water recycling for washing processes
Water Recycling Systems: Circular and Future-Proof Since 1989, Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu has been developing innovative solutions for wastewater treatment. With extensive experience in bulk storage, scrapyards, and industrial sites, we understand that water is not just a waste stream—it is a valuable resource. Our water recycling systems put this vision into practice. A key application is recycling water in washing processes. In facilities where vehicles, containers, or industrial components are cleaned, large volumes of polluted water are generated, often containing oil, grease, and solids. Our systems treat this water so it can be reused directly in the washing process. This drastically reduces freshwater consumption, lowers discharge volumes, and significantly decreases environmental impact. The strength of our approach lies in source separation. By removing contaminants physically first, we minimize chemical use and avoid unnecessary sludge production. Chemicals are only applied when absolutely necessary. The result is a robust, low-maintenance, and sustainable system that saves costs while meeting the strictest environmental standards. Our water recycling systems are modular: efficient in the basic configuration and easily expandable or adaptable as washing processes change or discharge requirements become stricter. With over 30 years of experience and a proven phased approach, we deliver solutions that provide immediate results and remain relevant for the future. Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu demonstrates that smart engineering and sustainable vision go hand in hand—benefiting both businesses and the environment.

Innovation in Wastewater Technology: In 1989, Afvalwatertechniek took its first steps into a challenging market: bulk storage and scrapyards. Projects with companies such as Maja, EP Shipping, Jewo Metaal, and the Gerrits Group became pioneering cases in which we laid the foundation for our phased approach to large-scale and complex water challenges. These sites face enormous volumes of rainwater and contamination every day. Our challenge was clear: how do you purify that water sustainably, future-proof, and cost-effectively? Our solution lies in flexible systems that grow with the client. We design installations that operate efficiently today and can be easily adapted tomorrow when discharge regulations become stricter. In this way, companies avoid high upfront investments while saving on operating costs in the long run. The innovation lies in the approach. Where traditional techniques often resort immediately to chemical treatment, we take a different path: separation based on physical properties first. Only when absolutely necessary do we add chemicals. This significantly reduces sludge production, lowers environmental impact, and keeps the installation straightforward and robust. Water reuse is the first step. With every liter we can recover, we reduce pressure on the environment and water resources. Our technology is built on effectiveness and responsibility: as little chemistry as possible, as much reuse as possible, and always prepared for stricter requirements in the future. The results? Reduced sludge production and lower costs Improved discharge performance Flexible systems that adapt to legislation A measurable reduction in environmental impact For thirty-five years, Afvalwatertechniek has proven that innovation is not only about new technologies. With our approach, we set a new standard in water treatment—practical, affordable, and with maximum impact on both the environment and society.

Gray water and rain water systems
Rainwater Harvesting and Reuse: Sustainable and Future-Proof Since 1995, Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu has been taking innovative steps in the management and reuse of water streams. As water becomes increasingly scarce and valuable, we view rainwater not as a problem, but as a valuable resource. With our rainwater harvesting and reuse systems, we make it possible for companies to use water in a circular and sustainable way. Our solutions efficiently capture rainwater, store it safely, and treat it so that it can be reused directly in processes such as cleaning, rinsing, or cooling. By intelligently combining rainwater with the reuse of lightly polluted wastewater, companies can significantly reduce freshwater consumption while easing the burden on sewer systems and the environment. The strength of our systems lies in flexibility and sustainability. Our installations are modular and future-proof: easy to expand or adapt as operations change or environmental regulations become stricter. By removing physical contaminants first and applying chemical treatment only when strictly necessary, we minimize sludge production and reduce environmental impact. With over 30 years of experience, Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu delivers solutions that provide immediate results and remain relevant in the future. Our rainwater and reuse systems demonstrate that water management can be both practical and cost-effective, while making a significant contribution to a circular and sustainable future. Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu shows that smart engineering and environmental responsibility go hand in hand—for businesses and for the planet.

