Separately Bookable Tour to Brightlands Circular Space


Brightlands Circular Space is an alliance led by Brightlands Chemelot Campus, Maastricht University and TNO.
They are an international co-creation center for circular plastics and their goal is to accelerate the recycling of used plastics into new raw materials on an industrial scale and to close the plastic loop working with private & public investors, recyclers  and researchers.

 

At the visit, participants will get to explore their open demonstration facility,  witness the possibilities for circular plastics such as those found in food packaging and medical products.


By devising innovative technologies, business models and forms of cooperation, we aim to ensure that sustainable circular plastics will remain available for future generations. A presentation will also be given at the Experience Center to further enrich the visit.
