On Wednesday afternoon, April 1, 2026, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands opened the UPPACT recycling factory at Chemport Innovation Center in Farmsum.

The factory serves as a demonstration and validation site for a circular production concept.

The UPPACT DEMO factory is a Dutch circular scale-up focused on processing hard-to-recycle mixed plastic and textile waste streams. Using an Australian mixer-melter technology, these waste streams can be mechanically transformed into sustainable and recyclable construction materials, suitable for applications including public spaces and infrastructure.

    Ze lijkt op koningin Wilhelmina met zo'n gedateerde hoed.

  2. I love the gorgeous burgundy colour of this outfit. The style of the dress is beautiful especially the elegant sleeves, the flared skirt and the neckline. The upturned hat compliments the dress and allows people to see Maxima's lovely face.

    Great look for Maxima. I must say she is born for this role of Queen. She always has a smile for the public.


    Happy Easter everyone.

    Oh, waar is toch de echte Maxima gebleven, deze standaard saaie jurken passen helemaal niet bij haar en de malle hoed mag ook weg.
