Guiding questions for the panellists- How will the role of ports evolve in view of societal challenges such as the transition to a low-carbon, circular economy
- How do ports facilitate, catalyse and gain from the implementation of low-carbon, circular strategies in globalized markets

Circular Economy in the Port of Antwerp
Michel Leyseele
Head of Sustainable Transition
#WRF19
Antwerp is located in the heart of Europe
▶60% of the European purchasing power is within 500 km from Antwerp
▶Closer to point of departure and arrival
▶Europe’s 2nd largest Seaport
▶Presence of Europe’s largest integrated chemical cluster & Europe’s chemical logistic hub
▶ Flanders / Belgium: Recycling knowhow & Facilities
▶Presence / knowhow of logistic service providers
▶ Space for “economy of scale” activities
Antwerp

Role of Ports in a Circular EconomyThe perspective of Renewi
Dries De Pauw
Renewi Belgium #WRF19
Getting to know Renewi
The circularity of our logo captures our vision to give new life to used
materials.
Our strapline is a respected phrase
linked to our heritage and future.
The ‘I’ stands for ‘Innovation’
Renewi connects the Circular Economy

Renewi connects the Circular Economy

3 drivers supporting our “waste-to-product” strategy
Clear environmental
need
Greatercustomer demand
Increasing regulatory push
Recycling will not get more easy in the future…More complex products and often not designed for recycling (or repair)
It’s all about design with a clear circular goal!
Don’t “Waste” your raw materialsUse the full potential of your “Waste”
Design for (future) Circular Solutions(recycling as the last resort)
Integrate today’s practice with Circular Thinking
&
Ports are connecting the (lineair) world today as logistic hot spots
Vision: Ports can connect a “new circular world”
as Circular Hotspots - where;- Raw materials get a second life via recycling
- High quality secondary raw materials find their way to the new products
- New technology like chemical recycling takes “recycling” to the next level
- Combined expertise in logistics / recycling / chemical industry forms a strong base for success
We are a connecting link in the circular economy
- By teaming up we can build Benelux – Circular hotspots
- Our joint expertise in logistics, resources, recycling and chemistry enables us to (re)connect resources and products to the rest of the world!

#WRF19
Fundación Valenciaport (FVP) is the innovation centre for the leading port cluster in theMediterranean. It is an initiative of the Port Authority of Valencia that brings together keycompanies in the port – maritime transport – logistics cluster of Valenciaport.
Together with numerous sector companies, VPF developsprojects on energy efficiency, adaptation to the use ofclean energies, circular economy, measurement ofemissions in ports, ships and logistics chains; and analysisof the impact of climate change on infrastructure andlogistics operators.
We foster innovation by designing, implementing and executing innovation projects to enhance our sector’scompetitiveness. We have an active cooperation policy with port communities and institutions linked to the port andmaritime transport sector around the world.
Who we are and what we do
AREAS of ACTION for CIRCULAR
ECONOMY ACTIVITIES in
PORTS’ CLUSTERS
Current isolated initiatives
National/Regional/Local Strategies
Non-harmonized regulations at port areas
Focused on MARPOL activities (important service)
but not on the waste generated within the port
Port diversity
Level of maturity of Port Governance models and
different needs according to particular strategies
…
INNOVATION ECOSYSTEMS AROUND PORTS ACTIVITIES FOSTERING CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Circular economy at ports – Preliminary SWOT analysis
More than nodes in the global transport network,
facilitators of economy and trade
Increasing emphasis and awareness on environmental
issues
Large experience in seaports collaboration (ESPO, EFIP, FEPORT, ECSA, IAPH, etc.)
Contributors to energy transition and zero emissions
Stable industrial districts and business generators
…
Setting-up location of industries active in waste treatment, collection and
shipment
Innovation circles active promoters
Logistical hubs for the imp/exp. of waste materials
Crossing-points for all kinds of waste and industrial flows
Room for improvement at a system level
Base point for Blue Economy (Shipyards, fishing, marine
tourism, …)…
Business models not sufficiently assessed
Difficulty of replicating best practices in other ports
Lack of standardised regulation on circular
economy
Funding and financing constraints for these
initiatives
Do not solve the problem of waste from its origin
Inadequate stimulation of Education, awareness and training of the workforce
…
S W O TStrengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats
Identification of the needs to achieve circular economy at a system level. Advancedintelligent “waste” management. Adapted solutions for all types of ports (big, small, etc.).
Sustainable development and planning of the infrastructure (building with nature, eco-system approach, coastal recreation, etc.)
INNOVATION ECOSYSTEMS AROUND PORTS ACTIVITIES FOSTERING CIRCULAR ECONOMY
LOOP-Ports project
LOOP-Ports aims to facilitate the transition to a more circular economy in ports through thecreation of a Circular Economy Network in Ports that will provide an innovation ecosystemaround the port activity and stimulate circular economy initiatives in ports.
The LOOP-Ports project is funded by the EIT Climate-KIC initiative in the framework of the “SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS”
