Experiences​ 24 September

On this day you can visit one of our business clients, like circular hub De Groene Afslag, Hortus Botanicus, Roze Bunker and farm de Bouwerij.

You are very welcome to see first-hand how savers' and investors' money is working towards positive change. The Experience Day is between 10:15 and 17:30.

Everyone travels with a pre-arranged bus to and from the client visit.

De Groene Afslag (Laren)

De Groene Afslag is a circular meeting place in Laren, with meeting rooms, delicious catering, a unique terrace, green programs and home to De Veranderschool. Here, you can see for yourself how the world can become greener, and how you can help make it happen.

De Groene Afslag makes change fun and manageable, putting you in a green mood. In August, De Groene Afslag is moving to a new location: an old military building that has been completely redeveloped in a circular manner. This new location is approximately two and a half times larger and is located 400 metres from the old location. From 1 September, everyone is welcome at the new location. So are we!

Roze Bunker (Culemborg)

The Fruit Butchers (Fruitslagers) at Roze Bunker are revolutionising the soft drinks industry. They promote biodiversity, process waste streams, and collaborate to shorten the food chain. Soft drinks and aperitifs as the solution!

In collaboration with the industry, they are creating a circular fruit chain, from bud to stem. This year, they expect to squeeze 36,000 kilos of peeled lemons from the limoncello industry for the Citrus Movement, and they will brew a whole new line of condiments from the leftover scraps: Preserved. Is your mouth watering yet?

Bee Foundation (Groenekan)

Bees are the buzzing heart of nature. They are responsible for almost 90% of all pollination on Earth. Without them, the world would look very different, and the supermarket would be almost empty. Bee Foundation from Groenekan represents the voice of all bees and is committed to protecting bees and promoting biodiversity.

Bee Foundation helps people connect to wild bees and biodiversity. Together we can create more bee oases for wild bees, bumblebees and butterflies. Their main focus is on education and getting people involved in planting and management. Through their Bee Academy, they offer refresher courses and, where necessary, distribute bee badges.
