These agricultural systems were quite new to me, as we tend to focus on more industrial technologies and applications in our course.";"While filling out the canvas, I was keeping in mind previous experiences similar to this one. Thereby, I tried to keep in mind what I have learned during my Industrial Ecology education, and the biggest insight probably comes from the complexity of stakeholder interests related to the doing business. Even though in theory I know that this is the case, it really became visible during the game, as suddenly you need to negotiate - thereby carefully making up the balance between what I need for myself and what I can do for others, from which I might coincidentially benefit as well at a later moment.";"From the beginning of the game, I was trying to set up a wet biodigester together with some others. However, at the same time another coalition was very committed to getting all the assets and resources for a dry biodigester, and considering that these assets/resources are scarce, only one could win. So basically, due to the quick acting of the other coalition, despite of our goodwill and proactivity, we did not manage to get the wet biodisgestor. This shows to me that you really need to be on top of your game from the very start, because it can determine a lot during the rest of the play and either work in your advantage or disadvantage. While in the end, it was not so bad that we did not get what we wanted, it still showed that you need to be quite confident and knowledgeable in what you want to achieve, and find the right persons who are willing and capable to cooperate, only then there's chance to succeed.";"I could relate quite well to my character, as I am into the idea of having a small company that values real human contact, rather than growing into something that goes beyond and is more commerce-focused. Yet, I found myself being a small player among others which much larger investment capacity, or labour force, or resource ownership. Therefore, I had to use my likeability as a player against the strong, economic interest of others which was not easy. Moreover, I noticed that since we were only playing one round in the game, our interest in establishing and maintaining a good relationship was minimal. Because you know that this will be the only time to negotiate, there is not much incentive to put your own wants and needs aside much, because you know that there will not be a next round in which you will may benefit from a carefully built relationship. So the temporal dimension of a game is crucial for its development, and the conduct and \"gun-factor\" (i.e. goodwill) of the players toward each other. I could imagine that in real life, this dimension might be even more influential.";"I could imagine that my character feels alienated from developments in society focused on expansion and capitalism. Instead, he want to deliver a good quality product, and collaborate with other parties to decrease the footprint and add value to society and environment. Our detachment from our food and where it comes from has grown over the past decades, and only by re-connecting with our food - in this case dairy - will aid in overcoming our longing for more, and more processed stuff. So my feelings towards this character are quite positive, although I wonder how he'll keep up between the other, larger companies.";"I noticed that at the start of the game, I felt quite all over the place and needed to regain my focus and repeat to myself what I wanted to accomplish. So it took a few minutes to get onto the right track. I have learnt that you should be very flexible when it comes to thinking about industrial symbiosis. Sticking to one optional exchange does not really make sense, because before you notice it, other players have lost their interest because a bigger, better offer has entered the stage. My main learnings on learning are therefore twofold: 1, a good preparation is absolutely essential to make you responsive to other's actions and 2, having multiple plans - just in case that plan A fails - is indispensable. Things always go a different way then you could've thought of beforehand, so better know what you want, and set up a few pathways of how to get there, but do not be disappointed if even plan B and C cannot be established. Instead, see it as an opportunity for something else, potentially bigger and better, and move on with it.";"IE_Msc";"2";"game_post";"game" "3";"I formed some partnerships to benefit from circularity in the system. Through these partnerships, we implemented technologies whose output is beneficial for all the participants involved. What I found interesting is that these partnerships always include many participants. This was something I did not anticipate before playing the game.";"During the game I was involved in the implementation of three technologies: dry biogestion, mushroom farm and large-scale composting. I provided labour and garden waste from my waste streams as input for dry biogestion. I was able to obtain heat and electricity in return. I provided labour in the mushroom farm. I was able to acquire champost using these technology. I provided labour and organic waste and reed as input for large-scale composting. I also provided money for manure seperation although I did not use any of its outputs. Thanks to these partnerships that I formed, I was able to implement different technologies, to get significant number of my necessities in a closed loop, and to use all my waste streams. I had the preference for products that are close to me. In that sense, it was good for me that large compost was built in the land of Industrial Park and that dry biogestion technology was built in the land of agricultural contractor. I also tried to form a partnership to implement silage to generate animal feed. However, it failed due to lack of machines since there was only one actor with machines at that point and he was not interested in animal feed.";"";"As negative externalities, by starting implementing a technology, I might be preventing another technology being implemented at a later stage of the game since we're running out of resources and assests. For positive externalities, by starting implementing s technology, we stimulate collaboration, trust between organization and I believe this might result in other collaborations for other technologies.";"One of my objective is to produce food responsibly via organic farming, resulting in a natural capital. Moreover, I provide a pleasant place for people who are not able to work at the labour market. By this way, I can create human and social capital.";"I could observe during the game that we needed to make connections with as many organizations as possible by communicating and networking. Also, if we needed to find some machines to build a technology, it was also practical and useful to inform everyone that we were looking for some machines so that everyone could participate and contribute to the search.";"";"";"I want to be able to produce food responsibly though the organic farm. For this farm, I need firewood, champost, electricity, gas/heat, animal feed, compost, straw, hay. In addition to these, I prefer to acquire for products from the close area.";"I had lots of labour/ work force that was essential to implement some technologies. This was valueable to the others.";"This farm allows the food to be produced in an organic and natural way, without having to worry about dangerous chemicals.

