The acquisition marks an important step in Seenons' mission: a world without waste.

Recycling Consultants Nederland (RCN) is the leading waste consultancy for medium-sized to large companies in the Netherlands. For nearly 20 years, RCN has supported companies with independent advice, mediation, and guidance on waste and materials management. As an independently operating organization without its own processing or collection interests, RCN focuses solely on what's best for the client. This independent approach aligns seamlessly with the vision of Seenons, which, as a platform, also operates independently of processors and collectors. RCN is a proven partner for sustainable savings in food, retail, and logistics. Its in-depth market knowledge and pragmatic approach are a valuable addition to the digital strength of the Seenons platform.
RCN was founded by Kiss the Quillettes, and with daughter Kirsten and son Robbert, grew into a close-knit family business. Together they built a loyal and expert team, which is fully relocating to Seenons. This way, the trusted service will be maintained, now supported by scale and technology.
After 19 years of independently serving the market with our no-nonsense approach, knowledge, and independent advice, we are now joining forces with Seenons to ensure we can continue to meet the market's digital needs in the future. thus Kirsten de Quillettes. “This makes the RCN-Seenons combination complementary and strong.”
Seenons and RCN have collaborated in the past, including on a Belgian-Dutch initiative to serve clients in both countries. This renewed collaboration allows both parties to leverage their complementary expertise to provide even more targeted and effective support to clients in both the Netherlands and Flanders.
The acquisition comes at a time when commercial waste management is becoming increasingly international and digital. Customers are demanding insight, efficiency, and practical solutions. It's a shift in the market that Seenons and RCN could only have dreamed of years ago, and which they are now addressing together. By combining personalized advice and technology, Seenons is taking the next step toward its mission: a world without waste.
Joost Kamermans, CEO Seenons: We've always admired RCN's results-oriented approach. Their commitment to clients and in-depth knowledge of commercial waste align perfectly with our way of working. Together, we can make an even greater impact, precisely by starting small and thinking big.
