Our mission is to offer companies the best feasible and affordable solution for the processing of their waste flows. We want to be recognized as the best service waste processor in the Netherlands and beyond. And all this in combination with the responsible and efficient handling of waste processing with regard to people and the environment.

KRAS is an internationally operating company with its head office in Volendam. Started with an old cargo bike in 1951 to collect rags and scrap iron, the company has grown into a group of companies with locations in the Netherlands, Belgium, Kosovo and Hong Kong. In the first place, KRAS is a complete service provider for companies in the collection, sorting, processing and sale of their waste streams of paper, cardboard, foils and plastics.

The waste collected by KRAS is made suitable for reuse or processed into raw material for new products. KRAS carries out the processes itself or uses reliable partners for this. The processes are fully transparent and can be followed by all parties involved.

Thanks to a great knowledge of the market and a widespread network, built up over the past sixty-five years, KRAS is engaged in the trade of raw materials and semi-finished products. KRAS trades with and sells to certified end users worldwide.

KRAS is a family business. Internally, a balanced flow of generations has been ensured, which guarantees continuity in knowledge and quality. The characteristic values ​​of the family business have been carefully passed on. But the third generation Kras also looks ahead and is ambitiously looking for new innovations and pushing the next boundaries.

Scratch socially involved

For us, corporate social responsibility means making conscious choices to achieve a balance between commercially healthy business operations and taking responsibility with regard to people, the environment and society.

Association sports still play an important role in a healthy and social society. KRAS is a sponsor of football club FC Volendam and Eredivisie handball club HVV KRAS / Volendam. On a smaller scale, KRAS supports other sports clubs and associations with a clear policy and youth plan. In the social field, KRAS supports targeted charity campaigns with a local character.
