What Greenwaste does

Greenwaste BV is a Netherlands-based, privately held waste management intermediary founded in 2014 by Johannes Bos and headquartered in Hoogeveen. The company provides a "Total Waste Management" service that takes over the complete administration, procurement, planning, monitoring, and regulatory compliance of enterprise clients' waste streams, presenting clients with a single point of contact and a consolidated monthly invoice. Its offering spans waste stream scanning, supplier selection, operational management, and annual environmental reporting, underpinned by a proprietary client dashboard (dashboard.greenwaste.nl) and automated invoice processing.

Greenwaste operates independently of any single waste collector or processor, leveraging a curated network of third-party suppliers across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany to route more than 50 waste stream types. It serves enterprise and mid-market clients across verticals including healthcare and elderly care (Beweging 3.0, Interzorg), hospitality and food service (Accor Hotels, Compass Group), maritime and shipbuilding (Damen Shipyards), automotive (Carglass/Belron — 60 service centers), sports and recreation (Sportfondsen — 150+ locations), and industrial manufacturing (ESD-SIC). The company maintains offices in Hoogeveen (HQ), Houten (central Netherlands), and Neukirchen-Vluyn, Germany.

Greenwaste monetizes through a managed-services model: service fees bundled into monthly consolidated invoices, layered on top of pass-through procurement of collection and processing services, plus advisory and compliance work covering Dutch and EU regulations such as the Omgevingswet, CSRD, and PGS 37. Pricing is bespoke per client following a free financial and operational scan. The firm has received the FD Gazelle award four times (2018, 2022, 2023, 2025) — recognition given to the fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands — and is led by founder Johannes Bos with a team of 11–50 across four departments (Front Office, Sales Internal, Administration, and Field Operations). Ownership is family-controlled, with no disclosed institutional investment, M&A, or public-market activity.

Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Retourmatras.nlcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerGreenwaste partners with Retourmatras.nl as a dedicated collection partner for the mattress recycling component of its waste management services. Retourmatras.nl separates and recycles mattresses, ensuring valuable raw materials are recovered. This partnership was notably used in the P&O Cruises Iona renovation project where 7,000 mattresses were diverted from waste.
• Network of Waste Collectors, Processors, and SupplierscoreOthersGreenwaste maintains a large network of waste collectors, processors, and equipment suppliers across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. This network enables the company to find the best available collection and processing method for each of the 50+ waste streams it manages. The diversity of suppliers allows Greenwaste to tailor services per client and per waste stream, choosing the optimal provider for each situation.
• VerpactminorOthersGreenwaste references Verpact in the context of PMD (plastic packaging, metal packaging, and drink cartons) collection regulations. Verpact is the Dutch organization responsible for the collection and recycling of packaging materials. Greenwaste helps clients adapt to Verpact's regulatory changes (such as the shift from PD back to PMD in 2026).
• Damen Shiprepair RotterdamminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerDamen Shiprepair Rotterdam is the shipyard facility where Greenwaste project manager Iwan de Groot manages waste operations for vessels in dry dock. In the P&O Cruises Iona renovation project, Greenwaste worked closely with Damen's project coordinator and Carnival UK's Environmental Officer to coordinate mattress recycling and waste management logistics.
• Overheidsinstanties (Government Authorities)minorOthersGreenwaste maintains direct ongoing communication with government authorities regarding regulatory compliance, reporting, and policy developments (e.g., CSRD, Omgevingswet, PGS 37). This relationship allows Greenwaste to keep clients informed and compliant with the latest requirements.
