Ecocreation

What Ecocreation does

Ecocreation BV is a Dutch private company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Heiloo, Netherlands, that designs and manufactures on-site industrial composting machines marketed under the Ecodigester brand. Its core technology uses proprietary bacterial cultures in an aerobic digestion process to convert organic (GFT/food) waste into dry, reusable compost within 24 hours, reducing waste volume and weight by approximately 85%. The product line spans three machine models (EC-30, EC-50 with integrated shredder, and EC-100 with a throughput of roughly 280 kg/day), supplemented by the patented PLA Consortium — a bacterial culture recognized by the European Patent Office that digests PLA and PBAT bioplastics within 48 hours — and an innovative cathodic protection module for stainless steel machines operating in high-acidity environments. All hardware is manufactured in the Netherlands (CE-marked).

The company sells primarily to enterprise and institutional customers with high organic waste volumes, including hospitals and healthcare networks (e.g., Asklepios Brandenburg, Bezirksklinikum Mainkofen, APEMH), hotels and hospitality operators (Van der Valk, Aire de Taponas), industrial sites (BASF Ludwigshafen), and universities (Erasmus University Rotterdam). Geographically the active customer footprint covers the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, and France, supported by direct enterprise field sales and a distribution partnership with Igefa Rostock for the Baltic Sea region. The website is localized into at least six languages and uses a free 'savings indication' ROI tool as the primary lead-generation mechanism.

Ecocreation monetizes through one-time hardware sales of the Ecodigester machines and recurring after-sales services (installation, staff training, peripheral equipment, ongoing support) under multi-year contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held, founder-owned with no external funding identified, and operates with 1-10 employees. Its primary value proposition is on-site waste processing that simultaneously reduces waste disposal costs, cuts CO2 emissions (cited at 17 tonnes saved per 100 tonnes of waste processed), and helps customers meet EU sustainability reporting requirements (CSRD, Single-Use Plastics Directive).
