Recycling Service Center en Milieuwerk
Business March 17 . 2025
The story of Milieuwerk began in 1992, with the aim of giving people from Amsterdam’s Spaarndammerbuurt a fair chance at meaningful work. Electrical appliances from across the city were collected and sorted at Milieuwerk, just outside Amsterdam. Today, the company is located in the Port of Amsterdam and employs 120 people who, as David Jansen (41), Director of Milieuwerk and the Recycling Service Centre (RSC), puts it: “struggle to find or keep a job on their own.”
