Dutch policy in waste management always has focussed on avoiding to produce waste, as it represents a cost when having to have it collected and disposed of; and to recover valuable raw materials from any waste, as it represents a substantial income. After having implemented these, also much so business driven, principles any residual waste is dealt with by using its caloric value to generate electricity and produce heat. Hereby the Netherlands has been successful in reducing controlled land filling to close to zero. Apart from the fact that this is the most sustainable thing to do, the Dutch are obviously encouraged as land in the Netherlands is scarce and therefore represents, again a value!

an feasible. Of course the rules of such business require a well established institutional framework, consisting of Legislation, adequate Control and effective Enforcement.

More efficient processes and improved, advanced cleaner production are making sustainable development work in practice and it creates a strong incentive for developing Dutch innovative strength. Taking advantage of green-field expansion of industry we focus on clustering industry in such a way that the output from one process forms the input of the adjacent facility. Herewith prevention of waste is optimized, without a need to transport and as such creating cost reduction opportunities for industrial investors in the Netherlands.

Global business opportunities is what we pursue, by making more available detailed and valuable information gained from decades of Dutch Experiences in dealing efficiently with waste. The successful merge of both waste policy and professional waste management, reflected by the constructive co-operation between National, Regional- and Municipal governments and the Dutch Waste Management Industry, incorporating calls from NGO’s addressing environmental concerns, is what we are proud of in the Netherlands to display to the rest of the world. By involving, in addition, Dutch institutes of knowledge, governmental agencies and other stakeholder-organisations the Netherlands has established an effective partnership in Waste Management from which we are keen to making even more global business, developing business with you resulting in Clean Air, Vital Soil and Pure Water, and therewith creating a sustainable future for us all!
