End-Of-Waste Certificaten
- 6-2-2023
De Nederlandse economie moet in 2050 volledig circulair zijn. Om dat doel te bereiken moet al bij het ontwerp van nieuwe producten rekening worden gehouden met hergebruik. Ook moet ervoor worden gezorgd dat bestaande producten aan het eind van hun lifecycle zoveel mogelijk kunnen worden gerecycled. Hierbij speelt de recyclingbranche een cruciale rol.
Bij het sluiten van materiaalkringlopen is het essentieel dat afvalstromen die daarvoor geschikt zijn weer opnieuw gebruikt kunnen worden. Een materiaal dat eenmaal ‘afval’ is, kan echter niet zomaar als secundaire grondstof worden ingezet. Om tot hoogwaardige inzet van deze grondstoffen te komen zijn afspraken vereist over onder andere de ‘End-Of-Waste’ (‘Einde Afval’ ) status van materialen en producten, maar ook over de kwaliteitseisen die aan secundaire grondstoffen gesteld moeten voor een veilige en gezonde toepassing.
Dankzij onze geavanceerde verwerkings- en scheidingstechnieken heeft Riwald Recycling haar End-of-Waste certificaten behaald met de criteria uit de Europese Verordening 333/2011 en 715/2013. Met deze certificaten toont Riwald Recycling aan dat zij afvalstoffen van ijzer, staal, aluminium en koperschroot kunnen bewerken tot zuivere grondstof, welke direct kunnen worden ingezet bij het productieproces van nieuwe metalen. Deze stap bevordert onze positie in duurzaamheid en circulariteit.

Co₂-Performance ladder level 5
- 18-11-2022
Riwald Recycling is at the top of the CO₂ performance ladder.
Working sustainably is not just a buzzword for us, but also daily practice. We take CO2 reduction seriously and want to make a contribution. We do this by working on targets that will reduce our CO2 emissions every year. We reduce our CO2 emissions by implementing various energy-saving measures in the office and at our high-tech complex. We measure our performance with the CO₂-Performanceladder.
Recycling of metals partially avoids the production of metals from primary raw materials (ores). This leads to savings in CO₂ emissions compared to production of primary metals. It therefore makes sense in the context of climate policy to ensure that metal is recycled, as this avoids production of metals from primary raw materials.
Last month, we received the CO₂-Performanceladder certificate for both our offices, Almelo and Beverwijk. The CO₂-Performanceladder is a management system of the SKAO (Foundation for Climate Friendly Procurement and Business) and was created to encourage companies to be more carbon conscious. The CO₂-Performanceladder is the sustainability instrument in the Netherlands that helps companies and governments to reduce CO2 and costs, in their business operations, in projects and in the chain.

National Recycle Week
- 14-10-2022
Since 2 June 2022, there has been a collaboration between Riwald Recycling, Slim Opgewekt and Aveleijn. A pilot project has been launched for the collection and recycling of E-waste. E-waste is all waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). This educational project combines awareness about circularity with a physical collection campaign by Aveleijn, with Riwald Recycling recycling these products into renewable raw materials.
What is collected? At day care centre De Roos in Goor, there is a container where local residents can hand in their e-waste including mobile phones, coffee machines, audio and video equipment, ovens, microwaves and fans. The proceeds from the container are for day care centre De Roos.
On Thursday 13 October, Ömer Avci visited Aveleijn in Goor on behalf of Riwald Recycling. Among other things, the recycling process of a washing machine was explained to the clients.

Once again, the Netherlands is extremely dry
- 15-9-2022
Once again it is extremely dry in the Netherlands. We also notice the impact of this at Riwald.
"Normally we do a lot more via barges, at the moment we really have to go to trucks because the water level is too low," said Ewald Huzink, director of Riwald Recycling.

WEEELABEX (CENELEC) Certificate type 1,2 en 3
- 29-08-2022
Led by Bart van Kessel, a successful WEEELABEX audit was conducted resulting in Riwald being a Type 3 processor in addition to Type 1 and 2!
The procedure for treating and handling e-waste is defined by the WEEELABEX quality standard (CENELEC standards). An organisation can obtain WEEELABEX certification when it can demonstrate compliance with specific requirements when treating and processing e-waste. Certification is via a comprehensive audit and a batch test.
Three types of processors are currently certifiable through WEEELABEX Organisation: Type 1️⃣ Manual processing and depollution
Type 2️⃣ Mechanical processing and depollution
Type 3️⃣ Advanced and specialised machine processing and depollution
Riwald Recycling is the only one in the Netherlands to hold a WEEELABEX CENELEC Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 certificate for Large White Goods (LHA) and Small Domestic Electrical and ICT Equipment (SHA).

Riwald Recycling and the Week of Circular Economy
- 12-02-2022
In Overijssel many great things are already happening in the field of circularity! In cooperation with the Province of Overijssel, we are happy to pay attention to circularity during the Week of the Circular Economy.
Raw materials are finite and for this reason we must use them sparingly. The Dutch government has set the goal: Netherlands fully circular by 2050, an economy without waste, where everything runs on reusable raw materials.
As a leading metal recycling company, Riwald Recycling plays a pivotal role as a supplier in the circular chain of sustainable material use. ''We contribute to the creation of a circular economy and thus to the achievement of the government's objectives, especially with the prospect of increasing demand for raw materials, virgin materials are becoming increasingly scarce, said Gert Huzink.''

Riwald Recycling experts in firefighting
- 19-3-2021
Riwald Recycling has been using the PYROsmart system since 2020. The PYROsmart system is an infrared system which can detect fire at an early stage. Where many other systems assume flames or extreme temperatures, the PYROsmart can detect a starting fire. Furthermore, the software works so well that it can effortlessly detect the difference between a fire and the hot parts of a transfer crane, e.g. the engine, exhaust or brakes. The software analyses the heat sources which are warmer than the alarm sets. On the basis of the temperature, movement and spot size, the software determines whether it is a disturbing object, heating, or a (starting) fire. Riwald Recycling uses the PYROsmart detection system in combination with extinguishing guns, which immediately fire when a fire starts. Thanks to these technological innovations, we stay a step forward in the recycling industry.
