Circular Manufacturing: Towards Net Zero Production

This edition explores how companies use circular manufacturing to enhance sustainability and extend product lifecycles.

We are very pleased that we contributed to the DIVE study. The results are truly valuable, because it gives us insights in the workforce (arbeidsmarkt) of Twente. Now we know where can we put our joint effort to change it for the better. Also we are very happy that we can integrate the game in the pilot project about internationalization.
