The Bollegraaf Group has confirmed the launch of Bollegraaf ONE – a next-generation digital environment designed to transform the way recycling plants are monitored, managed, and optimised.
At a time when recycling facilities face increasing pressure from changing material streams, tighter quality requirements, labour shortages, rising costs, and the need for maximum uptime, Bollegraaf ONE introduces a new way forward: clearer decisions, faster responses, and smarter operations.
For years, plant performance has depended heavily on operator experience, manual interventions, and reacting to issues after they occur. Bollegraaf ONE changes that model. The digital environment is built around three powerful principles:
- Observe: gain full visibility across the plant through live dashboards, machine data, bunker levels, throughput monitoring, key performance indicators;
- Navigate: identify root causes, detect anomalies early, prioritise actions, and receive intelligent recommendations that help teams make better decisions faster;
- Evolve: move toward predictive and autonomous operations with continuous optimisation, hazard forecasting, adaptive settings, and smarter maintenance planning.
The result is a plant that becomes more transparent, more predictable, and more efficient every day.
Bollegraaf ONE was developed with one clear focus: solving real operational challenges faced by recycling businesses every day. Customers can benefit from:
- Reduced unplanned downtime;
- Higher throughput and improved recovery rates;
- Better product quality and purity consistency;
- More efficient maintenance routines;
- Faster decision-making based on real data;
- Lower dependency on individual expertise;
- Improved control over the full process.
Bollegraaf ONE combines decades of recycling process knowledge with advanced analytics and Al-driven technologies. It has been developed in close collaboration with WaDaCon, a waste data consulting firm for the recycling industry that delivers AI optimisations of recycling plant performance, and powered by Greyparrot, the waste intelligence platform, with one of the largest global deployments of AI waste analytics. This product is shaped directly from real customer needs. The platform reflects Bollegraaf’s vision for the next chapter of recycling: plants where intelligence is embedded into every decision.
“Recycling plants are becoming more complex every year, while expectations for performance continue to rise,” said Tom Wijkel, Product Manager and project lead, Bollegraaf ONE. “Our customers need more than data, they need clarity, guidance, and confidence. Bollegraaf ONE delivers exactly that. It helps people spend less time reacting to problems and more time improving performance.”
Bollegraaf ONE represents a major milestone in the journey toward autonomous recycling plants: facilities where operations continuously improve through connected systems, predictive intelligence, and informed human decision-making.
