Running a job with a strict zero-waste brief in Louvain-la-Neuve upends traditional methods. When ecologically committed clients entrusted us with their house, the watchword was clear: nothing must end up needlessly in landfill.
Here every item and material must find its recovery stream.
The real challenge: maximising reuse and tracing flows
- Fine sorting: wood, textiles, metals and plastics minutely separated to avoid any mixing.
- Local partners: resource centres, associations and second-hand structures ready to absorb furniture volumes fast.
- Logistics optimisation: coordinating drop points to limit transport carbon.
⚠️ Zero waste is decided at sorting, not at the skip
A single mixed stream at the recycling park undoes the effort. Homogeneous batches are built in the living rooms, not after loading.
Our approach on site
- On-site selective sorting: homogeneous batches — books, tableware, furniture, equipment — right in the rooms.
- Charity routing: good-condition goods to local reuse networks and partner associations.
- Residual recycling: non-reusable items to approved parks' recovery streams.
💡 Same demand in Uccle: ~90% revalued

The result
The house was emptied in scrupulous respect of eco-responsible values, with a revaluation rate near the top.
