Huub Looze and Margreet van Uffelen from Omlab work towards a nature-positive construction industry. They research biobased and circular materials, like their strong 'Buildmatterial'.They also design and 3D print products like embankment tiles and fauna modules to help restore soil and biodiversity.

Build sector

The construction industry is responsible for a quarter of all waste in the Netherlands. In addition, the industry often relies on materials that deplete scarce resources, such as concrete, or on products that are harmful to nature, like chemical coatings. As a result, biodiversity in the Netherlands has been declining for a century, with current levels only 15% of what they once were.
