What Mineralz does
Mineralz B.V. is a Netherlands-headquartered (Waalwijk) waste-to-product company and wholly-owned subsidiary of London-listed Renewi PLC, operating under the Renewi Mineralz & Water division alongside ATM and CFS subsidiaries. Founded in 1990, the company runs six operating sites across the Netherlands and Belgium — including the Maasvlakte-Rotterdam landfill and IMMO immobilisation facility, the Zevenaar FORZ®Factory, Moerdijk, Braine-le-Château, and the Stainkoeln/Groningen site — and reports 51-100 employees. Its core technology converts bottom ash from waste incineration into certified secondary raw materials under the FORZ® brand (FORZ®Sand, Gravel, Filler, Menggranulaat, Fundering, Toeslagmateriaal) via magnetic separation, flotation-based aluminium/non-ferrous sorting, and XRF-based heavy non-ferous metal sorting, achieving a 95% recycling rate on incoming streams. The company also operates landfill and hazardous-waste services including its proprietary IMMO immobilisation technology (since 1998, the only such Dutch offering), NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) handling, and contaminated soil cleaning, supported by ISO 9001/14001/45001, KOMO®, BRL, CE, and EMAS certifications.
Mineralz generates revenue through three streams: (1) fee-based waste processing and landfill services (transaction fees for non-recyclable, hazardous, asbestos, and NORM waste intake at Maasvlakte and Braine-le-Château); (2) sales of FORZ® secondary raw materials (one-off/contract sales to concrete, cement, and GWW infrastructure customers, with FORZ®Filler enabling up to 25% cement reduction and 21% CO2 savings); and (3) metal recycling recovery, where ferrous and non-ferrous metals extracted from bottom ash are sold to smelters. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales — named Sales Managers and Sales Support staff per service line — supplemented by trade fair presence, a digital newsletter, LinkedIn/YouTube channels, and an extensive documentation library on its website. Customers include Aviko, Attero, UPS, Lidl, Dow Benelux, Van den Ban Autobanden, BTE Groep, and Morssinkhof Groep across food processing, logistics, retail, industrial, and construction sectors. The company also co-developed FORZ®Glaze with Urban Nature Culture for consumer ceramics applications. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; all quotes are custom.

Mineralz product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Mineralz converts bottom ash from waste-to-energy plants into certified secondary raw materials sold under the FORZ® brand — including sand, gravel, filler, mixed aggregate, and foundation material — for use by concrete producers and infrastructure (GWW) contractors. The company also operates landfill facilities and provides waste-processing services such as hazardous-waste immobilization (IMMO) and NORM processing for industrial waste producers in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Product overview
Mineralz is a waste-to-product company and a subsidiary of Renewi, operating across six locations in the Netherlands and Belgium. Its product portfolio is organized around two main pillars: the FORZ® circular raw materials brand and landfill/decontamination services. The FORZ® product line encompasses six specialized secondary raw material products (FORZ®Sand, FORZ®Gravel, FORZ®Filler, FORZ®Menggranulaat, FORZ®Fundering, FORZ®Toeslagmateriaal) and one co-developed product (FORZ®Glaze), all derived from processed bottom ash and serving the construction, infrastructure, and concrete industries as replacements for scarce primary raw materials. Complementing the FORZ® line, Mineralz provides landfill services including IMMO (immobilization of hazardous waste), NORM processing, and water purification. In 2016, the company opened the FORZ®Factory, the first plant to convert bottom ash from waste-to-energy plants into sustainable, clean, and safe raw materials.
