As a guide to sustainable transition, Natura Mater's mission is to accelerate the ecological transition of the construction sector by reducing the environmental impact of a building right to the heart of the project, i.e. in the choice of its materials. To achieve this, Natura Mater has developed cutting-edge expertise, particularly in bio-based, geo-based and circular building materials, which we share with both architects and builders. Our added value lies in a transversal approach at the centre of the ecosystem that supports the work of the architect, while taking into account the real constraints of the building site. This allows us to deliver a construction process that is as smooth as possible while improving the environmental posture of the projects.

Stalem asbl is an association of merchants active in the Midi-Lemonnier neighborhood. Since March 2020, it acts on one of the main issues of the area: cleanliness. In fact, it has launched a pilot project for the pooling and recycling of waste, together with a training for the merchants’ partners. The Midi-Lemonnier neighborhood is particularly affected by the large amount of waste generated by the local businesses. This is mainly due to the waste accumulated in the streets, waiting to get picked up, while creating nuisances for passers-by and residents. In addition to the improvement of the cleanliness of the district, the project responds to logistic and environmental challenges. Moreover, it reduces the costs of waste collection for the merchants. In a year, 23% of the waste has been locally "valued", and 50% has been sorted out. The main objective pursued is to reduce general waste as much as possible by improving the sorting of merchants at the threshold of their store, while reducing, reusing and recycling their waste as much as possible.
