SUSTAINABILITY AMBITION
Circular Heerema
Within our Circular Heerema ambition we aim to eliminate waste, pollution and unnecessary use of resources by focusing on the pillars Prevent, Reuse, and Retain.
Circularity at Heerema
Our Circular Heerema ambition is translated in the Circular Roadmap. The roadmap outlines our aim to eliminate waste, pollution and unnecessary use of resources by focusing on our three circularity pillars.
These pillars are derived from the MacArthur Foundation's 9R's framework, facilitating an overview of circular strategies.

Highlighted projects
How sustainable is 3D printing onboard SSCVs?
What if we could prevent the use of materials, and the use of additional transports by vessel by installing a 3D printer onboard?
What makes decommissioning a circular practice?
The offshore industry requires the use of heavy steel structures, how can the circular economy be applied in such circumstances?
“We are especially pleased to contribute to the circularity of the project by being the installation and removal contractor, which is in line with our own sustainable circular ambitions.”
