Municipalities and Government Institutions

The National Environmental Vision (NOVI) is a vision for the environmental policy of the Netherlands. It is a long-term vision that sets the course for the physical living environment in the Netherlands in the coming decades. The NOVI focuses on integrating various policy areas, such as housing, work, mobility, energy, nature and climate, in order to create a sustainable and liveable environment.

The NOVI was drawn up by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management in collaboration with other ministries, provinces, municipalities and social organisations. It is intended as a guideline for decisions in the field of spatial planning and provides direction for the development of the physical living environment in the Netherlands.

The NOVI consists of a strategic vision and an implementation agenda. The strategic vision describes the future developments in the field of the physical living environment in the Netherlands and the challenges that come with it. The implementation agenda provides concrete actions and measures to realise this vision through integral collaboration between the government, municipalities and specialist and innovative companies.

Do you know what needs to be done within your municipality or would you like to exchange ideas about this? NanoEnzo is happy to contribute to helping you achieve your objectives as a government institution. We can also help reduce your Environmental Cost Indicator (ECI)! We can achieve all this by providing applied materials with invisible and safe nano coating to extend the lifespan of the applied materials and to preventively protect them against negative external influences, which will also significantly reduce cleaning and maintenance.

Concrete, bricks, paving stones, metal, wood, glass, plastic. All materials that are used in buildings, public spaces or your projects within the municipalities. Materials that will last for years longer when they are provided with a nano coating, with the positive side effect that the demand for new and scarce raw materials decreases and the production of new building materials is postponed for many years. The result; sparing the earth, cost savings and an enormous CO2 reduction!

A good example is the project in Amsterdam-Noord where the paving stones of a square of 8,000 m2 were lifted from the ground, cleaned, replaced and coated for life extension, better drainage and dirt repellency.

Compared to replacing the paving stones, this saved no less than 130 tons of CO2 emissions!

Several public spaces and playground equipment in Amsterdam have now been provided with our coating and we are setting up the first projects of surrounding municipalities. Perhaps also worth considering for you, your project or (public space or real estate of) your municipality.

The application of nano coatings can therefore contribute to a better quality of the living environment by protecting the materials against negative external influences for a long time, reducing CO2 emissions, and reducing maintenance and cleaning. Safe and environmentally friendly, because all our coatings are certified (including TÜV and REACH-Compliant).

Just a few more advantages:

Preventive protection and strong sustainability of applied materials in public spaces and buildings (paving stones, natural stone, stone, concrete, glass, metal, wood, plastics and more)
Reduce the demand for new (scarce) raw materials with our preventive sustainability
Preventive protection of (cultural) heritage, for its preservation for future generations
Makes circular paving possible (cleaning and coating paving stones and curbs for reuse), for a strong reduction in raw material and CO2
Cost and CO2 reduction through less cleaning and maintenance
Coating applied materials keeps the item aesthetically beautiful for longer
The use of bio-cleaning agents and environmentally friendly (nano) coatings on a water basis help to protect the environment
All our coatings are safe and firmly certified (including TÜV and REACH-Compliant)
