Mechelen wants to reuse waste from local companies in the furniture industry: "Nothing should be lost"

The Circular Hub region of Mechelen[1] wants to think about how industrial waste can be reused in the furniture industry, together with several partners and furniture companies. With a survey among companies and organisations in the Rivierenland, the initiators first want to map out which materials, such as textiles, metal and wood, can possibly be recycled.

The Circular Hub region of Mechelen[2] wants to reuse waste materials from nearby companies together with local furniture companies Cammers[3] and Bulo[4]. The city has a tradition of furniture making and wants to revive that chapter in an ecological way. "The dream is to reuse all waste and residual products that are released during the production of furniture. Even furniture that is thrown away. In such a way nothing goes to waste," says Patrick Princen (Green party), alderman of Climate and Environment, summarising the project.

The Circular Hub, a collaboration between the City, Thomas More Research[5], Unizo[6] Province of Antwerp and Ecoso vzw[7], first wants to gain insight into the waste or residual flows. "By that we mainly mean surpluses of wood, foam, plastics, textiles and metal. We ask companies and organisations from the Rivierenland[8] to see what they have in their waste container. Based on that survey, we look at how we can tailor that supply to the demand for products. For that you first need to have a good picture of those flows."

Various benefits

According to alderman Princen, there are several advantages to a circular furniture industry. "Firstly, in an ideal scenario, nothing is lost anymore. Everything that we now label as waste is reprocessed into products. Secondly, one avoids becoming too dependent on others for raw materials or petrochemical products. If you use them carefully you have to rely less on production from other parts of the world."

Alderman for Enterprise Greet Geypen (Open VLD, liberal party) also sees opportunities in the project. "This project is aimed at stimulating the circular economy and teaching skills to fill in jobs with shortage in occupation. Collaboration with local furniture companies can accelerate the transition to a circular economy and strengthen employment in our region."

[1] Mechelen (traditional English name: Mechlin) is a city and municipality in the province of Antwerp in the Flemish Region of Belgium. The Dyle (Dutch: Dijle) flows through the city, hence it is often referred to as the Dijlestad ("City on the river Dijle"). Mechelen lies on the major urban and industrial axis Brussels–Antwerp, about 25 km from each city. Inhabitants find employment at Mechelen's southern industrial and northern office estates, as well as at offices or industry near the capital and Zaventem Airport, or at industrial plants near Antwerp's seaport.

[2] Stimulate circular entrepreneurship and diversify and increase employment for people with a distance to the labor market. That is what the City of Mechelen wants to achieve in the region. That is why it opened a circular business counter. Companies from the Mechelen region (Mechelen, Bonheiden, Berlaar, Bornem, Duffel, Lier, Putte, Puurs-Sint-Amands, Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Heist-op-den-Berg and Willebroek) and enterprising citizens' collectives can now go here with all their questions. The wide dissemination of knowledge about social employment is also an important step. The development of the circular economy in Mechelen offers many opportunities for employing people with a distance to the labor market. A study of the Mechelen economy by Möbius Business Redesign shows that a quarter of the circular jobs that will be created by 2030 are suitable for this target group. With these initiatives, Mechelen wants to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. https://www.mechelen.be/ce-hub-regio-mechelen
