For many years, Geocycle Belgium has been providing waste management solutions for industrial waste through
co-processing, buidling industrial symbiosis with many waste producers like the chemical or petroleum industries to redirect their waste into its cement process. The company is a subsidiary of LafargeHolcim, the world’s no. 1 in the construction materials industry.

Geocycle Belgium provides a unique waste management solution thanks to its pre-treatment platform in Seneffe, and the strong partnership with the Obourg plant which co-process the pretreated waste into its 2 cement kilns.
This waste management solution offers an opportunity to divert a lot of waste from landfilling or incineration, without producing any ultimate residues.

Our services and waste streams

Geocycle offers an opportunity to divert a lot of waste from landfilling or incineration, without producing any ultimate residues.

Geocycle is able to receive various types of waste that can be pre-treated in our installations in Seneffe or directly recycled and recovered in the cement industry.  We can categorise our waste in different categories:

• Liquid waste such as solvents, polluted water,…
• Solid waste such as sawdust, fluff, …
• Sludge/pasty waste such as sludge’s from waste water treatment plants, mineral slurry, paints, industrial sludges, ...
• Mineral waste containing iron, alumina, silica,...  

Many waste streams co-processed by Geocycle are residues from other recycling operations for which this treatment completes the recycling and recovery process.
