Building a circular Kempen

Searching together for circular business models for SMEs in the construction sector

Switching to a circular business model is not something you do overnight. And certainly not on your own.

In order to help SMEs in the construction sector take that step, three partners (Möbius, VITO and Kamp C) joined forces in the project 'Building a Circular Kempen'. Together, they guide SMEs from the Kempen - and by extension from all over Flanders - in realising co-creation trajectories. During the project, the participating SMEs search for a suitable circular business model, with support from the three partners and with each other as a sounding board.

The project has been running since spring 2019. Since then, three trajectories have been launched.
- First trajectory, spring 2019. Participating SMEs: BaoLiving, Beneens (Alucon), Circomat, Cooperio, DCA, Drisag, Isoproc, Juunoo, Verimpex and Willemen
- Second trajectory, August 2019. Participating SMEs: Binst Architects, B+ Architects, GGGevelgroen, Smart Building Design, Krebo Thermotec and Cleantech Flanders.
- Third and final trajectory, spring 2020. Participating SMEs: Sundry Seeds Mechelen CVBA, Reynaers Aluminium, BBM NV, Dirk maris nv turf and sedum service, B&R, Colruyt Group, DOX Group, WeDeMo Pro , Eurodal and AG Vespa.
