Ekopak is a Belgian company that operates internationally. We recycle and revalue water. Our services guarantee our customers an uninterrupted water supply. This is important for process water in production, but also for drinking water in consumers’ homes.
The challenge
In the future, companies will have to rely on their own production and reuse of water, especially at peak times, and when water companies are unable to meet the demand or when they cannot meet it in full.
The solution
That is why Ekopak offers a specialised range of industrial water treatment solutions, all with a sustainable character.
The Ekopak Group
Following companies are part of the Ekopak Sustainable Water Group:

Ekopak was founded in 2004 in Belgium and is currently a key player in industrial water treatment. The company focuses on innovative technology for water recycling. In 2018, Ekopak introduced the business model Water-as-a-Service (WaaS) into the market. Ekopak has a global client base and is active in +10 countries. All Ekopak shares are listed on Euronext Brussels (ticker EKOP) since 2021.
Ekopak France
The year 2021 marks the birth of Ekopak France, with offices based in Rouen & Lyon. With this investment, Ekopak aims to meet the high demand for sustainable water installations.

Circeaulair is a joint-venture between Ekopak Sustainable water and EPICo², with Aquafin as a partner. Circeaulair offers a decentralized circular water solution. It is a major collaboration between the public and the private sector, in which Ekopak plays an active role. In concrete terms, the effluent (or treated wastewater) coming from Aquafin’s waste water treatment plant (WWTP), is converted into process water for industrial purposes. This is done through a water treatment installation which Ekopak will install close to Aquafin’s WWTP. From here, a new pipeline network will be created transporting the process water directly to the company or the business park. This pipeline network will ensure the supply of recycled process water.