Thus, I believe my costs for using all three technologies were significantly lowered through making partnership. Howevre, I also put some money in the manure seperation technology even though I did not need any of its outputs.";"";"Since the technologies we built have very complicated characteristics, they come with lots of risks associated with them. For instance, I mostly provided the work force, yet the technology was situated in someone else's land and the money was given by someone else. This leads to a very sensitive and complex system. I personally cannot tell how to avoid or mitigate these risks. In theory, having multiple sources where you can obtain your necessities would work, but this was not the case during the game.";"";"";"My business model was able to create social values creation because it creates job opportunities for disabled and/or local people who are not part of the labour market.

Before the game, I thought it would not be possible to bring in too many participants for a technology. I was mostly thinking one to one partnership, which was of course not useful and sufficient to implement the technologies. Having many partners made the technologies possible, but also very complicated, and possibly very delicate. The space, the money, the labour and the inputs were provided by different partners in all technologies. This might cause operational problems in real life. Futhermore, most of the time, we did not really focus on how to divide the output from a technology. We would need a mechanism or maybe an external organization for that purpose.";"The knowledge I learned from the game preparation document was useful and gave me a basic idea of the system. However, I do not know to what extent I applied them. I guess there were many point I understood during the game.";"First thing was to understand how much input and what type of assets are needed for different technologies. After that, I tried to find partnerships by looking at their needs and what they have to offer. Finding partnerships was sometimes a bit difficult since I did not know all the time who was who and what they had. So, I asked around. I also tried to let everyone know what I am looking for. Sometimes people who did not have what I needed still knew someone else who had what I needed and directed me to these people. For most of the time, we managed to find enough partners to implement a technology, except for one time, where the only person with the required asset was not interested.";"Before the game, I did not really believe I would be able to talk to too many people and make too many connections. However, during the game, I felt comfortable to be active to form partnerships, and to be engaged in different technologies . Another observation is that everyone was very into their roles and taking it seriously. Everyone tried their best to be successful.";"As I mentioned in the first canvas, I was intrigued by the conflict between different organization and interested to see that. We were not able to implement a technology because it was not in line with the interests/needs of one organization. Similarly, the technologies that were built in the beginning of the game were actually limiting the other possible technologies at a later stage of the game.";"I think that this game itself was more effective and fun way of learning how circular economy works in such a system.

