"The proliferation of warehouses is a hot topic we shouldn't avoid. But that doesn't mean we have to accept the status quo."
Develop "destinations" that go beyond logistics needs
Damnation is a hot topic that we should not avoid, says Patrick Maes. The main question is: how can our industry contribute positively to the environment? After he purchased a property in Utrecht with his company, they captured rainwater in retention crates and then used it for sprinkler systems. That's how they solved a flooding problem for an entire residential neighborhood. This is how you develop “Destinations” that go beyond filling logistical needs.
