Sustainable approach

On all fronts

Indaver chooses a sustainable approach on all fronts. From a minimal environmental impact to maximum recovery of energy and materials from waste.
An overview of the themes on which our activities are based can be found below. The linked pages illustrate the themes with concrete examples.

  • Minimum environmental impact.
    We invest in advanced technologies to limit the impact of our activities to a minimum. In all areas: air, soil and water.
  • Maximum recovery of materials.
    Dumping the fewest possible residual materials is the ultimate objective.
  • Recovering energy from waste.
    Thanks to highly effective energy recovery from the incineration process our installations hardly need any fossil fuels anymore.
    We are committed to maximum energy recovery in the form of steam or power.
  • Specialised processing.
    Our specialised processing installations guarantee the safe and environmentally friendly processing of hazardous waste. They allow sustainable management of materials.
  • Decreasing the carbon footprint.
    We are committed to further reducing the CO2 emissions of our buildings, logistics and support activities.
  • Guaranteeing safety.
    Indaver leaves nothing to chance when it comes to safety. Whether this concerns our staff, visitors, suppliers, contractors or neighbours. Safety always comes first.

Concrete and measurable results

Indaver wants to be able to support its sustainable approach with concrete results. Hence we use relevant, measurable and verifiable performance indicators. In this way we can not only chart the results of our efforts but can also closely monitor and adjust them where necessary.

Open communication

Thanks to our measurements and the continuous monitoring of performance indicators we can communicate openly and transparently about our sustainable approach:

  • We inform neighbouring residents, nearby businesses and representatives of local authorities at regular neighbourhood council sessions and consultative committees.
  • Our websites provide detailed background information about all our activities and treatment processes.
  • We inform our customers and staff of new projects and activities through newsletters.
  • Our sustainability report gives an annual update on all aspects of our performance.
