A transport company and circular entrepreneurship – a contradiction in terms?

We do everything we can to work sustainably.

‘It's all about awareness,’ says Jan van Dam. ‘Initially on my part, and then it’s up to me to pass it on to the organisation. We often get used to doing things out of habit. But if you show that things can be done differently and more effectively, others will follow your example! To be honest, working as sustainably as possible has now almost become a sport for us!’

Our vision? Very simple: we do everything we can to work sustainably. At the end of the Week of the Circular Economy, we’d like to show you how we do this. Prepare yourself for a surprise!

If you had asked Jan van Dam that fifteen years ago, he would have said yes. But we have since discovered that many things are possible in that area. Yes, even for an environmentally harmful transport company such as Jan van Dam Machine Transport.

Which is perhaps obvious, but you have to do it properly. Paper, wood, plastic, oil: everything that we can separate is separated. We have waste bins for paper, residual waste and plastic in all kinds of places inside and outside our company. It doesn’t require much effort for employees to dispose of their waste in the right way.
