WHEN

2019 –

WHAT

Through an Urban Partnerships workshop, BLOXHUB helped the circular construction start-up Næste to create strong partnerships and a sustainable business model.

THE PRODUCT

Næste is a shed for bicycles or garbage sorting made from upcycled materials. Compared to conventional sheds, Næste saves 3-18 tons of CO2 per shed.

THE STORY

The Danish start-up company Næste is a great example of how partnerships can drive green innovations:

After a thorough matchmaking & development process in BLOXHUB, Næste participated in – and won – Realdania’s Circular Construction Challenge. Together, this led to new strong partnerships, a sustainable business model and not least: first customers.

The first prototype was built in 2019 and today, the Næste skur is to be found by public schools and rental apartments and orders are ticking in.

Quote:
“BLOXHUB and Realdania made it possible for us to create a strong and perhaps unusual collaboration across the building industry witch, among other things, made it possible to create a sustainable business model”, Niels Jakubiak Andersen, Founding Partner, Næste.
