SOCIETY
WATER - WASTE - ENERGY
Goal
In 2042 The Urban Tricycle Platform Eindhoven is not only a net
producer of energy, but also of food and bio-based products. There
is no fixed limit for the project, progression will be cherished and
continuous! The Urban Tricycle Platform Eindhoven is the motor
that drives the innovations required to reach the ultimate goal.
Background
Currently, buildings generate waste streams, also known as sewage, food waste, diverse solid waste fractions and GHG emission.
The materials contained in these streams are still mostly wasted.
Many people now realize that we can no longer afford this in a world
increasingly faced with shortages of clean water, nutrients, food
and fossil fuels. We are urged to look at these streams in a different
way, to see them as inter-linked resource streams.
Idea
The Urban Tricycle Platform Eindhoven will combine these streams
of WATER - WASTE - ENERGY to harvest as much resources as
possible. This Urban Tricycle Platform feeds the urban environment
with water, energy, nutrients, et cetera and in the end SMART grids
will help us to give the usable resources back to the SOCIETY. The
holistic approach of water - waste - energy creates new
possibilities for cycles and for cost effective solutions.

Future proof
infrastructure
In 7 years new buildings
need to be Energy Neutral
by default. By including
heat as a resource for
other purposes this is
incorporated in the infrastructure investment and
design.
Holistic infrastructure enables
future innovation. Holistic
infrastructure approach allows
for smart future proofing of
infrastructure for negligible up
front investments. This is key
in enabling future innovation. as current demands are
answered in such a manner
that future innovations are
enhanced, not blocked. We
can use the philosophy from
data centres future proofing
process (DEERNS), for the
holistic perspective on the
infrastructure, hinting at the
applicability for the building
level. Use the infrastructure
concrete duct as an example
where the holistic approach
provides low cost flexibility
(MWH).
Plants are grown with
fertilizers from decentrally recycled black
water and CO2 from the
offices, plants producing
electricity
Composting waste streams,
harvesting from waste water
and avoiding food spillage
enables urban farming,
supports traditional farming
and greatly reduces
phosphate discharge
into the environment and
lessens vulnerability due
to world-wide phosphate
depletion.

Wastewater
does not exist.
But nutrients do.
Through a combination
of existing and innovative
technologies, energy and
nutrients present in waste
water and organic waste
are harvested completely
and used for sustainable
local purposes. Water
and waste production
reduced with 95%.the
buildings.
Excess heat is transported to residential areas
through innovative use
of existing infrastructure,
reducing residential gas
usage with 10% without
requiring modifications of
the residential buildings
Building Scale
Excess heat for STP

Energy Producing
Offices.
Offices become Energy
Producing for large parts
of the year, through the
application of innovative
(e.g. green lungs, solar
powered ventilation) and
existing technologies (e.g.
ATES, PVs).
Excess heat reducing
residential gas usage
Buildings in
SMART grid
From 2020, many buildings will start producing
energy in different forms.
Urban infrastructure
should effectively
integrate this in

Building scale vision
The Urban Tricycle platform is in the end based on the urban scale.
But it has to start with a smaller scale on building level. Therefore we
need an extreme improvement of all the buildings using the method of
“natural step” complemented with our own method:
• Respect soil resources
• Don’t use harmful chemicals
• Respect nature
• Attention for the inhabitants
We will use three extra steps to reach our goal on building scale
• Reduce as much energy use as possible
• Find synergy between all external influences, the use and design
of the building
• Make waste products usable
Living lab
We will use known concepts, new concepts and new combinations
of known concepts to improve all buildings. We see lots of chances
implementing this in the ‘living lab” Eindhoven can be the upcoming
years.

Developing sustainable sanitation
In this project, MWH is involved as the advisor of the municipality Steenwijkerland. Due to the
increasing need of maintenance, the 12 kilometer sewer of the municipality Steenwijkerland must
be replaced. The municipality started an inventory together with the residents of Blankenham, the
LTO (agriculture organization), the waterborad and Stowa for cheaper and smarter possible
solutions for the collection and treatment of the local wastewater.

Value from food spillage
MWH has performed a study on high grade
use of food waste in the catering sector and
supermarkets. In this study an estimate
was made of the yearly quantities of food

Netherlands and in which sub-streams food
waste need to be separated to make high
grade use possible.

The objective of this study was to map the garden and food waste arisings for each local authority area
in Scotland, in order to assist in the development of a strategic plan for recycling infrastructure. This
mapping was based on the use of existing data and information sources in combination with survey data
obtained from local authorities and organics treatment facilities operators to prepare a picture of
