Upcyclecentrum

The Upcyclecentrum has companies in special workspaces who reshape waste into new products. With upcycling, new products are made from old materials.

3 entrepeneurs have a workspace here:

• ATC Design
  Arold from ATC Design makes furniture from reused materials. This way, old materials can have a new purpose.
• Circuleather B.V.
  Femke, Jim and Thijs work at Circuleather. They use the leather from couches and chairs that becomes available from the demontage hall to create new accessories (such as bags).
• Ralfv
• Ralph makes design products from items such as old shoes (heels), textiles and wood. These objects are not only pretty but functional.

Above the Upcyclecentrum lies the experience centre (belevingscentrum). Here you can see for yourself what upcycling is, what is needed for it and how one can do it. The area is designed in a circular shape. There are various upcycled goods on display made from materials of Almere. Here you can attend workshops, organise meetings or participate in an educational programme. Would you like to have visit, plan a tour or reserve an area in the experience centre? Then feel free to contact upcyclecentrumverberg dit@almere.nl.

The Upcyclecentrum was built and designed with re-used materials. Large amounts of concrete and steel originated from the old vehicle depot and the old recycling centre of the Almere municipality. Tiles, sanitation and large doors came from the old sports centre and swimming pool. The building generates its own energy with solar panels on the roof. There is no gas connection and rainwater is used to flush the toilets and clean the site.
