HCH’s initiatives focus on key sectors like construction, waste management, textiles, and renewable energy. By organizing trade missions, conferences, and workshops, HCH actively facilitates the exchange of knowledge and expertise. This allows other regions and countries to adopt circular economy practices that align with their unique contexts. The platform promotes Dutch circular innovations worldwide, while at the same time learning from global partners to further enhance its approach.

HCH’s influence extends beyond the Netherlands, notably through its partnership with Nordic Circular Hotspot (NCH). The success of HCH played a direct role in the creation of NCH, which was modeled after HCH’s collaborative and knowledge-sharing framework. Today, the two organizations work closely together, hosting joint events that connect Dutch and Nordic stakeholders from industries, research institutions, and governments. These events focus on creating cross-border partnerships, sharing innovative circular solutions, and supporting the adoption of sustainable practices across Europe.

This collaboration between HCH and NCH highlights the importance of international cooperation in addressing global sustainability challenges. By leveraging their combined expertise and networks, HCH and NCH are making significant strides in advancing the circular economy, encouraging both regions to lead by example in the transition towards resource efficiency and sustainability.