Wherever possible, the actors should be transparent and honest about their requirements and what they can offer, so that a positive relationship can be built. As experienced in the game, this strategy really worked as everyone was honest with their needs and values that they could offer. However, not everybody was able to benefit out of this because other dominant actors pushed for a technology that was beneficial to them, and not everyone was able to obtain value out of it.";"By facilitating tenants to collaborate with each other, as well as with other organisations within the system, there is a possibility that new partnerships can be formed. Also, by encouraging the occupany of new offices that can form symbiotic relationships with other actors in the system. For e.g., if the business park can invite a horticultural company and also start some of its operations within the system, a new symbiotic relationship can be formed with other actors. This does not change as no new partnerships were formed, the only ones that could be formed were with the existing actors, which was, in a way, expected.";"The business park could take the role of a coordinator and organise regular meetings and events wherein the actors of the system become more familiar with each other, and this rapport can lead to interesting outcomes in terms of the relationships that can be built. The business park should also try and identify opportunities for its tenants, thus establishing that it has a strong preference to introduce and implement sustainability as an important goal for its tenants. It can also initiate, test and implement pilot projects for sustainability. After playing the game, I realise that being proactive or definite about the technology that would have been the most beneficial to maximum actors, including myself, would have helped to achieve my value proposition. ";"New avenues for collaboration by helping to create an informal environment wherein actors can interact. Prospective tenants for whom sustainability is not a core value can also be encouraged to think about getting introduced in the circular system by looking at the financial benefits and added positive image that such an association would give rise to. It might not always be possible for the business park to decide on which company occupies the space, and there could be some which do not consider sustainability as an important objective. In this case, negative externalities could be countered by asking new tenants to objectively look at their value chain and to identify areas wherein a symbiosis can be developed, also they could provide consultation on how this can be done. The comment related to positive externalities does not change as there is always scope for it. However, negative externalities could be designed out by being more proactive and facilitating the development of a symbiotic relationship.";"Human capital - introducing volunteering opportunities in farms, nurseries, gardens etc. through the companies that occupy the office space as tenants. Financial capital - tenants that do not comply with the rules and standards related to municipality set by the park, could be asked to pay additional taxes or penalties, that could be used as funds in sustainability initiatives. Natural capital - allowing only tenants that would contribute to this symbiosis, for eg, a horticultural setup This does not change much either because I would still follow the same to create different forms of capital. However, my main focus would not be on creating all three forms of capital, I would rather think about encouraging atleast one of them such that that would be beneficial to other actors, who might then encourage another form of capital that could be beneficial to me. ";"As a business park, a multi-displinary team could be built by collaborating with the agricultural contractor, gardeners, allotment garden, fruit garden, park management, arable farm, cattle farm, care farm. These actors require as input the waste that is produced by the business park. Connectivity could be used in this situation by giving preferences to actors that are locationally close to the business park, for eg, the allotment garden and the fruit garden, etc, moving further across the setup. The business park itself requires electricity, gas and heat which can be obtained from other actors that have the capability to process their waste and produce heat/electricity from this source. The business park could also collaborate with other actors and pool resources so that they can generate resources for their necessities, in the case wherein actors are unable to invest on their own, but have the same needs as another such actor. I would say that this has not chamged after the experience because this was visible in the game itself.";"A networked system/structure or a transport mechanism using which waste can be transported to respective destinations, and a way to bring in heat/electricity from actors that would get this produced through insitu processing. There should also be a possibility to store excess waste that could be generated, so that it can be processed/transported at a later stage. Along with the above, I would also need to have enough information to know the requirements and values of other actors, and real time updates to know what can be facilitated.";"Not Applicable, as the business park is currently functional and only provides a working space. The individual requirements are to be handled by the tenants of the park. In the case wherein we need to consider the construction of the park as well, most of the resources required would be new, coming from wood mills, cement and tile production plants, interior decoration firms, etc. Services such as electricity and heat could be obtained from local services through collaboration or on a contract basis. At the end of the lifetime of the products, these should be disposed of in a responsible way, for e.g., the furniture etc could be sent for recycling or reuse, or can be broken into smaller components for use by other actors, such as the care farm. This remains the same as before due to the nature of the role of the actor (Maple)";"As a business park owner, I provide