Climate-neutral Brainport 2040: Circular water hubs

We proudly announce a landmark collaboration between Eindhoven Engine, Rijkswaterstaat, and a coalition of visionary partners. This agreement, officially kicked off during the Festival of Disruption 2025, marks a decisive step toward achieving a climate-neutral Brainport by 2040 through circular water hubs.

A milestone for the Circular Water Hub

The first phase of the Circular Water Hub at service area Kloosters has been completed. Rainwater is captured, filtered, stored, and reused for the toilets in the Pavilion. Students from Yverta Dordrecht designed the solution, while students from Yuverta Boxtel carried out the implementation.

An inspiring example of learning by doing and collaboration. Rijkswaterstaat provided the experimental space, Bouwbedrijf Th. van Kasteren as part of ‘Coöperatie Symbiotisch Bouwen’ made this operationally possible, whilst Eindhoven Engine is the orchestrator of the broader circular water project for the region. It is great to see the collaboration between these partners!

The next phase will start soon, building on the same principle: capturing, filtering, storing, and reusing water. This time sourced from the highway A58 for local applications such as agriculture.
