Ekopak acquires NWB industrial wastewater treatment plant in Tilburg
Ekopak has recently acquired the NWB (New Water Business) industrial wastewater treatment plant in Tilburg, the Netherlands. The facility collects wastewater from Agristo, Coca-Cola, Fujifilm, and IFF, in order to treat it sustainably and upgrade it for reuse.
Integrated into our Water-as-a-Service (WaaS®) model, Ekopak will be fully responsible for operational performance and further optimization.
Reuse container HQ Ekopak
Did you know our headquarters in Deinze is completely off-grid when it comes to water? Rainwater is locally treated and reused, not only for sanitary purposes, but also as high-quality drinking water. The water is collected in two underground storage tanks. Thanks to a multi-barrier treatment process, a safe and consistent water quality is ensured.
This system provides drinking water daily for 150 employees, entirely without connection to the municipal water network.
New wastewater treatment plant operational in Guatemala
We are proud to announce the startup of a new wastewater treatment plant in Guatemala, for one of the largest brewing groups in the region.
The plant integrates proven technologies across every stage of the treatment process, including primary treatment, anaerobic treatment, aerobic treatment, biogas-based energy recovery, and odor control.
These solutions enable efficient water treatment, maximize energy recovery, and significantly reduce environmental impact. 🍃

Copernicus, the European Climate Change Service, recently published its Annual Climate Summary.

This is a clear reminder that sustainable water management is more important than ever. 💧