space for offices, studios and small-scale catering. Although this does not benefit the society directly, it fulfills the need for other organisations by providing spaces in which they can operate. To fulfill these needs, it could either be a product or service, and this depends upon the working model employed by the business park. As it is currently renting out space, it is a service offerred by the business park. The needs I am aiming to meet are electricity, gas and firewood heat. Although these requirements can fall under either category, as they are required continuously, they can be categorised more as services. In the course of the game, I was able to provide space to house a technology (mushroom farm), although I was not able to satisfy any of my needs using that deal.";"In addition to the space offerred to function, the business park is also open to new initiatives, and hence can offer prospective clients the opportunity to innovate and work on projects which may not always be encouraged at other such places. It is also of good value to prospective tenants who are inclined to sustainability, as the tenants are sustainable creative people, and this can motivate them to become better at implementing this goal. Upon playing the game, I realised that the value I was able to provide was the space for the mushroom farm.";"A business park which houses organisations of different backgrounds, yet all of them have sustainability as its important goal. This common space, along with the presence of local eateries can serve as a good way for similarly inclined companies to collaborate and progress. The park is also open to new initiatives, which is an added value for tenants who want to test and run pilot projects. This has not changed since my value proposition still holds. ";"The projects that are worked upon by all tenants can be made open-source, so that they can be improved upon by everyone through contributions in their respective fields. Although the park should be open to all kinds of organisations, building its image as that associated with sustainability might encourage the incoming tenants to think about this value. As the primary goal of the actors was to fulfill their primary needs, the added value proposition that I offerred was not as attractive a deal. I would have instead focussed on choosing to invest in and house the right technology.";"The business park's primary customers are the companies that occupy its space, whereas with respect to the circular system, its customers would be those that buy its waste. To develop this relationship further, the park could be in close contact and collaboration with these customers, ensuring that their needs are met on time, and in case when demand is more than supply, the clients should be made aware of the situation beforehand so that requisite arrangements can be done. This would not change much either, as being in contact with the customers is fundamental to becoming adaptable. It would be a two way relationship, with each one gaining something out of it.";"At the disposal or end-of-lifetime phase, the materials which would not be required could be given to actors in the system for whom these would be valuable. This still holds true as well.";"For any given time, all organisations that occupy office spaces/studios/catering establishments could be evaluated to understand what their raw materials are, and these should be matched with other actors of the system so that a more value based system could be developed. This would need to be reevaluated when the actors change or their needs change. I think that this is still valid, and I would still use this to redesign my relationship with the supply chain.";"Not Applicable. As the service offerred is that of providing office spaces, there is no feedback loop that is possible.";"The park cannot play too big a role in the reverse logistics chain, but can play the role of a facilitator for the organisations that it hosts as tenants, by helping them identify opportunities for symbiotic relationships. My experience from the game suggests that the park still has a limited role in this regard.";"Companies looking for a space to operate or for studios. Eateries that wish to extend their services as catering facilities and require space to operate would also be potential customers of the service. My customers would remain the same, however, if I consider the symbiotic relationships into account then the actors with which I have formed a deal would also become my customers, and vice versa.";"Due to the open and encouraging nature of the business park, there is potential for a lot of beneficiaries in the situation. By providing a conducive environment for initiatives, especially those related to sustainability, there is scope for good research and progress that is ultimately bound to have a positive impact on society. Although cost is a constraint, the opportunity for new initiatives can help increase the number of beneficiaries, especially by having on board more companies that would also be interested in these. In addition to the points mentioned before/above, other beneficiaries would be the actors with which a symbiotic relationship has been formed.";"For production of heat and electricity, technologies such as wet/dry biodigestion, biomeiler could be adopter. However, the park does not have enough resources for implementation, and hence costs related to these technologies, such as, outdoor space, large investment, knowledge etc. can be shared and lowered. As seen from the game experience, the above comment still holds - multiple actors had to come together to make a technology feasible to implement.";"This could be possible, for example in the case wherein there is vacant office space and there is a requirement by a company already present in the area to use it temporarily. In addition to the above comment, other than the usual services offerred by the park, the storage space for the mushroom park could also be shifted to a model of payments for access and usage. That deal was not very beneficial for me, and changing the model of use would help generate finance to invest in another technology to fulfill my needs.";"Not Applicable.

