Vision

Most people view waste as an unwelcome by-product. At Van Gansewinkel Groep, we have a different outlook. Today’s waste contains the seeds for tomorrow’s products and goods. We even make something beautiful out of it. We say, Waste no more.
Van Gansewinkel Groep works to find the most sustainable solution for its waste and gives as much waste as possible a second life in the form of raw materials. It can be given that second life because of our thorough understanding of raw materials, other materials and logistics processes. The waste that remains is used as fuel in our energy-from-waste plants, allowing us to supply (sustainable) electricity and heat to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses.
As a leading waste service provider and supplier of raw materials and energy, it is Van Gansewinkel Groep’s intention to continue making good on its mantra of Waste no more, by optimising its operations in its home market (the Benelux), by strengthening its position in Europe and by redefining the industry. Van Gansewinkel Groep believes that sustainable recycling of materials is the future. The waste market is evolving, and it is our intention to make a proactive contribution.
