Internships
Interning at New Circle
Learn how circular construction works in practice
New Circle is recognised by SBB, the Dutch foundation for cooperation between vocational education and the labour market, as an accredited work-based learning company. Students can do an internship with us and work on real projects, from the market launch of our biobased adhesive to the online visibility of the Roof Edge System. You see at first hand how a circular construction economy works in practice.
Interns are supervised by colleagues who work in the field every day. You collaborate with different disciplines and have the freedom to develop in the areas you want to learn more about.
Opportunities
Types of internship
In our team portraits, interns describe what they are working on. Internships at New Circle cover areas such as:

Design
From banners and documents to the design of new packaging for our biobased adhesive.
Research and strategy
For example, benchmarking our visibility among wholesalers or writing a business plan that we can put straight into practice.
Product development
Helping to develop our biobased adhesive and the corner profile, right down to the technical drawings.
Education
Working with education
We are keen to share our knowledge with the next generation. That is why we work with institutions in Dutch secondary vocational (MBO) and higher professional (HBO) education:
- Talland College in Heerhugowaard: our SBB accreditation marked the start of our collaboration with MBO education.
- Avans Hogeschool in Breda: lecturers and graduating students contribute to our JTF project for a demountable biobased adhesive, including peel tests in the Avans laboratory.
- NHL Stenden Hogeschool: students on the Future Ready Business programme researched how to bring our biobased adhesive to market.
- Inholland is one of our partners.

Frequently asked questions
New Circle has locations in Standdaarbuiten, Enkhuizen and Heemskerk. We also work with various partners in the Netherlands and abroad.

Roofs play a crucial role in sustainable construction. They have to withstand extreme weather conditions and last a long time. However, traditional roofing materials are often difficult to reuse. Our innovations, such as biobased and demountable adhesives, make circular construction on roofs possible.
We combine expertise in biobased materials, building materials and reuse. This enables us to develop truly circular products that are not only sustainable, but also meet market and regulatory requirements.
New Circle is a partnership between Natural Plastics, EBS (European Building Supply) and Luijtgaarden. We develop circular and biobased solutions for the construction sector, with a focus on applications on and around the roof.
