Oscar Circulair operates an area-oriented industrial waste collection service that centralises separated waste near the businesses that generate it to extract higher-quality raw materials and cut polluting transport. The company employs ‘Oscars’—some from vulnerable labour-market positions—who are trained and gain skills within the circular economy. Oscar Circulair says its approach cut residual waste to 30% within three months at Amsterdam’s Westergasterrein and the Olympic Stadium, and reduced transport movements by up to 900 trucks per year at Westergasterrein. The startup aims to lower residual waste industry-wide from about 60% to 10% and to reuse more raw materials while making city environments cleaner. Founders Remco Wagemakers and Jan Willem van Bokhorst plan to expand operations to more cities and areas, starting with Rotterdam.