The increased funds could be used to improve the existing setup/facilities of the park, or then be used in the sustainability initiatives. In addition to above, being a beneficial actor to others might improve my image and lead me to developing more fruitful relationships.";"By providing office spaces and studios for rent, it could help create human capital through the opportunities of volunteering that could be made available in the urban area. Natural capital could be created by letting, for eg, horticultural companies occupy office spaces, such that they could also operate their farms/greenhouses in the vicinity. There could also be an opportunity for research institutes that are interested in alternative medicination types such as organic and all-natural to settle here, as there is access to gardens and nurseries within which plants of interest could be cultivated. Social capitak could be created by providing a common space wherein tenants as well as other actors in the urban area could come together to collaborate, helping to provide an informal, positive working space for such interested parties. The above still holds.";"If the initiatives in sustainability are successful and can be commercialised, it can lead to scientific as well as economic progress that could lead to increased revenue. By changing the ownership model for the space, for example, it could lead to increased revenue.

Another aspect that I understood was that cooperation and collaboration, being transparent and honest with other actors with whom the symbiotic relationship could be built is also critical, because that is when a truly positive and beneficial relationship II be formed. Thus it is not only about the technology applications, but the human dimension also matters. The different types of technologies and their functions were also learnt. In addition to above, I also learnt that it is necessary to be well aware of what the needs and values of other actors are, so that a technology that is most beneficial for maximum actors could be implemented. ";"By reading and understanding the needs of the actors and the technologies, especially for the role I was assigned, I was able to better understand how a mutually beneficial relationship could be set up and wherever applicable, have elaborated on how this could be done. In the canvas, I have also suggested that the social aspects of cooperation and collaboration are important, and explained how where applicable. I was also able to apply the concepts relevant to the technologies useful for my role. The above still holds true, however, I only realised the importance of working together. Initially, we formed sub groups or started looking for actors that wanted something similar.

However, while doing the exercise I realised the importance of social aspects such as cooperation, communication, etc. Also, it helped me to think further about such a system by providing a direction to the thoughts and helping them develop in that way. I also learnt the importance of being absolutely sure of one's needs and having the confidence to push it through and convince other actors so that it can actually be implemented.";"This exercise added a new dimension for me, i.e. the importance of social relationships/networks for such a system to work.

The above still holds true, the social aspect matters as much as the technical one.";"On the first reading, it seemed to be an information overload: structuring this information with the help of notes and tables made it easier to process the information. Also, this helped to form connections among different concepts, and the use and application of visual information. I also realised that this exercise required a lot of focus, failing which a coherence cannot be developed, and this was necessary to identify possible symbiotic relationships.

The best technology for my needs is a dry biodigester, because it can use up my 1 ton/year raw organic material, and requires less investment compared to the wet biodigester, however, I don't have sufficient assets to invest in it alone. I assumed that Gardener Klein might be interested in the same technology, which turned out to be true.

If we can use the waste efficiently this will also lead to cost efficiency as we do not need to dispose it against payment. I also worked together with the cattle farm as our waste streams are similar so we could brainstorm together how to move forward. We also bundled out knowledge about silage and created the silage technique which provided food for our animals while using our waste.";"It is very important to actually work together, get to know each other and trust each other. Make use of the differences and value the different perspectives. Therefore, it is useful to know what we need and what we can provide. In addition, the tragedy of the commons won't work, luckily we did not do this. It is important to think about the bigger picture and see how we can optimally use each other. I would therefore talk to everyone, see how we could help each other and stay friendly. Moreover, try to always keep the bigger picture in mind to come to the most efficient solution for all. It was however difficult, as we were with such a big group, so it was sometimes hard to see the bigger picture.";"The capabilities that I need are to connect and cooperate with others. We need to create a machine which could use manure. I have knowledge about how to seperate manure which could be of use for an even better long term solution. With my knowledge and manure as waste I could support the wet biodigestion which leads to biogas which could be used for heat and electricity which I need again.

