UNcontaineD
Reducing waste by repurposing empty shipping containers for social good, specifically student and refugee housing. Europe has high shipping container disposal costs compared to other ports. Shipping companies haul empty containers to ports with cheaper disposal costs, and some will even dump containers overseas in spite of increasing regulations. These containers are recycled and downcycled by the disposal companies. The costs and energy consumed by moving empty containers away from Europe can be reduced if there was a local market for the reusable containers. The Netherlands, like many countries, is also having a housing crisis. This greatly impacts students and refugees who have fewer resources.

E-cofridge
Food waste at the individual level (households). 60% of all food waste occurs at the individual level, every person wastes about 75kg of food every year. We want to prevent this.
BeBetter
When businesses fail there is a loss of knowledge and a loss of function for the materials used. In 2021 there were 250,000 starting businesses in the Netherlands. In that same year 133,000 businesses were forced to close down voluntarily or out of necessity. 50% of starting businesses fail within the first 5 years. Substantial amounts of experience that don't see the light of day. Big numbers of resources which lose its function and are not utilised to there potential.
OpportuCity
As emphasized by the UN Secretary General "cities are where the climate battle will largely be won or lost" as they make up more than 70% of the world's global emissions. Rapid unplanned urbanization, immense pressure on the environment and natural resources, growing inequality and increased energy consumption are some of the problems that create vulnerable cities. Furthermore, cities face a lack of collaboration between different stakeholders, as well as targeted action and democratic allocation of resources.
Hoog Living
Absence of sustainable healthy food products in the fitness sector, based on ingredients that are well-tolerated, healthy and not deceiving in their nutritional nature.
Uni-home
In the current housing market international students are largely underserved as they often start off in a vulnerable position. Especially, newcomers who need to find accomodation before coming to Rotterdam oftentimes need to pay a hefty premium to receive housing. The fact that the housing supply is severely constrained also adds to the problem. Housing platforms usually only provide rudimentary information on the apartment, omitting any profiles of the current residents, as they can afford keeping this subpar quality in a market of great demand. This lack of transparancy not only causes the international students tremendous uncertainty, it also leads to bad accomodation decisions which a lot of students regret in hindsight.
