Recycling Partners Belgium

What Recycling Partners Belgium does

Recycling Partners Belgium operates the Seenons platform, an independent digital marketplace for circular waste management that connects enterprise waste producers to a curated network of 300+ logistics and processing partners across 10+ European countries. The platform aggregates demand from large enterprises, government bodies, educational institutions, and healthcare providers (including Dutch Central Government, Schiphol Airport, University of Amsterdam, Flevo Hospital, Danone Belgium, and Capgemini) and routes it to specialized waste and recycling partners covering 150 distinct waste streams across 15,000+ connected locations. Core platform capabilities include partner matching, multi-country waste stream tracking, compliance monitoring, environmental impact measurement, and transparent invoicing delivered through a single point of contact.

The underlying technology is a tech-platform rather than a vertically integrated waste hauler—Seenons positions itself as an intermediary that does not own logistics assets but orchestrates them through partner integrations, providing a data insights dashboard and standardized compliance tooling. GTM is enterprise-focused direct sales supplemented by a partner referral network and a self-serve platform layer for smaller organizations. The company has executed two acquisitions (Waste Group Denmark in 2024, integrated as Seenons Denmark; Recycling Consultants Nederland in 2025) and secured Fortino Capital as majority investor in 2024 to accelerate European expansion.

The business model is platform-mediated: revenue is generated by orchestrating transactions between enterprise customers and waste/recycling partners across multiple geographies, monetizing the convenience of a single contract, single dashboard, and multi-country compliance coverage. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Operations are led by founder Stijn Smetsers, and the legal entity is headquartered in Turnhout, Belgium, while the active brand and platform (Seenons) operate primarily out of the Netherlands and broader Benelux region.
