Twee weken geleden ontvingen we KBO van Reutum en Haarle voor een rondleiding bij Riwald Recycling Netherlands
- 26-10-2025
Afgelopen week hebben we de katholieke bond voor ouderen (KBO) uit Reutum en Haarle mogen ontvangen voor een rondleiding. Met deze rondleiding willen wij iets terugdoen voor de generatie die de Nederlandse industrie in de afgelopen jaren hebben opgebouwd én deze te informeren hoe we tegenwoordig hoogwaardig recyclen t.b.v. circulaire economie en schaarste aan grondstoffen. In een grote groep hebben zij eerst een presentatie over Riwald bijgewoond en daarna een rondleiding over onze werf in Almelo gekregen.
Stap voor stap lieten wij zien hoe verschillende afvalstromen hoogwaardig gerecycled worden naar zuivere grondstoffen.Het was een zeer geslaagde ochtend met enthousiaste ouderen, en de verbinding tussen de generaties maken deze rondleidingen bijzonder
RIWALD RECYCLING STAPT MET HAAR WAGEN- EN MACHINEPARK OVER OP HV100 & REDUCEERT CO2
- 17-1-2025
Wij maken graag een positieve impact op het milieu en op de samenleving. Onze missie is om een schonere wereld achter te laten voor de volgende generatie. We zijn dan ook trots dat wij de overstap hebben gemaakt naar HVO100 (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) brandstof. Met deze overstap draagt bij aan duurzaam (inter)nationaal verwerking & transport waarbij we onze CO2-emissies en CO2 voetprint reduceren 📉
HVO is een hernieuwbare brandstof gemaakt van afval- en reststromen, zoals plantaardige oliën en dierlijke vetten. Het biedt een milieuvriendelijk alternatief voor de traditionele diesel. In tegenstelling tot fossiele brandstoffen is HVO vrijwel volledig CO2-neutraal, wat betekent dat de uitstoot van broeikasgassen tijdens het gebruik aanzienlijk wordt verminderd.
Dankzij HVO-brandstof kunnen we onze CO2-uitstoot met wel 90% verminderen. Hiermee draagt Riwald bij aan het decarboniseren van de metaalindustrie, wat in lijn is met onze CO₂-Prestatieladder Niveau 5. Naast de CO2-reductie verlaagt HVO ook de uitstoot van fijnstof en stikstofoxiden (NOx), wat zorgt voor een schonere lucht.
Deze innovatie maakt ons een duurzame keuze voor onze partners en helpt het om projecten te realiseren die voldoen aan de hoogste eisen voor energieprestatie en milieuvriendelijkheid.
Samen bouwen we aan een groene toekomst waarin duurzaamheid de norm is, zonder concessies te doen aan kwaliteit en efficiëntie 🌍

Verruiming Twentekanaak - stimulans voor de regionale economie & CO2-reductie
- 4-10-2024
Het Twentekanaal in Overijsel verbindt de havens in Twente met de havens in Rotterdam, Amsterdam en Antwerpen. Rijkswaterstaat is verantwoordelijk voor het onderhoud van deze belangrijke logistieke schakel naar de rest van Europa. Met een toename in niet alleen het aantal vrachten over water, maar ook de grootte en zwaarte van de schepen, is voor een vlotte en veilige doorvaart verruiming van de hoofd- en zijtak noodzakelijk.
De afgelopen jaren is er hard gewerkt om het Twentekanaal geschikt te maken voor grotere schepen. Met de verruiming van de Twentekanalen kunnen nu grotere en zwaarder beladen schepen veiliger en vlotter varen en zijn de havens van Almelo, Hengelo en Enschede beter bereikbaar. Dit is een stimulans voor de regionale economie en werkgelegenheid alsmede vermindering van de CO2-uitstoot.
Als watergebonden bedrijf is het Twentekanaal cruciaal voor Riwald Recycling. Naast de transformatie van complexe producten naar pure grondstoffen zorgt de verruiming ook een CO2-reductie per ton schroot, waarbij onze grondstoffen getransporteerd en hergebruikt worden door bedrijven in de (maak)industrie. In het filmpje hiernaast kijkt o.a. onze bedrijfsleider Bart van Kessel terug op een geslaagd project met alle betrokken partijen.

