What Shanks Nederland B.V. does

Shanks Nederland B.V., doing business as Renewi Nederland, is a Netherlands-headquartered waste-to-product company that operates nationwide container rental, scheduled waste collection, and circular materials processing services. The company serves both business customers — across seven vertical branches (construction, hospitality and recreation, industry, logistics, retail, corporate services, and healthcare) — and private individuals undertaking renovation, construction, or garden projects. Its core technology converts collected business waste streams (residual waste, paper and cardboard, PMD, glass, wood, hazardous waste, confidential paper, and others) into high-quality circular secondary raw materials — glass, wood, metals, minerals, organics, paper/cardboard, and plastics — that are sold back into manufacturing and construction supply chains.

The product portfolio comprises business waste container rental (roll containers, drop containers, underground containers, press containers, swill tanks, hazardous waste units), sector-tailored branch solutions, the Renewi EcoSmart advisory service, the MyRenewi online customer portal for self-service ordering and reporting, and a Circulaire Diensten line that includes CSRD-aligned sustainability reporting. Revenue is generated through recurring container rental and scheduled collection fees (priced by container size, waste type, and frequency) plus transaction-based sales of circular materials to industrial buyers. Distribution is primarily direct, combining an online Dutch webshop, the MyRenewi portal for enterprise accounts, direct field advisory sales, and an inside customer service team.

The company holds the Dutch CO2 Prestatieladder (CO2 Performance Ladder) certification, supports customer compliance with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, and is participating in the CIRCLE4WIN research partnership with TNO (announced February 2025) to develop recycling pathways for end-of-life wind turbine blades. The legal entity was previously known as Shanks Nederland B.V. and now operates under the Renewi brand, indicating corporate restructuring within the broader Renewi group.
