Summary of the project

Grevelingenpolder was founded in 1996 by Peter and Debby Hanse. In 2016, the second generation, Twan and Paula, decided to continue the business and become co-owner become. "Grevelingenpolder is located in a unique place near the Grevelingenmeer and we like to be aware of that. We do everything we can to reduce the pressure of our company minimize nature and the environment".

The issue they want to tackle is how, thanks to the use of wadis and plants that retain a lot of moisture in the soil, they can ensure optimal use of rainwater and prevent the use of tap water. A business plan was therefore written with the help of the experts within FACET.

Business plan

In 2021, 24 coastal tourism entrepreneurs were enthusiastic to work towards a more circular business and presented us their specific challenges and needs. All of them stepped into an individual coaching program with external experts.

Early 2021, the experts accompanied the entrepreneurs in defining their needs more precisely. During several coaching sessions the experts were able to guide the entrepreneurs towards the circular solutions that fit their specific needs and business. Feasible and tailor-made advice was given and written down in a Circular design proposal and action plan. This resulted in a final Business plan.
