 +===== Role of company/​organisation=====
 +Brand-Rex with over more then 40 years experience in manufacturing and from 2009 experienced in sustainable manufacturing and product development has build up some track records. There are already customers who used our expertise to make their own buildings more sustainable. We are convinced that Brand-Rex can have a positive contribution to the goals of Gemeente Eindhoven
 +
 +===== Opportunities for collaboration=====
 +First we have lots of solutions who have real a impact on the carbon Footprint of a building. If it is not from les material usage perspective then it could be contributing to using less space I the infrastructure what is a saving on cable spaces what is not only a sustainable but also financial benefit. Secondly we could set our experience in to practise and give a second opinion of the physical design of the infrastructure. Our experience is that is always beneficial. third we are busy to convince the Breeam (DGBC) that cabling infrastructure has a impact on the carbon footprint of a building and therefore deserves a place in there auditing and should be awarded if chosen more carbon friendly.

 +Using our solution will set the carbon footprint off the cabling infrastructure to 0 as Brand-Rex is a CO2 neutral data cable manufacturer. Further more we can discuss a role for Brand-Rex to recycle the old cabling infrastructure where we had a 95% recycle value off the last project done. With the right focus on the design choices can be made on the lowest impact e.g. carbon footprint fitting the needs of the gemeente Eindhoven. It would be really a great win if the project team considers to mention that any supplier must have his carbon foortpint available for the organisation and the products needed in the project. This should then also be taken in consideration as one of the weight values in the tender.
 +^  Type of idea|combination of product and service|
 +^  Category of idea|technical;​ design; work flow; financial|
 +^  Enabling conditions|Most idea's can be fulfilled by our self's and proven by our test facility'​s in the UK. For other parts we need the end-user and possible a installer or waste management company to assist.|

 +
 +Proven innovation: it has been used in practice on a small scale.

 +
 +===== Provability contribution to sustainability=====
 +
 +Proven contribution to sustainability;​ this has been shown in practice.
 +
 +===== Step in the right direction=====
 +
 +A basic answer is that we have proven this in several projects where sustainability is Key. Brand-Rex is able to show carbon footprint and proof of his carbon neutrality and even also for the project if needed.
 +
 +===== Flexible idea=====
 +
 +We can supply addition information backing up that this is not a irreversible impact.
 +
 +===== Good investment=====
 +
 +Our solutions are not based on using less energy for the end user what should give a return off investment. Altough we have a solution what optimises air flow in Data Centres what at the end have a positive impact on the energy usages. Whar could be a business case possible to calculate if we have more information available. Our solution most be more seen on less impact on the nature and environment.
 +
 +===== Comments=====
 +
 +We are looking forward on a reply on the findings for our proposal.
