De Ceuvel is situated in the former industrial area of Buiksloterham and is one of the pioneers in the transformation of this polluted zone into a sustainable residential area. Consequently, in the area around de Ceuvel many sustainable projects are now being realized, amongst which many DIY buildings, sustainable living on the water (Schoonschip), Waternet's bio-refinery, compost toilets, heat exchanger, solar energy (De Ceuvel is equipped with over 150 Photovoltaïc (PV) panels that generate energy from the sun), upcycling (De Ceuvel has been built largely out of recycled materials), aquaponics greenhouse, Café de Ceuvel is currently building the world’s very first Biogas Boat. This boat has the ability to convert organic waste into biogas that will be used to cook with in the restaurant. In this way, de Ceuvel reduce its waste production, contributing to an increasingly sustainable circular economy.
The former industrial plot is a thriving community of entrepreneurs and artists, where all involved have lent a hand to build Amsterdam’s first circular office park. The plot hosts creative workspaces, a podium, a sustainable café, spaces (recycled boats) to rent, and in the near future - a floating bed & breakfast.
