Family business

Transparency, reliability and stability are important in our company. For CVB Ecologistics, a family business, this is logical. Recycling is our core business but also a way of life that goes beyond working hours. Our employees live recycling and stimulate each other.

Customer service orientation is key: we treat our customers the way we would like to be treated ourselves, characterized by a personal and approachable attitude. High performance is achieved by listening carefully to our suppliers and customers.

In the process from rest streams to pure raw material, CVB Ecologistics is leading. We are here to serve you!

No paper to waste

The letters CVB in the company name are the initials of the founder, Cees van Berkel. He bought a share in Heijnen Papierhandel (now CVB Recycling) in 1994.

In the years thereafter the lay-out of the actual company structure was created. Through a series of acquisitions of Dutch and Belgian recycling companies, specialized in recovered paper, the market coverage was extended. The core-business became the regional collection of paper and board with outlets of pure raw material worldwide.

The acquisition period, most recently the takeover of 2 branches of Veolia Papier Recycling, has led to what CVB Ecologistics is today, with its head office in Tilburg (NL) and 12 production sites in the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK.

The current management is led by Gerrit Ritmeester and Linda van Berkel, daughter of the founder.   

Reduce, reuse, recycle

In 2012 CVB Ecologistics started a new activity: processing of recyclable hard plastics into raw material for new products.

This new road strengthens the recycling loop within our company. It connects seamless with total processing of rest streams that we offer to our suppliers and extends the availability of pure raw material for the manufacturing industry.

We keep on searching for the best recycling methods in order to protect the environment as much as possible while processing rest streams.   

Diversification

 

In January of  2017 textile recycling company  Vernooy Textile Recyclers joined the CVB Ecologistics group.  This company with a long family history  maximises the reuse of existing textiles both as finished products and raw materials (recycling). 

Vernooy Textile Recyclers serves an international business-to-business client base, primarily concentrated in Europe, Asia and more specifically India. Its (purchasing) customer are mainly companies that de-fibre the textiles and, either independently or in collaboration with partners, manufacture new textile products for consumer use and industry.  

Since 2019, there has been a partnership with a group of workwear manufacturers, aimed at making all discarded workwear suitable for circular use, for reuse and recycling.

Vernooy Textile Recylcers processes 10.000 tonnes of used textiles every year. The company is located in Tilburg (NL).
