5. Dilemma 1: VALUE
• What value do you want to preserve? And for whom?
• Does the client accept ‘waste’?
• Do the costs (e.g. energy) match the gains?

6. Dilemma 2: SCALE
• What do you want to do centrally, what locally?
• Which technologies are suitable for small scale, which for large scale?
ReOrganise: decentralised
reuse of organic waste
• Applied research at three
urban farming locations
• Closing loops with local
entrepreneurs using
decentralised processing
techniques

7. Dilemma 3: COLLABORATION
• How do you set-up a successful consortium?
• How do you create a balance between costs and benefits?

9. Dilemma 4: VOLUME
• Does the volume of the waste stream match the apllication?
• What are the limitations of the supply? Does it result in a steady
business?

10. Dilemma 5: END-OF-LIFE
• What is the end-of-life scenario of the new appication?
• Can it be recycled again?
• How do you organise the reverse logistics?

11. Combining:
• Jute coffee bags
• Biobased plastics
In three fibre types:
• Wovens > pressing
• Non wovens > pressing
• short fibres > 3D priting
Application for Starbucks

12. Dilemma’s
1. Value: what value for whom?
2. Scale: small scale or large scale? local or central?
3. Collaboration: within the value chain or cross-sectoral?
4. Volume: does the waste volume match the application?
5. End-of-life scnario: what will be done with the new application?
