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?

Dilemma 2: SCALE

• What do you want to do centrally, what locally?• Which technologies are suitable for small scale, which for large scale?

ReOrganise: decentralisedreuse of organic waste

• Applied research at threeurban farming locations

• Closing loops with localentrepreneurs usingdecentralised processingtechniques

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

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?

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?

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?
