Input What will participants do? |
The Groene Hub co-manages the collection of biodegradable waste. Local food scraps are collected and with the help of residents, the municipality and a waste company. The Groene Hub ensures that biodegradable food scraps (green waste) from local residents are collected in the 20 cocoons placed throughout the neighbourhood. The green waste is then either composted or turned into green gas which is stored and used by the Johan Cruyff Arena. Through the Groene Hub Newsletter the residents are kept abreast of how much green waste is assembled in each cocoon, and as an incentive the participants can pick up a bag of compost. Visitors to the Johan Cruyff Arena are informed on how much green gas is used at the Arena and where it is sourced from. |

Output What will happen? |
The Groene Hub, local residents and the JC Cruyff Arena will collectively incentivise the collection and conversion of biodegrable waste to green gas. |

Outcome What will change? |
If the Groene Hub, local residents and the JC Cruyff Arena increase the amount green gas produced: Local residents and the Groene Hub will receive increased revenues from sale of the green gas to the JC Cruyff Arena. Whilst the Arena will reduce its energy costs and carbon emissions, in line with its stated long term objectives & the ZuidOost's Masterplan's aims to reduce carbon emissions across the ZuidOost. |

Impact What will be learned? |
Groene Hub, local residents and the JC Cruyff Arena will learn how to optimise the prodcution, storage and use of green gas from biodegrable food scraps. Including learning from seasonal and cyclical patterns throughout the year. They may also learn how to increase community - Arena engagement from their joint interactions around the biodigester |
