At the end of January, the CIRCULOOS team, together with Plennid and Herso Circulaire Houtbewerkers, gathered at the Holie Hub in Heeswijk-Dinther for an inspiring event dedicated to advancing circularity in the furniture sector. The event served as a platform to introduce the CIRCULOOS Open Call, bringing together experts, entrepreneurs, and makers to collaborate on innovative circular solutions.
A Step Forward for Circular Manufacturing
CIRCULOOS is more than just a project—it’s a movement that empowers supply chain actors across various manufacturing industries to adopt circular economy principles. Through collaborations, knowledge sharing, and cutting-edge digital tools, CIRCULOOS is building innovative circular supply chains that promote refurbishing, remanufacturing, and repurposing.
During the event, participants engaged in discussions on the importance of sustainable supply chains and the potential of circular practices in manufacturing. The gathering was an excellent opportunity to showcase the CIRCULOOS Expression of Interest (EOI), which invites manufacturing SMEs to connect, innovate, and develop new circular business models.
The Highlights: Collaboration & Circular Insights
📍 Holie Hub, Heeswijk-Dinther – A vibrant knowledge-sharing session, where industry leaders and circular economy advocates explored new ways to close material loops in furniture production.

This event underscored CIRCULOOS’ commitment to driving sustainability in the European manufacturing sector by leveraging data-driven strategies, digital platforms, and industrial collaboration.
What’s Next?
If you missed this event, don’t worry—CIRCULOOS has more exciting opportunities ahead! With upcoming Open Calls and matchmaking events, the initiative continues to seek forward-thinking SMEs, researchers, and industry players eager to shape the future of circular manufacturing.
