Key features

The world's first logistics building inspired by the Cradle-to-Cradle philosophy.

National Steel Sustainability Award 2016
Reuse (demolition) materials
Flexibility
Use of mixed granulate instead of concrete rubble, so that the concrete rubble can be used in situations with the highest material reuse value
Water features have been created with green balconies to relax during breaks in fine weather

Innovations:

Innovative steel construction, according to the Design for Disassembly concept
Business case for 3,000 m2 of solar panels based on roof rental
Pilot 100% recycled underlayer asphalt with a top layer of biobased asphalt
CO2-purifying paving through application of olivine
CO2 air-purifying plants for noise reduction, wind protection and increasing biodiversity
Application sewers with vitrified clay pipes instead of PVC pipes that are harmful to plants and trees.
Energy-efficient lifetime LED lighting in office and hallway

Sustainable Development Goals

Circular, multifaceted. Future Forward.

Fokker 7|8 sets a new standard in sustainable logistics.

The design by OPL architects is based on Cradle-to-Cradle principles and realised according to the Design for Disassembly concept. The structure is largely demountable, with minimal welds and bolted joints that facilitate future reuse.

Solar panels provide more than enough energy for own use, while surpluses are shared within the Fokker park. In cooperation with Excluton, paving has been developed with a top layer of olivine that breaks down CO2.

Ponds have been constructed to provide adequate water buffering. Rainwater falling on the pavement is treated locally through a lamella filter. A triple improved and separated sewerage system has been applied. This represents foul water, rainwater and dry weather drainage.

The building features a digital materials passport that makes every component traceable and reusable. This vision of circular construction was awarded the 2016 National Steel Sustainability Award, recognising the innovative use of steel and the integrally implemented circular design.
