   From the Municipality of Eindhoven

Plastic, Canned and Drinking Cartons (PBD) can simply be placed in the residual container from January 2024
Important update regarding PBD waste (Plastic, Blik: Tin cans & Drinkcartons): Do not place PBD waste at the old collection points anymore. From now on, this will be part of the residual waste.  Why? Because separating the PBD waste after collection is 3 times more effective. Last year we collected 1,576 tons through source separation, but with separation after collection we can potentially recover 5,250 tons of PBD. That means more reuse of materials, less residual waste. Simple, efficient, better for all of us. Read more

   Research about Expats

Research for Opera Zuid on expats' outreach and needs for theatre/opera performances.
Opera Zuid is the Opera house company of Parktheater Eindhoven. Every year, Opera Zuid produces two opera performances in Eindhoven, with a prominent role for the Parktheater, always rounded off with a national premiere. To make expats in the Eindhoven region a contemporary development for Opera Zuid, they want to explore the needs and interests of expats. Take survey

The regional broadcaster ‘Omroep Brabant’ and the independent research agency ‘Newcom Research & Consultancy’ are conducting a study among expats in Noord-Brabant to gain insight into how connected expats feel to the region in which they work and live. With the insights gained from this study, Omroep Brabant will be able to better tailor their policy to the needs and wishes of a target group such as expats. Filling out the questionnaire takes 5 minutes.