Ewald Huzink na 34 als directeur/mede-oprichter met pensioen samen met collega's
- 05-01-2024
Op zondag 31 december 2023 heeft Ewald Huzink een punt gezet achter zijn werkzame jaren als algemeen directeur/medeoprichter bij Riwald Recycling . Het bedrijf aan de Buitenhaven Oostzijde is uitgegroeid tot een complex van 7 hectare, vol hightech scheidingsapparatuur en -technologie voor maximale terugwinning uit grondstoffen. Ewald stond samen met zijn broer Gert Huzink aan het roer stond bij familiebedrijf Riwald Recycling, inmiddels onderdeel van ArcelorMittal - de op één na grootste staalproducent ter wereld. Het merk 'Riwald' zal wereldwijd door ArcelorMittal worden gepositioneerd in de recycling/downstream-markt.
Op 22 december nam Riwald Recycling officieel afscheid van Ewald Huzink als grondlegger van Riwald. ’s Avonds waren familie, vrienden en collega’s aanwezig om op informele wijze terug te kijken op 34 jaar Riwald Recycling. Op dezelfde avond hadden we ook het afscheid genomen van onze gewaarde collega’s Bertie Wiegman en Peter Stuifbergen i.v.m. het behalen van de pensioengerechtigde leeftijd. De dagelijks werkzaamheden van Ewald worden overgedragen aan het management team, waarbij Sylvia Lammertink zal optreden als CFO van Riwald Recycling.
Namens het gehele team enorm bedankt voor de prettige samenwerking, inzet en betrokkenheid.
DETECTION AND ROBOTIC SORTING SYSTEM FOR CIRCULAR ECONOMY
- 8-12-2023
Due to rapid population growth and prosperity, the world needs more and more raw materials. The consequences are rising prices, a stagnant economy and the threat of depletion of critical raw materials. However, raw materials are essential for the global manufacturing industry, which now accounts for more than $16 trillion in turnover. Steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, bronze and brass are found in many complex products, such as mobile phones, cars, washing machines and advanced production processes. The demand for high-tech solutions to recycle these types of products is high, the quality requirements are high, and the availability of labor is decreasing.
Circulair ondernemen
Riwald recyclet jaarlijks honderdduizenden tonnen afvalmateriaal, variërend van elektronisch afval, hoogwaardige reststromen, tot treinstellen en vliegtuigen. Circulair ondernemen is een van haar kernwaarden. De ambitie om nog meer impact te maken op de circulaire economie is sterk verbonden met het scheidingsproces. Met technieken als granulatoren, schrootscharen, eddy currents, watertafels, hakmolens en zeven sorteert Riwald op inductie, kleur en gewicht. Aan het einde van het machinale scheidingsproces resteert echter een stroom van tussen de 15 en 20 ton non-ferous en afvalsoorten die vooralsnog enkel handmatig kan worden gesorteerd. Oorzaken zijn de grote hoeveelheid verschillende materialen en de samenstelling en verstrengeling van de materialen. Op dit moment is handmatig sorteren van deze materiaalstroom de enige optie; er bestaat gewoonweg nog geen detectie- en sorteertechnologie die autonoom en automatisch een eenduidige selectie maakt van de materialen.
The preliminary research shows, among other things, that a combination of detection and sorting technologies can separate the (residual) flows completely automatically. A system that contributes significantly to the transformation towards a circular economy. By 2030, the Netherlands wants to use 50% less primary raw materials (including metals) and by 2050 our economy must be completely circular. In concrete terms, this means: 'An economy in which as many sustainable renewable raw materials are used as possible, products and raw materials are reused and in which waste does not exist.'
Samenwerking
TValley heeft als innovatiecluster de verbinding gelegd tussen Riwald Recycling en de twee TValley partners RIWO en Hogeschool Saxion. De komende drie jaar werken onderzoekers van Saxion, studenten, engineers van RIWO, subsidieconsultants van Leap en domeinspecialisten van Riwald Recycling samen aan het ontwikkelen van slimme sensoren, algoritmes en robotica om de reststroom van non-ferous en afvalsoorten autonoom en zuiver te scheiden
This involves a completely new high-tech detection system and picking robot to separate metals and waste types. The results of the subsidy project consist of (1) acquiring domain and material knowledge, (2) realizing various detection and robot sorting modules, (3) a circular recycling chain and (4) an operational product that is ready for market introduction.
This project is co-financed by the European Union.
Staff party Riwald Recycling 2023

