Veolia's circular journey - From Sombreffe to national news
Highlighting a new sustainable project that gives organic waste a second life
On July 9, Veolia, the European market leader in waste, energy and water management, opened its first depackaging unit in Belgium and Luxembourg in Sombreffe (province of Namur). This new facility separates organic waste from soft plastic packaging, allowing the organic material to be later converted into green energy through biomethanisation. At full capacity, the site will process up to 30,000 tonnes of local waste per year, providing a tangible example of the circular economy.
