Biodigester at the ArenA

The innovative biodigester, installed within the Johan Cruijff ArenA's facility, supports local businesses in Amsterdam Zuidoost to create value from their own food waste. Non-consumable food waste is transformed into local green energy and natural fertilizer. Besides the food waste from the Johan Cruijff ArenA, food waste from other local businesses is collected by people with a distance to the labour market and brought to this local biodigester. The project starts with collecting food waste from the Johan Cruijff ArenA and the offices of ING bank in Amsterdam Zuidoost.
