Together with LivingGreen (TUDelft and Ecohuis Antwerpen), REcentre organised an interactive workshopday on water. The goal of the lab was to develop product and service concepts that would drastically reduce the water amount used in households.

REcentre invited experienced (Stefan Schöning, Roel Vandebeek, Peter Van Riet) and up and coming (Ben Hagenaars, Lizanne Dirckx and Maaike Seegers) designers to give their view on sustainable water use in our daily living situations.

Solutions for Tomorrow went on the road! Together with Innovatiecentrum and Agentschap Ondernemen, we organised local sessions on sustainability. In November 2010 you could go to a breakfast or lunch sessions in the five Flemish provinces. On the menu: presentations about sustainable materials by OpenRaam, about ecodesign strategies by OVAM and two, fresh sustainable and local sustainable companies talked about their succesful business.

REcentre publishes sustainable success stories from companies active in diverse sectors (from coffee to chocolate, from radiators to chemistry,...) out of the Meuse-Rhine Euregion. They all have the same vision: sustainability is an economic necessity! This publication showcases good examples of embedding sustainability in the company's strategy.

This book will never be finished.

Although sustainability is the magic word these days, we cannot yet speak of a sustainability revolution. Sustainable innovation still seems to be synonymous with complexity. Establishing sustainability and durability requires producers to make substantial investments, both in time and money, and is based on an innovative and flexible relationship with the user. In times of crisis, however, producers often simply cannot afford to take risks.
