A recent article in De Telegraaf highlights the fCN Jewel Awards, an event that brings entrepreneurship, innovation and connection into the spotlight. The event demonstrates the importance of strong networks in sharing knowledge, discovering new opportunities and driving progress together.

During the event, presenter Wilfred Genee asked Henk Kras what advice he would give to entrepreneurs looking to make their businesses more sustainable. His answer was clear: “Take a look inside your waste containers and see what valuable materials are being thrown away. Give us a call, and we’ll come and collect them.”

Kras also emphasised the importance of collaboration: “Without a network, you’re nothing. Take this fCN community, for example. When you connect and work together, you can achieve great things.”

This message aligns perfectly with the vision of Circular Plastics Foundation. Circularity starts with recognising opportunities, but it truly takes shape when businesses combine their knowledge, resources and networks. By working together, we can preserve valuable materials and take meaningful steps towards a circular economy.
