DuCoop is a cooperative that provides sustainability services to the residents of De Nieuwe Dokken. DuCoop supplies sustainable heat via a heating network, but many other environmentally friendly techniques are also used.
Our sustainable initiatives
-
Heating
All homes are connected to district heating. So you do not own own heating system, but a heat exchanger that draws heat from a collective piping network that heats the entire district.
-
Water
The wastewater is collected and treated in the district. After purification, it gets a second life as process water at the neighboring company Christeyns.
-
Waste
Separate waste processing is of course the norm in the Nieuwe Dokken. DuCoop processes kitchen waste into biogas and a fertilization product that is recycled locally.
-
Mobility
DuCoop promotes sustainable mobility by offering a network of electric charging stations for cars and bicycles.
