The 90-hectare Industrial Park Kleefse Waard (IPKW) in Arnhem is a former AkzoNobel complex, built in 1941 and transformed in 2003 into innovative, sustainable grounds for cleantech companies.

It goes way beyond just offering work spaces. The industrial park has become an innovative ecosystem in which economic and social activities as well as production processes and energy and

highlighting the cultural-historical value play an important role, and buildings are redeveloped in a sustainable manner.

The concept of the Eco-Industrial Park is further carried out in collaboration with utility partner Veolia. The park has its own power plant and its own water treatment plant, which are both

raw materials for another.

About 60 companies, from startup to multinational, were established in this sustainable ecosystem, each of which contribute to the cleantech innovation chain. These are companies that focus on sustainable power generation, hydrogen, mobility, wood preservation and much more.

This range of companies works with the IPKW project organization and with the various educational institutes and governments to expand knowledge and skills in circular economics.

Industrial Park Kleefse Waard

Transforming IPKW into the world’s greenest industrial site.

Positive energy

We have our own water treatment plant and our own

power plant for heat, electricity and gas, which makes us

autonomous. The next step is to preserve this existing grid by

installing a biomass plant. Our dream is to link this plant to all

of our tenants, which will then no longer only be consumers

but also suppliers of energy and utilities.

A collaboration between all tenants, Veolia, and IPKW.

Re-use of materials

We asked two IPKW-based product designers to visit the

waste materials that could be used to make furniture for the

new park restaurant. That way, local materials are re-used in

a very visible way.

A collaboration between Klaas Kuiken, Luuk Wiehink, Teijin

Aramid, 4Pet Recycling, Freudenberg, Accsys Technologies,

and IPKW.

Knowledge creation

With initiatives like the Clean Mobility Center, Fiber Campus,

Design & Technology Center and Circular Hub, we facilitate

and promote knowledge sharing and creation. Together with

students, businesses and the government, we look for circular

solutions by linking this knowledge to energy and materials.

A collaboration between Radboud University, HAN University

companies, Arnhem municipality, province of Gelderland,

and IPKW.

Producing landscape - Planting around 100 trees over the years and another 100 in the coming year, freeing more and more usable

land (such as by planting hemp to replace cotton and purifying water through vegetation) and a structured and clean organization

of the area. This is how we are transforming our park into an inspiring and green work environment for all IPKWers.

Building and direct surroundings - IPKW is home to industrial heritage, which we cherish by using it. When redeveloping a historic

parking lot with an innovative ChargingPlaza. Here, 22 electric cars can charge at the same time, and it also serves as a place to meet.

Gatehouse - The Gatehouse is very clear and welcoming with its all-glass bottom layer and is an eye-catcher through its

colorchanging (depending on the light) top layer, designed by NL Architects. This porter’s lodge – with a central reception and

Restaurant as heart of the community - We created a park restaurant at our site’s central location, in a formerly vacant building.

It is the heart of our cleantech community, where everybody is welcome for a cup of coffee, lunch, events and meetings.

The furniture made of tenants’ waste materials gives it an even stronger feeling of being the IPKW’s living room.

Sustainable interior LB building - Now a modern building, with sustainable use of the original structure in the redevelopment. The

building was made sustainable though the use of concrete core activation, the large windows combined with solar heat storage and

movement and the natural draft in the chimney, which will be used for air circulation.