Therefore, I will also have to pay less for my necessaties as it is made from waste.";"I think so. As my waste could be use to create animal feed and heat and energy I think this is something others want to use too. I am however not special as others share the same knowledge and waste.";"To reduce risks I could look back to history and learn from the past. I could also read into climate change and the news and see how to adapt. Meaning that I need to consider people considering more plant based diets. Also that methane is a huge climate problem and that I might have to cut in my amount of cows and invest more in plants on my land. To reduce my dependence I should lower my gas, heat and electricity necessities, I would therefore have to invest in maybe having a windmill on my open space or putting solar panels on my barn where the cows are during winter time.";"I would work together with an agrofarmer to switch lands every other year to optimally keep the lands fertile. I would also use my left over land efficiently by putting windmills on it for example and also put solar panels on my barn.

This was sometimes more difficult as multiple people had multiple knowledges for example.";"I learned that we really need each other to become a circulair economy. I also learned that it is difficult to not be in a very strong position. It could be difficult to go from a dairy farmer to a more plantbased farmer if for veganism becomes more populair for example.

There basically is no waste as it looks like the waste could be used in the machines and produce new useful products. I also feel like much more support should be provided to them for a change and there is much potential for working together. I am not sure if there is competition between different types of farmers, but I would recommend that they work together.

I would organise a centralized discussion with all parties in the community to discuss the purchase of new technologies.";"First of all, the Gardener Groene Vingers can use Noests' wastestreams of liquid and raw manure. This wil eliminate 2 wastestream already. Furhtermore, the verge cutting grass that is a wastestream of Noest, can be dried to become hay, which is a neccesity of Noest. The final two wastestreams, ditch crops and raw organic material, can likely be used to produce compost. However, this requires a new technology. Since technologies are quite expensive and might not be able to run optimally for small entrepreneurs like Noest, A technology that might be interesting is the Dry Biodigestion, which requires raw organic material and ditch crops as inputs, among others. When working with neighbouring farms and the business park, plenty of inputs can be collected. The revenues of the dry biodigestion can be splitted proportionally the inputs and assets deposited. Further Noest has some specialized knowledge of composting that other parties might be interested in. Furhter the networking capablilties that Noest has can be of great value of other parties. An example of this is the BioMeiler technology. Noest only requires some extra labour in order to make the technology work. It produces compost and heat, popular neccesities.";"Eliminating wastestream in the first place and otherwise using wastestreams in order to produce neccesities for Noest or neighbouring parties by collaborating and purchasing technologies. Furhter it might be uselful to use Noests' scarce assets in the community during the negotiation process in order to gain greater financial benefits. Less scarce resources could be given away easier.";"Obviously, reducing wastestream could help become more efficient and gain financial benefits that could be used to further develop the area. Also, the elimination of manure wastestreams could enhance soil quality that benefits all neighbouring parties and could enable long-term development. Soil quality can be checked regularly to monitor improvements or degradations in soil quality. Furhtermore, it might be useful to discuss progress with all stakeholders in the area once in a while and jointly look for any further improvements.";"Human capital could be created by sharing knowledge with other parties in the area and discuss relevant topics. Discussion can lead to new insights. The municipality could also organise trainings that teach entrepreneurs how to work in a sustainable way. Natural capital could be created by recycling wastestream into useful neccesities for the area. Lastly, financial capital could be created by becoming more efficient with resources. Financial capital can also be created by bundling assets of different entrepreneurs in order to purchase technologies.";"First of all, I would look at all the stakeholders involved in the process / value chain. Second, I would add some independent experts (social, technological and environmental) that could help guide the team to the optimal solution. Third, in order to facilitate the discussion I would add an indepedent facilitator to the conversation. In order to embrace connectivity, I think it is essential to come up with a clear goal that everyone agrees on.";"In the short term I would dry the verge grass cuttings in order to produce hay transport the manure to neighbouring gardener Groene Vingers. In the long term I would look at buying a new technology collectively that could process the remaning wastestreams. Another option would be to obtain some extra maintenance labour, so Noest could purchase the BioMeiler on its own and consequently exploit and reap the benefits from this technology by using it as a service for other entrepreneurs to lose their waste streams.";"As Noest uses quite some energy and gas, a transition to renewable energy with solar panels would be a great possibility. Furhtermore, some compost can be collected from the BioMeiler and some electricity can be collected from the Dry BioDigester. Also the grass that is characterized as waste can become hay over time when drying it. Some manure can be collected from waste stream from other gardereners in the area.";"Agricultural Contracter Noest is an experienced entrepreneur that aims to use the value of waste stream for financial benefits. Expanding the farm is quite expensive since the City of Amsterdam charges high lease prices. Therefore, Noest aims to become more efficient. Since Noest has a wide network of entrepreneurs, he might be able to use waste streams of his neighbours. Further he might be able to use his own waste stream (especally Ditch crops) to supply his own neccesisties (for example compost) using new technologies. Those new technologies should incorporate Noests' machines. Verge grass can easily can supply for hay that is one of Noests' neccestities if it can be dried.";"Noests' neighbour De Groene Vingers needs stabilized liquid and raw manure, which is a waste stream of Noest. When the community decides to join forces in assets and inputs for purchasing and using new technologies, basically any waste stream can be used. In that way Noests' waste stream can have potential value for the entire community.";"Noest aims to add value and gain financial benefits by reusing waste streams as much as possible by collaborating with various stakeholders in the region. In this way it respects the earth's resources while enhancing economic progression.

