Waste-to-product company Renewi today announced changes to its organisation to accelerate growth in waste management, recycling and circular materials, while also pooling expertise in various fields to serve customers even better. To achieve this goal, Renewi will continue to refine its operations, accompanied by adjustments in the company's day-to-day management. 

The Commercial Waste division, in which waste collection and processing of commercial waste takes place and from which circular materials are produced, is to combine operations in the Netherlands and Belgium for greater strength in the market. Mark Thys has been appointed Chief Operating Officer of this division. Mark Thys, formerly Managing Director of Commercial Waste Belgium, with his extensive commercial experience and in-depth knowledge of the recycling industry, is ideally positioned to drive further growth. Mark Thys has significantly grown the Belgian division's turnover and profitability in recent years.  

Marc Den Hartog, Managing Director Commercial Waste Netherlands, will continue his career outside of the company. Renewi is grateful to him, for his visionary leadership and the positive impact he has had on customers, employees and the industry.  

Mineralz & Water will become part of the Specialities division. Within this division, large waste streams are supplied by third parties and recycled into new secondary raw materials in specialised plants. Examples include glass waste, contaminated soil and water and household appliances, which are recycled into glass, building materials, plastics and metals.   

The Executive Leadership Team will now consist of CEO Otto de Bont, CFO Annemieke den Otter, COO Commercial Waste Mark Thys, COO Specialities Otto de Bont (interim), Chief Strategy Officer Bruno Bruins and CHRO Kirsten Yperman (interim).  

With two strong business divisions and a powerful leadership team, Renewi is better equipped to realise its growth ambition and make the circular economy a reality together with its customers.
