Every second Wednesday, the Circular Industries Talks are organised at the Circular Industries Hub. On Wednesday March 22, Tim Kaasjager presented at the Circular Industries Talks. Tim Kaasjager is Co-Founder and Head of Product Development at Biosphere Solar.
Disrupting the solar industry
Photovoltaics is the energy source of the future, but also creates a massive waste stream. Biosphere Solar is a global collective developing a fair and circular solar panel. This way, they aim to set a new design standard for the solar industry, making circularity the norm. Tim Kaasjager tells us more about the following questions they encountered on their way to developing a fair andd circular solar panel.
- How do we make solar panels suitable for the new economy?
- What comes first in the circular economy: market, industry, product, customer, government...?
- What is the role of the startup in the material and energy transition?
- How can different disciplines best work together within the circular solar industry?
-
What kind of story do we want for the future?
Curious about the whole story? Listen to Tim Kaasjager, about the disrupting the solar industry in the Circular Industries Talks.
The Circular Industries talks
The goal of the Circular Industries talks is to share knowledge across Leiden, Delft and Erasmus and to complement and deepen the knowledge already available within the Circular Industries Hub. The talks are organized on Wednesday morning from 10:00 to 11:00. The talks are online (Microsoft Teams).
