HomepageWaste separation
In many cases, businesses in the Netherlands are obliged to separate their waste. Separation of hazardous waste (i.e. posing a threat to people, animals or the environment) is always compulsory. For all other waste streams, separation is only compulsory if the additional waste separation costs do not exceed €45. The (Dutch-language) InfoMil additional cost test indicates whether you are obliged to separate non-hazardous waste.
