1s5: Circular waste management

Abstract

The global pursuit of sustainable development is an irreversible social trend, also in engineering our future. This has an effect on the work of engineers. New insights resulting from new research and developments can change the situation for which an engineer is developing a solution. Innovation, through research and development, continuously provides new insights. These can be used to develop the best engineering solution. As engineers, we are able to adjust our solutions to the changing situation. One of the most important tools we use to find comprehensive sustainable solutions is our sustainable design principles. Witteveen+Bos developed several analytical, consultancy and engineering methods to accelerate the transition towards a circular and bio-based society.
