About us

Renewi E-waste, previously known as Coolrec, is a leading player in Europe's circular economy, focusing on the processing of discarded electrical appliances and electronic products. Through our international network, which includes locations across the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, we recover plastics and both ferrous and non-ferrous metals from WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and transform them into secondary raw materials.

Our operations involve close collaboration with innovative industrial manufacturers of consumer products. This partnership enables us to develop high-quality recycling processes that not only benefit the environment but also create value from discarded items.

At Renewi, we are committed to sustainability and promoting a circular economy, working together to build a greener future.

Waste to product

Every year, millions of electrical and electronic appliances are utilised and ultimately discarded by households and businesses across Europe.

All these devices contain materials that can be effectively reused, as long as they are responsibly and sustainably separated, dismantled, purified, and processed to meet environmental standards and market demands.

As the EU market leader in WEEE recycling, Renewi excels at recovering raw materials with the highest possible purity.
