag='h3' padding='10' heading='Project Organisation' color='' style='' custom_font='' size='' subheading_active='' subheading_size='15' custom_class=''][/av_heading][av_textblock size='' font_color='' color='' custom_class='']The NLCH campaign is initiated by four partner organisations (Circle Economy, Social Economic Council (SER), INSID and Delta Development) and executed by a core team of individuals from Circle Economy and INSID.
