Thanks to their expertise in logistics, recycling and the chemical industry, ports have the potential to become circular hotspots. In this context, Port of Antwerp and ACR+ member OVAM have signed a collaboration agreement to make the sustainability transition a reality over the next three years. 

The focus is on waste, materials and soil management. In particular, the partners will work towards sustainable land use, more transparency in the material chains and the destinations of waste materials, more insight into the production of waste materials and the use of (secondary) raw materials, and less packaging waste in ship supplies.

With this agreement the partners will assure the interface with policy frameworks, specifically the Flanders Circular work agenda and the Flemish port strategy.
