DO YOU GIVE PUMPS A SECOND LIFE?
Together we reuse materials, reduce CO2 and create social employment!
The Netherlands wants to be fully circular by 2050, when everything will revolve around reusing raw materials and we will have no more waste. Much work remains to be done to achieve this goal, which is why the 10 industry leaders are taking action now with the Circopomp.The Circular Pump Chain Initiative!
Every year, 830,000 new circulators enter the Dutch market and, as a result, 1,900,000 kilos of old pumps end up in landfills. By collecting these old pumps, together we can give them a second life and not waste valuable materials.
