FM PLATFORM
On 23 September, Hello Zuidas organized a ‘green walk’ through Zuidas as part of the effort to offer alternative ways for people to get together and learn from each other during the pandemic. Themed ‘greening Zuidas’, the outdoor meeting was made possible by Hello Zuidas’ Facility Management Platform and intended to inform businesses, organizations and residents about area developments, as well as to inspire and enlist them for greening the district.
GREENING ZUIDAS CIRCULARITY The walk set out from Circl, a prime example of innovation and circularity, where everything revolves around highquality reuse of materials. Designed for energy-neutrality, the building produces almost no waste. Sjors Mineur, in charge of programming at Circl, took us on a journey through the platform’s story. The focus, he explained, is on reusing materials and climate resiliency. After that, Daniel Goedbloed, Rainproof programme manager at Waternet, picked up the thread. By a stroke of luck it was raining during the presentation, allowing Goedbloed to demonstrate how rainwater can be captured and to describe the many ways companies can use it. Rainwater is great not only for DANIEL GOEDBLOED & SJORS MINEUR
