Sustainability, in all its facets, has always been the guiding principle in all operations of the intermunicipal company. Since 2018 operations were taken over by Indaver.
Activities Hooge Maey
Hooge Maey treats solid waste, leachate and waste water with maximum care for the environment. Sustainable use of resources and energy is one of the major challenges of our time. Closing energy and materials loops is becoming more and more important . Turning landfillgas into electricity is a good example of closing loops and it is only one of the many ways in which Hooge Maey contributes to a better environment.
