The Amsterdam region has many initiatives to make the future waste-free and circular, from students with creative ideas to entrepreneurs with innovative plans. But anyone who wants to turn waste into a resource for new processes and new products will sooner or later run into questions that can only be answered in a laboratory. That's why 'Open Kitchen Labs' at Amsterdam Science Park has been started: accessible, shared laboratory space, including equipment and expert support, at affordable pricing. Open Kitchen Labs is an initiative of Monalisa Goswami from Spark904 and UvA chemical researchers Joost Reek and Chris Slootweg who are both active in the field of sustainability and circularity. Spark904 has been offering companies access to analytical equipment and expertise at the UvA science faculty since 2018 and Open Kitchen Labs now provides a welcome extension.
