About Metabolic & The Metabolic Lab:
'living laboratory' at Clean Tech Playground De Ceuvel
Metabolic itself is a consulting and venture building company that uses systems thinking to tackle major sustainability challenges. Headquartered in Amsterdam but working internationally, it provides strategies and tools, crunches data, creates new technologies, builds pilots and scales up innovations. Metabolic Lab was built and designed by Metabolic, but is run by De Ceuvel, though the consultants of Metabolic use the space almost daily for meetings or work sessions when the space is not in use for events.
The facility showcases how clean technology, food production, and nutrient recovery systems can be integrated into urban environments. At Metabolic Lab, people of all ages and backgrounds, from children to scientists, can learn about applied sustainability and how they can make an impact in their own communities and organizations.
Sitting on top of Metabolic Lab, the greenhouse grows food for the neighbouring Café de Ceuvel. The greenhouse houses a customized DIY aquaponic system and utilizes organic waste flows generated on-site. The site also collects organic waste from Metabolic Lab and the café in a vermicomposting unit to produce compost and fish food. The feces of the fish serve as food for the plants, which in turn serve as food for humans. This way the aquaponic system creates a closed-loop food cycle.
