Its role Owner
Coolrec is a European recycling company specializing in the treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and related plastic streams. A subsidiary of Renewi (formerly part of Van Gansewinkel), it focuses on turning discarded appliances and electronic products into secondary raw materials.
Through dismantling, depollution, advanced separation, washing, and compounding, Coolrec recovers ferrous and non‑ferrous metals and produces recycled engineering plastics such as ABS, PS, PP, and PE. These materials are supplied to manufacturers as consistent, specification-grade inputs for new products in sectors including consumer goods, electronics, and automotive. Operating industrial processing sites in the Benelux and serving customers across Europe, Coolrec supports circular-economy goals by keeping critical materials in use and reducing reliance on virgin feedstocks, in line with EU WEEE and environmental standards.
