Mission Milgro

The world free of waste

The world free of waste - that is our mission. But we won't achieve that mission alone. We need companies like yours: organizations where waste is released, companies that process it and parties that reuse raw materials. Only together will we accelerate the resource transition and stop waste.

Thinking differently about waste

We think differently about waste. For us, waste is a raw material - but one that has lost its way. And that requires a different approach. Milgro does not think from waste, but from the preservation of raw materials. Therein lies the difference.

Over 30 years of experience

What started over thirty years ago has grown into a team of 120 colleagues. Active in the Benelux, in more than 10 sectors - from food and retail to industry and logistics. We bring knowledge, technology and parties together to structurally combat waste.

From waste costs to resource conservation

An optimized waste process is not only better for the environment, but also for your bottom line. Our experts combine our unique waste data with expertise and a strong network. We connect companies to the right processors and re-users, identify optimizations and ensure that we reduce waste of raw materials.

Time for action

We don't tell you what to do differently, we show you how to do it better. With a grip on waste, smart systems, practical solutions and concrete steps towards circularity.

Join us and work with us towards a world without waste!

"In 1993 I started Milgro with the ambition to get more value out of the raw materials used in company processes. Extending the life of raw materials, balancing economy and ecology, is something we apply daily in practice for both discarders and receivers."

Laurens Groen, - Founder and CEO Milgro

The bee: symbol of connection and progress

The bee is more than an insect - it is a powerful symbol for how Milgro works. In our logo, the wings form the infinity sign, symbolizing the continuous match between receiver and disposer. The body represents data and technology, the core of our smart approach.

Like the bee, we connect the right parties and ensure growth and efficiency within waste management. Hard work, smart collaboration and a crucial role in the ecosystem - exactly the characteristics that drive Milgro. That's why we added the bee as a symbol to our logo in 2020.

Our core values

Milgro has three clear core values. They emphasize what Milgro stands for and what we want to realize in daily practice: Connect, Improve and Amaze