Most technologies cannot be utilitzed optimally when used alone. Perhaps the municipality could facilitate this process of the initial purchase. Since Noest is an agricultural contracter it will also somewhat be dependend on seasons.";"In order to create renewable energy it might be an idea to start purchasing solar panels in order to become independent of external energy supply.

In addition, parties have to collaborate from that ouset . This is obvious, but by applying such a specific case to the topic, it is clearer to me how such cooperation comes into play. One just has to start communication on a specific project somewhere and consider the needs and wants of other parties that are involved, and as such it becomes a puzzle where its necessary to check what demands fit which wants and supply.

Furthermore, the fact that everybody provides a bit, but cannot do it by themselves, will give everybody a sense of urgency.";"The nursery is a quite unexpected partnership, which brings people together that usually would not interact that much. The nursery really has to provide a starting capital as well, but they will benefit from the sense of fulfillment reached by it's workers, as well as a big part of the gas revenues. The rest of the partnerships can be seen as more conventional.";"Basically, we need a worker force to use the machines, and we need a close cooperation between the companies to redirect the waste and product flows.";"First of all, a lot of the waste is re used. This causes for a lot of people to benefit. Secondly, the workers from the nursery feel more connected to society, and to their literal neighbours. Negative externalities might be a quarrel over the profits, and waste that goes unused. To deal with them, new partnerships might be included in the project.";"As stated before, the human capital created by letting people from the nursery work is the most important capital. Moreover, the gas can be used by all of the actors, as can the electricity. The compost, fertilizers and animal feed can be used by multiple actors.";"The companies need to be involved. The involvement needs to come not only from financial stimula, but from ideological standpoints as well. To make the area grow as a whole should be the main point of all the companies involved. However, in reality we see that every company is driven from an individual standpoint more. So to provide them with enough revenues to see the benefit of this cooperation is going to be the big challenge, and a well thought out strategy towards dividing the yields needs to be in place.";"For a start, we need a financial injection by a wealthy company. As soon as the system is up and running, we need to make sure that the machines keep on working the way they do, as do the workers. Furthermore, we need to keep everybody happy with the balance between what they put into the system and what they are yielding from it.";"Our financial resources will come mostly from the nursery, as does the working force. The waste streams come from all the companies that want in.";"I want to ensure that there is more cohesion in the area. To do so I want to get the nursery, the fruit garden, more farmes from the neighbourhood and of course our own business to cooperate. The nursery can provide workers, which gives the workers a feel of urgency. At the same time, the cooperation gives an output of gas, compost and heat, which is needed by all of the entrepeneurs involved. To ensure this output, I'd like to build a wet biodigiestion system, a large scale composer, organical material storage and a biomeiler. The waste streams from most of the companies can be used in this system, and the output can, depending on the technology, be used by multiple or all partners. We as a company can contribute greatly by giving knowledge, land, and machinery, and benefit from it because we get gas, and don't have to pay for our waste anymore.";"Yes, both the use of waste streams and the output are valuable to multiple actors in the area. The gas from the biodigestion system can be used by all actors, as well can the electricity.";"The reuse of waste streams and at the same time the engaging of local