Expansion of our fleet with Linde Electric forklift truck E35 - E50
- 14-6-2023
We have expanded our fleet with new electric forklift trucks from the Linde E35 and E50 series. They will be used for internal transport, especially when moving heavy material flows.
Riwald Recycling likes to invest in innovative and environmentally friendly technologies. These electrically powered forklifts have a lower environmental impact and will replace diesel forklifts. This results in a strong CO₂ reduction. Motrac NL's new electric forklift trucks contain advanced technologies, with which the best results can be achieved in terms of safety, comfort, productivity, and sustainability.
Riwald Recycling featured on DISCOVERY+
- 06-06-2023
The new season of Mighty Truckers follows the 'lives on the road' of truckers from different countries. Eef Verhaag is one of these truckers and shows her world of transport within metal recycling at Riwald Recycling. She explores the whole country in her huge truck cab and drives the ten-ton truck like it is nothing!
In the program, Eef was followed in her daily work. The trucker's life is quite tough and not always easy. For example, Eef has to deal with busy roads and some risks that can occur in the profession. She initially got her truck driver's license to transport her horses, in the program she tells how she ended up in the beautiful world of transport.
She says the following about her participation: “It was a special experience, the truck was full of cameras, there was a video crew present and a car drove along that also films everything. It was fun to participate. I am curious about the episodes and also curious about the other participants.”
<br Eef Verhaag en Riwald Recycling zijn te zien in Mighty Truckers op 1 en 8 augustus. Kijk jij ook mee?
Collaboration with Riwald Recycling and Aveleijn
- 28-4-2023
At Aveleijn we are committed to good care and a healthy planet. Circularity is an important part of a greener future. Many raw materials can be extracted from electronic devices that can be reused. This is better for the earth than extracting new raw materials. In collaboration with the processing company Riwald Recycling, we collect old electronic devices from which the raw materials are reused for new products. Our clients from the garden team are involved in the collection process and receive a demonstration by Riwald, so they discover which substances can be reused to make new products.
Inleveren van je huishoudelijke apparatuur kan vanaf maandag 1 mei tot en met vrijdag 19 mei. We zijn op werkdagen tussen 09:00 en 15:30 uur aanwezig. De container is te vinden op de parkeerplaats van het Bestuurscentrum in Borne.
The attached flyer shows which devices can be returned.
After the period at the administrative center, the container goes to the next region to collect electronic devices there. Which region would collect the most?
LOGISTICS CAFÉ: BUSINESS VISIT AT RIWALD RECYCLING
- 01-03-2023
On Thursday, February 23, a company visit to Riwald Recycling was organized by the Logistic Association of Port of Twente. Riwald Recycling was able to share its knowledge and vision through a tour and a presentation led by Ewald Huzink and Bart van Kessel. The visit ended with a networking drink!
To strengthen logistics with other companies in the Twente region, make it more sustainable and support the Twente economy, Riwald Recycling is a member of Port of Twente.
As a water-related company, the Twente Canal, as well as road transport in the region, is extremely important. Riwald Recycling is therefore happy to work with Port of Twente and its members for the shared interest of good infrastructure.
End-Of-Waste Certificates
- 6-2-2023
The Dutch economy must be completely circular by 2050. To achieve that goal, reuse must be taken into account when designing new products. It must also be ensured that existing products can be recycled as much as possible at the end of their life cycle. The recycling sector plays a crucial role in this.
When closing material cycles, it is essential that waste streams that are suitable for this purpose can be reused. However, once a material is 'waste', it cannot simply be used as a secondary raw material. In order to achieve high-quality use of these raw materials, agreements are required on, among other things, the 'End-Of-Waste' status of materials and products, but also on the quality requirements that must be imposed on secondary raw materials for safe and healthy application.
Thanks to our advanced processing and separation techniques, Riwald Recycling has obtained its End-of-Waste certificates with the criteria of European Regulations 333/2011 and 715/2013. With these certificates, Riwald Recycling demonstrates that they can process iron, steel, aluminum and copper scrap into pure raw materials, which can be used directly in the production process of new metals. This step furthers our position in sustainability and circularity

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.
Deze week ontvingen wij als eerste metaalrecyclingbedrijf van Nederland de CO₂-Prestatieladder Niveau 5 voor onze vestigingen Almelo en Beverwijk. De CO₂-Prestatieladder is een managementsysteem van de SKAO (Stichting Klimaatvriendelijke Aanbesteden & Ondernemen) en is in het leven geroepen om bedrijven te stimuleren CO₂-bewust(er) te handelen. De CO₂-Prestatieladder is hét duurzaamheidsinstrument van Nederland dat bedrijven en overheden helpt bij het reduceren van CO₂ en kosten, binnen de bedrijfsvoering, in projecten én in de keten.

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.

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.''

Thanks to our experience, our wide range of recycling options and our commitment to environmental, social and corporate governance criteria, Riwald Recycling ranks among the most advanced, respected and trusted recycling companies in the Netherlands and the rest of the world, says Ewald Huzink. ''
We would like to share our vision and knowledge within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, including Bonaire. Bonaire faces significant challenges in the field of (metal) waste processing. Waste processing infrastructure needs to be improved and investments in recycling are a high priority. Due to the urgency and the demand for an even more sustainable waste policy, the Lieutenant Governor of Bonaire, Edison Rijna, visited Riwald Recycling, where Riwald plays an active role in finding solutions to Bonaire's environmental issues. Riwald Recycling links its sustainability strategies to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and integrates innovative technologies for maximum recovery from raw materials. Currently, the first containers with e-waste and scrap are being loaded in Bonaire for transport to the Netherlands, and Riwald Recycling is responsible for the transformation of complex products into pure raw materials with the objective: ''that the Dutch economy would run on recovered raw materials and that no more 'new' raw materials are needed'', says Ewald 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.
