      Wash-bear®

      Light contaminants such as foils, plastics, and wood do not belong in secondary coarse aggregates, which are used for concrete and mixed granulate, among other applications. One of the main challenges in recycling construction materials is reliably separating impurities from reusable and valuable minerals. An ideal processing plant must excel in multiple areas. To operate sustainably and cost-effectively, reliability must go hand-in-hand with effective technology, user-friendliness, and a robust design. The wash-bear® combines simple technology with impressive efficiency to separate these light contaminants from valuable granulate. The operating principle of the wash-bear®, even after 15 years, remains one of the most reliable—and therefore most successful—methods for removing contaminants from granulate.

      Waste water treatment for waste recycling companies

      Buffer Solutions: Crucial for a Phased Approach to Wastewater Since 1989, Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu has been developing innovative and sustainable solutions for wastewater treatment. In the recycling industry, where large volumes of rainwater, process water, and contaminants converge, buffer solutions play a crucial role. Buffer tanks and basins allow water flows to be safely stored and temporarily held. This creates the opportunity to treat wastewater in a phased approach, in line with our modular and future-proof strategy. By regulating the flow, treatment steps such as physical separation, oil and grease separation, or biological purification can be optimally performed. This prevents system overload and ensures consistent water quality, even during peak loads or heavy rainfall. The advantages of this phased approach are twofold. First, it prevents unnecessary investments in systems that are only sporadically used at full capacity. Second, it reduces operating costs by ensuring that treatment occurs efficiently and under control. Buffer solutions thus form the backbone of a wastewater system that can grow with changing discharge regulations and business processes. Moreover, buffer solutions contribute to sustainability. By temporarily storing water streams, a portion can be reused within production or cleaning processes. This reduces freshwater consumption, lowers discharge volumes, and decreases environmental impact. With over 30 years of experience, Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu demonstrates that a well-designed combination of buffer solutions and phased treatment is reliable, efficient, and future-proof. For the recycling industry, this means cleaner water, lower costs, and a circular approach ready for the future.

      water recycling for washing processes

      Water Recycling Systems: Circular and Future-Proof Since 1989, Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu has been developing innovative solutions for wastewater treatment. With extensive experience in bulk storage, scrapyards, and industrial sites, we understand that water is not just a waste stream—it is a valuable resource. Our water recycling systems put this vision into practice. A key application is recycling water in washing processes. In facilities where vehicles, containers, or industrial components are cleaned, large volumes of polluted water are generated, often containing oil, grease, and solids. Our systems treat this water so it can be reused directly in the washing process. This drastically reduces freshwater consumption, lowers discharge volumes, and significantly decreases environmental impact. The strength of our approach lies in source separation. By removing contaminants physically first, we minimize chemical use and avoid unnecessary sludge production. Chemicals are only applied when absolutely necessary. The result is a robust, low-maintenance, and sustainable system that saves costs while meeting the strictest environmental standards. Our water recycling systems are modular: efficient in the basic configuration and easily expandable or adaptable as washing processes change or discharge requirements become stricter. With over 30 years of experience and a proven phased approach, we deliver solutions that provide immediate results and remain relevant for the future. Afvalwatertechniek NB Milieu demonstrates that smart engineering and sustainable vision go hand in hand—benefiting both businesses and the environment.
