Oranjewoud supports the public and private sectors in waste processing tasks
Storage and processing of waste is a significant component of waste management in the Netherlands. And where waste management tasks are concerned, both government and the private sector have substantial responsibilities. Locations where waste is stored and processed, for instance, must comply with strict environmental criteria.
A municipal yard, also known as recycling platform or ‘environmental lane’, fulfills an important function in waste processing and storage within a municipality. Moreover, the municipal yard can serve as an example for citizens and the private sector in handling waste and applying appropriate legislation and regulations.

Rules also apply to companies
Companies and institutions must of course also comply with applicable environmental requirements in organizing their waste management. Rules for correct waste handling, soil protection, emissions, etc., also apply to them. They must also adhere to permitting rules, and also the waste processing sites of companies and institutions must meet strict criteria.
