Joost de Kluijver
Director - Circular Services, Closing the Loop
As the founder and CEO of Amsterdam based social enterprise ‘Closing the Loop‘ (CTL), Joost de Kluijver has developed a service that delivers on the growing demand for simple but effective sustainable purchasing, for phones.
The basis of CTL’s commercial service is a concept referred to as “One-for-One”: an award-winning and widely adopted circular procurement service. Joost will explain why small, large, public and private organisations are using CTL’s ‘material-neutrality’ service to get started on making their purchasing greener.

Joost has also worked at Accenture, GRI and is a seasoned entrepreneur.
