Plastic Whale Circular Furniture is high-end office furniture made from Amsterdam Canal Plastic, plastic that we have fished from the canals of Amsterdam, together with thousands of people. The furniture was designed by LAMA Concept and is produced by Vepa.

Plastic Whale is the first professional plastic fishing company in the world. Together with thousands of people we collect tons of plastic waste fromthe canals of Amsterdam and the harbour of Rotterdam. This plastic waste we turn into eonomic value; we use the waste to build boats and high-end design office furniture.

WasteBoards bakes unique skateboards from plastic bottle caps. In 2018 we aim to have 5 WasteBoards Bakeries in different parts of the world. This way we can stimulate the local economy and attack the plastic pollution locally.

Binnen deze functie was ik verantwoordelijk voor de ontwikkeling van een nieuw team binnen de commerciële afdeling van TMG. Ik gaf leiding aan 7 Corporate Client Managers die zich richtten op de 40 belangrijkste klanten van TMG. De Corporate Client aanpak was gericht op het vinden van de juiste antwoorden van marketingstrategische vraagstukken bij de klant. Deze (voor uitgevers) vernieuwende manier van werken was onderdeel van de strategie van dhr. Van Campenhout, destijds CEO van TMG. Na zijn vertrek is er helaas ook een streep door de Corporate Client aanpak gezet, ondanks de enthousiaste bevindingen van de grootste klanten van TMG.
