Roadmap to circularity

Everything you use becomes waste. Nothing we can do about it. What we can do something about what we do with the waste.

Everything you use eventually becomes waste. There's nothing you can do about that. But we can change how we deal with that. In fact, everyone is obligated to do something about it: Netherlands must be 50% circular by 2030. That means that 50% of everything you use should find a next life.

Make money from your throwaways

We are The Bin. We ensure that you earn money from your waste stream. How? By thinking logically. We map out large waste streams from companies, searching for value. We turn your production chain inside out and see if we can introduce discarded products to the market in a new way. In their entirety, in parts, or as raw materials. Because a product that no longer works for you can be very valuable to others. This way, you earn money from what you discard.

How?

There's only one way to find out: research. Based on your question, we examine all the ins and outs of your waste stream. We analyze your product, identify the pain points, and discover where the undiscovered value lies. Based on that research, we provide you with a thorough analysis so you know where you stand and what the possibilities are. Don't expect a 'beautifully worded vision' from us. We'd rather give you an Excel document. Next, we leverage our network. We identify which partners can help you in your production chain, create samples for a potential new product, and take the first steps in setting up a new chain.
