Ekopak is a Belgian company that operates internationally. We recycle and revalue water. Our services guarantee our customers an uninterrupted water supply. This is important for process water in production, but also for drinking water in consumers’ homes.
The challenge
In the future, companies will have to rely on their own production and reuse of water, especially at peak times, and when water companies are unable to meet the demand or when they cannot meet it in full.
The solution
That is why Ekopak offers a specialised range of industrial water treatment solutions, all with a sustainable character.
Saving millions of litres of water? We’re doing it not only tomorrow, but also TODAY
Our approach is threefold: Reduce, Reuse and Revalue. We enable companies to save water, we make it possible to reuse water and we innovate to revalue water.
Reduce
We enable our customers to save millions of litres of water. This is ecologically and economically interesting, both for companies and private individuals.
Reuse
We design, build and operate water management systems for the reuse of all types of water: rainwater, surface water and waste water.
Revalue
We invest heavily in research and development, because by constantly innovating, we can revalue even more water.
