MCB Milieutechniek

What MCB Milieutechniek does

MCB Milieutechniek, legally M.C.B. Milieu & Techniek B.V., is a privately held Dutch family-owned manufacturer specialising in the design, production, and maintenance of steel waste collection containers. Founded around 2000 and headquartered at Einsteinweg 21 in Tholen, the company offers a comprehensive portfolio covering aboveground, semi-underground, and underground containers across seven waste streams — glass, paper and cardboard, PBD (plastic packaging/tins/drink cartons), GFT (bio waste), residual waste, e-waste, and textile — plus a multi-stream outdoor separation unit (Afvalscheidingsmeubel). Container capacities range from 240 to 5,000 litres across proprietary form factors (Iglo, Square, Pyramid, Terp, Cushion). Notable technical features include KTL surface treatment using demineralised water with ~1.5% leakage loss, a modular geometry tuned to supplier roller-belt widths to minimise scrap, electronic access control systems, interchangeable e-waste inserts supporting up to six WEEE fractions, and a 12V hydraulic lift for underground textile containers with 4,000-litre capacity.

The company monetises through one-time container sales, recurring maintenance and certified inspection services, refurbishment/renovation projects, and short- to long-term rental — all priced on a quote basis via direct contact or contact form. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales to Dutch municipalities (e.g., Amsterdam, Krimpen aan den IJssel, Peel en Maas), semi-public waste collection organisations (HVC, Cyclus nv, Spaarnelanden, Omrin), commercial waste collectors (Suez), industrial/port customers (Rotterdam Port Authority, Landal), and charities (Opnieuw & Co). Distribution is direct, with tenders being a primary procurement mechanism and export collaborations extending reach across Europe. MCB holds VCA**, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, NEN-EN-ISO 9606-1:2017 welding, CO2 Performance Ladder, and SBB training-company credentials, and operates under Director Maris van der Maas as a family business with in-house execution across the value chain.
