Rik Logtens
Co-Founder
Eric (Rik) Logtens builds thriving, impactful businesses like birds build their nests.
Just like the birds know exactly what twigs to select, and how to position these twigs to construct a genius architectural structure to nurture and safeguard their offspring, Eric understands that talent and resources are precious. In his view, each material, technology or methodology serves a specific function or role in time and place, and he is in business to interlink positive social, ecological and environmental impact with thriving operations. Among the very first to apply the principles of Cradle2Cradle and conceptualise the Circular Economy, over the past 15 years, Rik has focused on:
-
conceptualization and commercialization of sustainable materials, products and services
-
advocating and inspiring students, business professionals, and policymakers to make the right decisions instead of the less bad ones
-
building companies from zero to scale
-
developing and implementing strategies and structures for multinationals, governments and universities on sustainability and circular economic principles.
