The most sustainable business park

They want to achieve this with sustainable infrastructure and buildings, maximum biodiversity, clean water systems and smart roads and biking lanes.

Example projects

Sustainable roads are created using Warm Mixed Asphalt. Solar panels are integrated into the biking lanes to provide energy to the dynamic LED lighting. There will also be a testing ground for developing innovative products, such as cementless concrete products with a top layer based on a vegetable binder with reflective properties so that less street lighting is required. Stepelerveld is an example project where the municipality, province, and companies work closely together.

Succeeding in sustainability

The ambitious concept for this business park arose when floor manufacturer Uzin Utz was the first company to settle here with a sensational, energy-efficient building. This inspired entrepreneurial Haaksbergen to extend the green concept to the entire business park. Naturally, companies that do business sustainably are welcomed here with open arms. And where necessary, they are also supported to make further sustainability improvements. The ambitions and expectations are high. There is great confidence that Stepelerveld will attract many entrepreneurs. These can be large and small as well as existing and start-up companies.