Biological waste water treatment
Biological Wastewater Treatment and IBA Systems: Sustainable and Efficient Since 1995, Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu has been developing innovative solutions for wastewater treatment. A key part of our work involves biological wastewater treatment plants and IBA systems (Individual Wastewater Treatment). These systems combine technical robustness with environmentally friendly purification, designed for both industrial sites and small-scale applications. Our biological treatment plants use natural processes to break down organic contaminants. By optimizing bacteria and microorganisms, we clean water efficiently without unnecessary chemical use. This reduces sludge production, lowers operating costs, and minimizes environmental impact. IBA systems are modular and flexible, providing tailored solutions for locations where connection to municipal sewage is not possible or where discharge standards are strict. With our extensive experience, we deliver systems that are easily expandable, future-proof, and reliable in continuous operation. Our approach combines quality, innovation, and sustainability. By first removing physical contaminants and applying chemical treatment only when necessary, we achieve efficient and environmentally responsible water treatment. This makes our systems suitable for a wide range of sectors, from industrial to agricultural and small residential applications. With over 30 years of experience, Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu provides wastewater treatment solutions that are effective today and continue to meet stricter environmental standards tomorrow. Our biological treatment plants and IBA systems demonstrate that sustainability, reliability, and innovation can go hand in hand.

Waste water treatment for waste recycling companies
Buffer Solutions: Crucial for a Phased Approach to Wastewater Since 1989, Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu has been developing innovative and sustainable solutions for wastewater treatment. In the recycling industry, where large volumes of rainwater, process water, and contaminants converge, buffer solutions play a crucial role. Buffer tanks and basins allow water flows to be safely stored and temporarily held. This creates the opportunity to treat wastewater in a phased approach, in line with our modular and future-proof strategy. By regulating the flow, treatment steps such as physical separation, oil and grease separation, or biological purification can be optimally performed. This prevents system overload and ensures consistent water quality, even during peak loads or heavy rainfall. The advantages of this phased approach are twofold. First, it prevents unnecessary investments in systems that are only sporadically used at full capacity. Second, it reduces operating costs by ensuring that treatment occurs efficiently and under control. Buffer solutions thus form the backbone of a wastewater system that can grow with changing discharge regulations and business processes. Moreover, buffer solutions contribute to sustainability. By temporarily storing water streams, a portion can be reused within production or cleaning processes. This reduces freshwater consumption, lowers discharge volumes, and decreases environmental impact. With over 30 years of experience, Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu demonstrates that a well-designed combination of buffer solutions and phased treatment is reliable, efficient, and future-proof. For the recycling industry, this means cleaner water, lower costs, and a circular approach ready for the future.

Plastic removal from waste water
Innovation in Plastic Removal: Laser Technology for Cleaner Water in the Future Since 1989, Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu has been at the forefront of innovative and sustainable wastewater solutions. One of today’s most pressing challenges is the removal of micro- and macroplastics from water streams. Plastic in wastewater not only impacts the environment but can also contaminate reused water and overload sewer systems. We are currently exploring a promising technology: the use of laser light to denature plastic particles in wastewater. By applying targeted light, the molecular properties of the particles can be altered, making physical separation easier. This technology is still in its infancy. While results are promising, they remain uncertain and require further research before large-scale application. What makes this technology commercially interesting is its potential to remove microplastics more efficiently, with minimal chemical use and lower environmental impact. Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu actively collaborates with partners to make such innovations possible. We provide expertise, experience, and practical knowledge in water treatment, enabling promising concepts to be tested and developed safely and effectively. Our approach remains phased and modular: emerging technologies like laser light can be integrated into existing systems, combined with proven methods such as physical separation, buffer solutions, and biological treatment. This creates a future-proof platform for circular water management. Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu demonstrates that innovation goes beyond current standards. We help partners bring groundbreaking ideas to life, making water streams cleaner, safer, and reusable—today and in the future.
