Cure Afvalbeheer x Zeewaardig
Residual waste goes directly into the incinerator, which is bad for the environment and wasteful. However, this waste stream often still contains a lot of reusable materials. Cure Waste Management enlisted the help of the design researchers from Zeewaardig to reduce the amount of residual waste in the municipalities of Geldrop-Mierlo, Eindhoven, and Valkenswaard. The goal was also to encourage Cure's own employees to think a little more like designers, with the user at the center.
Living LAB 040
You can’t tackle major housing challenges by sticking to what’s always been done. It requires a radically different way of thinking and acting. But how do you approach that? In Living LAB 040, innovative companies collaborate with city residents to explore new possibilities. This goes beyond just the construction process and speeding it up—it’s also about well-being, the visual appeal of the living environment, taking responsibility, flexibility, and smarter ways to manage processes before, during, and after construction.

It's hot in our cities, and it's only getting hotter. That's why the municipality of Eindhoven is working hard to green the city. Greenery also brings comfort, coziness, and shade, and has a positive effect on our well-being. But how do you bring more nature into the dynamic, ever-changing urban environment? Well, for example, with The Many Tree. This rootless tree is at home in any outdoor space. Need to move the tree? You can leave the saw at home, and just move the tree to a new spot!
