The 90-hectare Industrial Park Kleefse Waard (IPKW) in Arnhem is a former AkzoNobel complex, built in 1941 and transformed in 2003 into innovative, sustainable grounds for cleantech companies.
It goes way beyond just offering work spaces. The industrial park has become an innovative ecosystem in which economic and social activities as well as production processes and energy and
highlighting the cultural-historical value play an important role, and buildings are redeveloped in a sustainable manner.
The concept of the Eco-Industrial Park is further carried out in collaboration with utility partner Veolia. The park has its own power plant and its own water treatment plant, which are both
raw materials for another.
About 60 companies, from startup to multinational, were established in this sustainable ecosystem, each of which contribute to the cleantech innovation chain. These are companies that focus on sustainable power generation, hydrogen, mobility, wood preservation and much more.
This range of companies works with the IPKW project organization and with the various educational institutes and governments to expand knowledge and skills in circular economics.

Industrial Park Kleefse Waard
Transforming IPKW into the world’s greenest industrial site.
Positive energy
We have our own water treatment plant and our own
power plant for heat, electricity and gas, which makes us
autonomous. The next step is to preserve this existing grid by
installing a biomass plant. Our dream is to link this plant to all
of our tenants, which will then no longer only be consumers
but also suppliers of energy and utilities.
A collaboration between all tenants, Veolia, and IPKW.
Re-use of materials
We asked two IPKW-based product designers to visit the
waste materials that could be used to make furniture for the
new park restaurant. That way, local materials are re-used in
a very visible way.
A collaboration between Klaas Kuiken, Luuk Wiehink, Teijin
Aramid, 4Pet Recycling, Freudenberg, Accsys Technologies,
and IPKW.
Knowledge creation
With initiatives like the Clean Mobility Center, Fiber Campus,
Design & Technology Center and Circular Hub, we facilitate
and promote knowledge sharing and creation. Together with
students, businesses and the government, we look for circular
solutions by linking this knowledge to energy and materials.
A collaboration between Radboud University, HAN University
companies, Arnhem municipality, province of Gelderland,
and IPKW.

Producing landscape - Planting around 100 trees over the years and another 100 in the coming year, freeing more and more usable
land (such as by planting hemp to replace cotton and purifying water through vegetation) and a structured and clean organization
of the area. This is how we are transforming our park into an inspiring and green work environment for all IPKWers.
Building and direct surroundings - IPKW is home to industrial heritage, which we cherish by using it. When redeveloping a historic
parking lot with an innovative ChargingPlaza. Here, 22 electric cars can charge at the same time, and it also serves as a place to meet.
Gatehouse - The Gatehouse is very clear and welcoming with its all-glass bottom layer and is an eye-catcher through its
colorchanging (depending on the light) top layer, designed by NL Architects. This porter’s lodge – with a central reception and
Restaurant as heart of the community - We created a park restaurant at our site’s central location, in a formerly vacant building.
It is the heart of our cleantech community, where everybody is welcome for a cup of coffee, lunch, events and meetings.
The furniture made of tenants’ waste materials gives it an even stronger feeling of being the IPKW’s living room.
Sustainable interior LB building - Now a modern building, with sustainable use of the original structure in the redevelopment. The
building was made sustainable though the use of concrete core activation, the large windows combined with solar heat storage and
movement and the natural draft in the chimney, which will be used for air circulation.