actors practically sells itself.";"The partnerships that i chose can supply an ongoing stream of the materials needed, but they are not irreplaceable. Might one of them go down, there are more actors in the area which can take its place. Moreover, if one of them grows or expands, the possibilities of this partnership grow even further.";"At first, the main challenge is to get the whole system working. When this is working, we can evaluate the results, and see if all the stakeholders are happy. This might include relocating the yields, revenues, or even changing the resources of for example the working force or the waste streams. The system as itself is not the most nimble, but the actors involved are. Meaning that the whole investments need to be made, and the actal machines are going to be installed. But the actors using these machines might change over time, because a lot of stuff going into the system is interchangable.";"Seeing the way a farm business works will engage the people involved. This way, they'll get more familiar to the farming business as a whole. To connect the rest of the parties involved, regular meetings and deals about the division of the benefits can be very useful.";"As one of the the biggest player in this system, our supply chain will not differ all that much. However, the extra people involved can be a great asset in later times. So, to keep them on board, it is smart to start giving them a bit bigger share of the pie than they deserve. Later, you can cut back on this, since the system should be useful for everyone.";"The machines and human and financial capital that we use is not only fit for ourselves.

The cohesian in the neighbourhood will grow, and the people will get closer. More practical, around the parties directly involved, chains exist. So they might benefit as well. Reducing costs might also be noticeable in the other end products produced by the actors. eg. the yumyum jam might get cheaper for the consumers.";"Costs for energy, costs for garbage disposal, and costst for manure and other composts";"Yes, that is what this model is based on.

If the companies produce more then the system can take in, we need to rethink the way we use. On the other hand, if the demand is too big and the yield to small, we need to make the system more effective, which implies having a new innovative way or tehchnique.";"As one of the biggest players, our share of the pie should already be big. By using most of our waste, we can dramatically reduce our costs, and by using the revenu streams to fill in our own necessities, we grow even further. Since we can almost sustain some of the systems ourselves, we do grow our own pie substantially";"As stated before, the human capital created by using workers from the nursery can not be underestimated, and neither can the increase of social cohesion in the neighbourhood";"We definitely increase our knowledge about all of the new systems, which can be very useful in the future. Moreover, the existing products from lots of the farms can be produced cheaper, which can either lead to a decrease in price for the consumer, or to a greater benefit for our company.";"Agricultural Contractor Noest";"The circular economy can be a lotbigger and more engaging then i thought before this experiment.

I got quite an amount of waste streams. First, 100 tons/year of grass cuttings. These grass cuttings can be used for dry biodigestion.

However, as I dig into the information I was fascinated and excited to learn about numerous possibilities to turn waste into new products and services. As I imagine and think upon similar business cases in real life situaion, I realised that there are a lot more factors I need to care about - such as possible rejection from potential purchasers, or the core interest each customer has.";"I learned how to learn and develop business models more effectively by organising my own data chart. I created my own chart where I put in detailed value for my assets, sales plan and the output. I found it very helpful.";"MSc";"44";"game_post";"game" "45";"By providing others whom e.g. produce biogas with the resources for making this, in return for gas/power/heat.
