Hout Recyclage

Wood recycling Vandendriessche wants to be an important link in reducing the mountain of waste. In this way we contribute to the maintenance of a cleaner living environment. We give waste a second life.

Our history

At the end of the 1970s, Julien Vandendriessche and Rosa Verbeke did not expect that their signature for the first truck with a container hook system would have such far-reaching consequences. The various company sites for the activities that emerged from that first signature now cover approximately 5 hectares, spread over Staden and Ypres.

1978. First truck

The first truck mainly transported containers for the frozen food industry. The booming business of the frozen food companies justified the investment for Julien and Rosa in more and more transport equipment.

1995. BVBA Westcompost

Westcompost BVBA was founded in 1995. The composting then moved to the industrial estate in Ypres. Transport and recycling of green waste became important activities.

1998. First mobile crushing plant for recycling green waste

In 1998 we bought our first mobile crushing plant for recycling green waste. The machine could also process wood waste into wood chips. As a result, the first contacts with the chipboard industry were made. The wood waste processing was a great success. This activity became increasingly important.

2004. NV Wood Recycling Vandendriessche

A semi-open shed is being built on the site next to Westcompost bvba. In addition to green waste, we can now also accept and process wood waste in Ypres.

2017. Mobile Crawler Crusher

The purchase of the Morbark crawler mobile crusher is an important investment. This powerful and flexible machine can be used to process large capacities.
