North Sea Port Webinar "Circular Port" (April 20, 2021)

North Sea Port Webinar "Circular Port" (April 20, 2021)

North Sea Port sees residual streams, CO2 and waste as valuable raw materials that play a key role in the circular economy. In the new strategic plan, therefore, circularity is one of the crucial topics. The port authority resolutely opts for a circular port. Space for initiatives by existing and new companies and industry that contribute to a circular port are a priority for North Sea Port in the ports of Vlissingen, Terneuzen and Ghent. 

The transition needed to meet the climate goals is a task in which North Sea Port is working together with industry.

Together with VNO-NCW Brabant Zeeland and Flanders Circular, North Sea Port is diving into the subject of circularity with government, port businesses and experts.
