Mission Overview:

⭐️

Sustainable mobility and logistics

There are various ways to make mobility in the business park more sustainable. Sustainable commuting to and from work offers various benefits and opportunities. It results in climate gains, it is healthier, and it is often cheaper. Working from home, using public transport or cycling to work, carpooling, or using an electric bike.

Employers are encouraged to engage in sustainable commuting and logistics.
Promote slow traffic, shared mobility, and the use of public transport.
Stimulating electrification and emission-free distribution.
Investing in smart traffic solutions (smart mobility)
Desired behavior and promoting awareness rewarding.

Description

The implementation of the Mobility Vision requires collaboration with other disciplines and partners in the fields of redesign, public space, behavior influence, regulation and enforcement, monitoring and adjustment, and financing. This necessitates a working method and organization that ensures cohesion and progress over the years to prevent the emergence of "disconnected" projects that do not complement each other. Therefore, the implementation of the vision will utilize a Multi-Year Implementation Program for Mobility Transition (MUM), which will be managed by a fixed internal coordination team. The precise description of the responsibilities of this team will be further developed immediately after the vision is finalized.

Description

With the collective collection round, we periodically drive through the business parks to collect pallets, ICT waste, cans, batteries, and other specific waste streams from companies. We bring these to local partners who can recycle them in a high-quality manner. This way, even small quantities of these well-recyclable waste streams no longer end up in the residual waste. Raw materials are becoming scarce and increasingly expensive. With the Raw Materials Round, we focus on the smart exchange of residual and waste streams. Waste from one company becomes a valuable raw material for another. From waste to raw material.

Description

The platform was established to support companies in the transition to a circular economy. The focus is on achieving industrial symbiosis through the software tool InduSym. Companies can offer their waste streams to other companies that want to use them as raw materials. The platform facilitates the search for and offering of raw materials, enabling automatic matches with other companies. In addition to materials, vehicles, tools, spaces, services, and even personnel can also be exchanged. The platform offers opportunities for renting or leasing resources and sharing personnel. The concept of industrial symbiosis is used to utilize the waste stream of one company as raw material for another. This leads to more efficient, economically viable, and sustainable business parks. The platform also provides space for necessary knowledge sharing and acts as a circular network.

Description

Sustainability of Industrial Park de Hurk is focused on four sub-tasks: sustainable and smart energy use, space for greenery, water and innovation, sustainable construction and closing loops. Currently, various sub-projects are underway: collective energy solutions, green walking paths, sustainable mobility, sustainable construction and work, closed loops de Hurk, communication & events, and monitoring. These are carried out by BIZ de Hurk, a collaboration among entrepreneurs in Eindhoven. The sub-projects are executed under the banner "De Hurk Werkt!"

Description

The traditional method of waste collection, where each company has its residual streams collected individually by different collectors, leads to an abundance of heavy vehicles in business parks and/or the city center. This situation causes traffic congestion, is accompanied by emissions, and affects the infrastructure. To address this, the Foundation for Business Parks Helmond is developing the resource hub. This initiative introduces small, lightweight electric vehicles that frequently visit companies to collect their separated residual streams. Central to this renewed approach is the physical hub: a strategic point where the collected residual streams are brought together for transshipment. From this hub, the residual streams are distributed to the appropriate processing or recycling facilities, resulting in a more streamlined and circular processing of residual streams.

Description

A major challenge is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from mobility. Private cars are responsible for a significant portion of mobility-related greenhouse gas emissions. Instead of replacing all private vehicles with an internal combustion engine (ICE) with electric vehicles (EV), cities are interested in finding alternative solutions for private car ownership. Inspired by generational changes that have occurred in society, such as driving under the influence, wearing seatbelts, and smoking in public, cities want to challenge the market, stakeholders, and citizens by launching this 'Last Generation of Private Car Owners Challenge'.
