Bolder, Next Gen site, Antwerp
The NextGen site in the Port of Antwerp will soon become a hub for the circular economy4. Bolder Industries is building its first European tire recycling factory and offices there. It’s a flagship campus for potential expansion across Europe. The focus is on sustainability by equipping all buildings with green roofs, additional solar panels, and turbines powered by residual gases from the factory. A 30-meter-wide green boulevard will provide a tranquil oasis for employees. Bolderblack, a Bolder product made from recycled tires, will be used for facade panels and road surfaces. Attention was paid to the site layout to avoid bottlenecks.
