The eco-task that is in our hands, is realizing products, cities, lifestyles, that are designed with attention for the impact on the

environment and a minimal influence on:

energyfoodwaste

heatingair quality

CO2methane

&water quality

attached people, devoted life-styles

not my piece of cake

there must be a different ‘brand’

....circular....

three steps

circular =

thinking in circles, loops(can we learn?)

innovation

governance

some lessons

learning ‘by’ nature

Who’s the smart guy in resourcemanagement?

Photosynthesis in plants creates energy from sunlight

they absorb almost 100% of the sunlight reaching them

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

So, can we learn ‘by’ nature?

So, Cradle to Cradle?

C2C is on quality

CE is on economics

Innovation

Circular is a new game

with new rules

forget ownership

proces/systems innovation

product or performance?

ownership or use?

value:performance including service

an example.......

A building is a materials bank.

I don’t buy lamps, I buy light. And you?

Laws, Regulations, Taxes?

or

steering on conditions?

Governance

take care of growing

new instruments or mindset?

Condition Steering

set clear goals on:

resources

energy

performance

Condition Steering

tax reduction on

innovation

services

design for disassembly

Condition Steering

public purchasing

focus on performance

(changes innovationdrive / responsability)

Condition Steering

facilitate

the Energetic Society

Condition Steering

create

level playing field

(no hidden subsidies)

Condition Steering

forbidding

natural resources for energy(= waste to waste becomes urban mining)

Condition Steering

investments

new financial optionsgarantuee funds for risks

Condition Steering

steering on conditions

* is a creative proces

* is a systemsinnovation

needs:

ideas, guts and perseverance

Governance

the ducks

Ellen steers

Learn from her performance

no (institutional) power, no ego

clear goals, daily routing
