More than six months after the takeover of VM Logistics by entrepreneur Willem De Pesseroey, the CEO sees that his unique logistics company is doing well. “Through our business model we make an important contribution to a sustainable world,” says De Pesseroey. “Today, 100 percent of every kilogram that comes in here goes back to the industry for reuse or recycling.”

“Value-added logistics is a nice term for services that add value to a product,” explains Willem De Pesseroey. He is the brand new CEO of VM Logistics after the takeover last summer. VM Logistics is one of the few logistics companies with a focus on circular goods in Belgium and is experiencing stable growth.

A large installation compresses plastic waste into bales of 450 kilos. A little further on, rejected petrol tanks go into a shredding installation, where they are ground into small chunks of plastic. “I don't like to talk about waste,” says Willem De Pesseroey, who recently became head of VM Logistics, which is located in the Meer Transport Zone (Hoogstraten). “These are raw materials that we add value to.”
