Waste Lab Bizkaia
Public-private collaboration model for innovation
Diputación Foral de Bizkaia
WLB is an integral and pioneering solution to waste management, proposing an innovative service model that redefines the lifecycle of waste as a creative raw material. The design solves the fragmentation between waste generators, industry, academia, and the creative sector, creating a physical and digital hub for experimentation and high-value project development. The tangible user benefit includes access to a professional network, materials, technical equipment, and specialized knowledge. It has a unique governance model, resulting from the synergy between a public administration, an environmental business cluster, and a design association.
