Planet
Regeneration is the new sustainability. Not only be aware of our beautiful ecosystem, but also care for it.
Restore and renew the planet.
People
Trust, humanity & wellbeing. We forgot that these ingredients are more important than prosperity.
Social care and societal recovery.
PROJECT DRAWDOWN
The most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming
To solve the big climate problem, we only have to look to nature. This book includes 100 solutions, derived from nature and can be used as a guide.
LEARN MOREProject Drawdown – The Netherlands
Regenerative agriculture, avoiding food-waste and building with bio-based and circular materials; a few solutions which we can implement in The Netherlands. I’m part of the Project Drawdown NL team in which I am working on presentation material to inspire people & companies.
CO2 Reuse
Turn CO2 into value by using CO2 as feedstock
The start-up Green Minerals is founded in 2011 by Pol Knops, a physicist who has been doing research of CO2 storage by mineralization for 8 years.
Green Minerals uses olivine, a widely common mineral that has a natural feasibility to bind CO2. The process is called: mineral weathering, which takes a few years. Green Minerals can accelarate this process with functional fillers as result to make CO2-based materials.
Technology visualization, storytelling & application development
My role in this project is to fill the gap between science and applications / business. I made a website which tells the story everyone understands and I make visuals and infographics which explains the process-possibilities. Besides that, I contact people, companies or institutes who can adopt the technology.
Only through cooperations, we can make this wonderful technology reality!

Circular Economy
Value chain of plastic recycling
From linear to circular business. Plastic recycling is a common example, but in an existing value chain not easy to implement. How can we motion the circular economy?
A selection of slides from a workshop where mainly recycling- and technology companies were present.
Materialen van Morgen
Project plan to make biobased & circular materials & products visible (in Dutch) and start up projects to make products in the Materials of Tomorrow
Regenerative Agriculture
Agriculture- & foodtransition
The global food and agricultural system is broken and we need to recover it. The good news is that we can. Project Drawdown ranked 100 solutions on climate impact and concluded that 12 solutions of the top 20 are related to food & land. A raw material transition will be related to agriculture- and foodtransition. Knowledge in all fields is needed to discover the relations and solve complex system-problems.
Agro-ecological chickenfarm for local sale
KipEigen is a small-scale chickenfarm with special chickens who can lay eggs for 3 years. The free-range chickens can eat from the fruit- and vegetables remains from the garden where they are staying. It is a nature-inclusive and circular concept. KipEigen is working according a CSA-system (Community Supported Agricultre).
I developed a logo and the website, did a part of the storytelling and I am doing publicity activities.
Health
Societal care & health prevention
Regeneration design is not only focussing on the material world, but societal wellbeing is just as important. This needs another perspective: from self-reliance to co-reliance.
I believe that technology can assist the capacity and prevention in healthcare. The most important thing is human care in which everyone can contribute. Just look in your neighborhood and visit that lonely old women. She would be grateful.
Health Prevention
A Serious Game which can save lives in case of a heart attack
Every week 300 people get a cardiac arrest in the Netherlands. A bystander can double a victim’s chance of survival by providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Yet 75% of the Dutch do not know how to do this. The goal of I Save Lives is to ensure that everyone learns how to perform CPR.
I met the founder of I Save Lives and gave the advise to make a website for his innovation. This resulted in a small project.
Education
We need a new education system in which everyone is equal
We have imposed ourselves to performance culture. This starts at primary school by making a distinction between levels in group 8. We see VWO as ‘better’ than VMBO. We can earn more money with an university degree than with MBO or HBO. As a result, a drive for performance has arisen, resulting in burnouts & labor shortages in the public sectors and among practice professionals.
Stop with this measuring-madness. A child who is practice oriented is as much as valuable to the society than a knowledge oriented child.
