Blue economy in a former swimming paradise
The entrepreneurs in BlueCity are aspiring to a waste free chain of production and consumption. In a former tropical swimming paradise they live by this principle: RotterZwam grows mushrooms using coffee grinds from the Aloha Bar. CO2 that is formed during this process can be used by Spireaux for creating spirulina, which is a base ingredient for veggie food products. And so on and so forth.

The self-sufficient farm shows that the city can produce more of its own food sustainably.
