marketplace to get ideas & volonteers in GETTING MORE from WASTE?

I am looking for motivated people to co-lead/co-organize a marketplace at the World Trade Center to discuss Waste management and waste recycling.

My goal is to FIND real and concrete example TO DO MORE with our WASTE:
* how to make small/local circular economy?
* what to do with organic waste?
* what do to from plastic?

With a marketplace we could gather:
* ideas & tips
* partners & suppliers ' names
* concrete examples
* motivated people who want / can to something as well

Who is interested to organize a half day/ 1 day marketplace to collect ideas and engage people in January?

Thanks to let me know?

Hello! I am interested in the topic, but I don't know anyone who can be a good fit... Maybe we can connect and find a way to launch this Lauriane Avril ?
Hi Lauriane, I am the program coordinator for our circular economy ambitions at Schiphol. We want to be a Zer0 Waste airport by 2030. Waste (or better resource) management is a related topic. Would like to have a talk with you and share what Schiphol is already doing.
Hi Lauriane, maybe we can inspirer you with our start-up Threesixty (http://www.three-sixty.info/why-three-sixty) and the waste factory (http://deverspillingsfabriek.nl/) let me know ! Kevin
HI Lauriane, in my network I might have some advisors and suppliers with actual cases. I could join you and Jeremy if you like.
Hello Lauriane, nice initiative! Schiphol Real Estate (co-owner of the WTC building) is occupied with this waste/resource management topic in their buildings. As sustainability advisor for Schiphol Real Estate I would really like to join and help you with the marketplace. My colleague Arman Muller is our contact person for the waste contractor concerning WTC. I will notify him on this initiative as well.
Good afternoon Alessandro, Jeremy, Kevin, Martijn and Inge, Thanks for your reactions and support. I would be curious to meet you & to discuss about circular economy, WTC & Schiphol ambitions... and to hear the ideas, contacts and partners you have in mind. Would you be interested by a lunch or a coffee around lunch time on Wednesday or Thursday? (for example)? Thanks to let me know by private message? Have all a nice day!
Hi Lauriane, I am available on Wed 24th for coffee or lunch at WTC! What about you guys: Jeremy, Kevin, Martijn and Inge?
I can't make it on the 24th. 31st could do for me. Or meet me 25th at Schiphol Group office. I have set up a mini-conference about Urban Mining and real circular materials for furniture, no down cycling there. it starts at 11:30 with a small bite and the presentations start just before 12.Ends at 13:30.
I cant make it on the 24th and also not on the 31st :/
Do we have a date yet? If not, could we collect our normal email addresses to arrange a date? I only need Kevin's, Lauriane's and Alessandro's address to email you all.
