BVOR represents the majority of professional bio-waste processing facilities in the Netherlands. Our members process biowaste into valuable biobased products such as compost products, solid biomass and biogas for bio-energy production as well as other innovative biobased products (e.g fibres, proteins and compost teas). Together, the member companies process approximately 2 million tonnes of green waste and 1 million tonnes of household & commercial biowaste annually, thereby representing about 80% of the total Dutch market.
BVOR’s core activities include lobby, the operation of an organic resources knowledge centre, and a networking platform for its members. BVOR is also scheme holder of three certification schemes: the ‘Keurcompost’ certification scheme, the Dutch certification scheme for the treatment of diseased wood and invasive species, and a certification scheme for soil-compost mixtures. At a European level, BVOR is an active member of ECN, the European Compost Network.
