Description
With Peel Positief, we are collaborating with pioneers to make the region net positive. For this, we are collectively working towards several goals (100% circular, absorbing more than emitting, and 100% inclusive), based on shared values (positivity, personal responsibility, inclusivity, and action). By having shared values and goals, a bond of trust is established between the pioneers, making them more inclined to help each other. This way, collaboration and knowledge sharing are strengthened.

Mission Pathways
Representatives of Fontys CoE-SCT are committed to the following mission pathways:
(De)velopment of new construction chains and application of sustainable building materials in the neighborhoods
In redevelopments and renovations in our neighborhoods, we will ensure that this is carried out in a biobased, circular, and climate-neutral manner.
Circular city center and sustainable consumption
In our cities, there are many opportunities for a circular economy. According to the principles of the R-ladder, we will ensure that raw materials, components, and products lose their value as little as possible and that we focus on reusing as much as possible.
Circular neighborhoods and sustainable consumption
There are also many opportunities for a circular economy in our neighborhoods. According to the principles of the R-ladder, we will ensure that raw materials, components, and products lose their value as little as possible and that we focus on as much reuse and sharing concepts as possible.
Climate jobs
For the transition to a sustainable economy, people are needed with new knowledge and skills. This applies to construction, the energy transition, and the greening of existing homes. This requires appropriate training programs, both in vocational and scientific education. There are also pathways needed to retrain people or to impart knowledge about sustainability.
Collaboration and knowledge sharing
Together we increase awareness and engage ambassadors, frontrunners, and exemplary projects aimed at the sustainability of business activities in our cities.
Energy and smart grids
Business parks are large consumers of energy. Sustainable energy from solar and wind is increasingly being generated. By managing demand in combination with storage and a so-called 'smart grid', this can be better aligned with supply.
Regional raw materials market
To prevent new raw materials from being used in construction and industry, a circular raw materials bank can provide a solution. Here, reusable materials are registered and made available.
Scaling up sustainable business parks
Sustainability of a business park requires a collective approach. This means cooperation between entrepreneurs (association), property owners, suppliers, advisors, and the government.
Scaling up the new normal in the neighborhoods
Homes need to be quickly made more sustainable so that living costs less water and energy; at the same time, living in well-insulated homes is much more pleasant. To speed things up, we will need to renovate and make existing rental and owned homes more sustainable in a collective manner, relieving the residents of burdens.
Story Livable Neighborhoods
Outline the perspective for livable neighborhoods in 2030-2040-2050.
Story of Vital City Centre
Outline the perspective for a vibrant city center in 2030-2040-2050.
Sustainability of public space in the neighborhoods
We prioritize the quality of public spaces in our neighborhoods. For this, sustainability, water, and greenery are guiding principles. A green, sustainable, and healthy public space plays an important role in meeting and recreation. It is essential for, among other things, combating heat stress and water nuisance.
Sustainable and circular business operations
A sustainable and circular economy focuses on reducing consumption, production, and the reuse of products, materials, and raw materials. Companies play an important role in this.
Towards climate-neutral mobility in the city center
A large part of the CO₂ emissions in the city comes from cars and the transport of goods. It should become easier to choose bicycles, public transport, or shared cars in our (inner) cities. A car-reduced city center contributes to a pleasant living environment and creates more physical space for other functions such as green areas and recreation.
