| kunststofverwerkende industrie | synthetic materials industry | |
| kunstvezel | synthetic textile fibre | |
| kunstvezel | synthetic textile fibre (An artificially produced filament or threadlike strand used by manufacturers to produce clothes or other goods that require weaving, knitting or felting, including polyester, nylon, rayon and other similar material) | |
| kunstvezelindustrie | synthetic fibres industry (No definition needed) | |
| kunstvezelindustrie | synthetic fibres industry | |
| kurk | cork (The thick light porous outer bark of the cork oak, used widely as an insulator and for stoppers for bottles, casks, etc.) | |
| kust | coast (A line or zone where the land meets the sea or some other large expanse of water) | |

| kuststrook | seashore | |
| kuststrook | sea shore | |
| kustbeheer | coastal management | |
| kustbeheer | coastal management (Measures by way of planning, prior approval of works, prohibition of some activities, physical structures, and restoration efforts to protect the coastline against the ravages of nature and haphazard and unplanned developments) | |
| kustbescherming | coast protection | |
| kustbescherming | coast protection (A form of environmental management designed to allay the progressive degradation of the land by coastal erosion processes. Sea defence works can be undertaken to protect the land from erosion and encroachment by the sea and against flooding. These involve engineering solutions such as groynes, sea walls, bulkheads, revetments and breakwaters) | |
| kustecosysteem | coastal ecosystem | |
| kustecosysteem | coastal ecosystem (Marine environments bounded by the coastal land margin (seashore) and the continental shelf 100-200 m below sea level. Ecologically, the coastal and nearshore zones grade from shallow water depths, influenced by the adjacent landmass and input from coastal rivers and estuaries, to the continental shelf break, where oceanic processes predominate. Among the unique marine ecosystems associated with coastal and nearshore waterbodies are seaweed-dominated communities, coral reefs and upwellings) | |
| kusterosie | coastal erosion (The gradual wearing away of material from a coast by the action of sea water) |
