Students Open New Green Factory in Emmen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today marks the official opening of the Caleyda Extraction Facility by Paques Biomaterials\u2014an important step towards the future of green chemistry. This facility produces a natural alternative to plastic and demonstrates what is possible when knowledge, technology, and courage come together. The opening ceremony was carried out by Technasium students from Hondsrug College. They represent the next generation, building on what is being established here today. This gives them the opportunity not only to understand the technology but also to experience how collaboration and innovation can change the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Green Chemistry Programme<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of the opening, the students took part in an inspiring workshop. It was led by lecturer Marja Veurink from the new and closely related Green Chemistry degree programme at NHL Stenden, and by extraction expert Boudewijn Brandt from Paques Biomaterials. The students learned not only about biopolymers and the circular economy, but also about their own role in the transition to a green future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a Circular Future Together<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, the municipality of Emmen has been working with businesses, schools, and knowledge institutions to develop a strong network for green chemistry. With a forward-looking vision, Emmen is taking bold steps to promote the transition to circular plastics. Councillor Guido Rink commented: \u201cThis collaboration is a wonderful example of how we\u2019re shaping the future in Emmen. By actively involving young people, we make sustainability tangible and real.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bold Cooperation: This Is Not a Solo Journey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s exactly why Paques Biomaterials chose this location. \u201cThere is a well-established network here that supports the scaling up of our company,\u201d says Joost Paques, CEO and founder of Paques Biomaterials. One of the company\u2019s core values is bold cooperation, because the circular economy can only succeed through collaboration. All of this takes place at the Getec Park Emmen, which is committed to sustainable entrepreneurship and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
