We have taken our capability to recycle oil out of maritime oil/water mixtures to the industrial cleaning companies.
By installing a weighing bridge and 4 basins in which vacuum trucks can easily dispose industrially collected waste, the industrial cleaning sector can now close the circle on waste oil.
Our basins are also fit to handle waste streams with high slibs contents.
Where the traditional approach to highly contaminated waters is to burn them, we recycle and purify them.
If the waste truck tank needs to be cleaned from the waste after disposal, we can do that directly in our tank cleaning.
We accept a wide array of industrial waste streams: oil contaminated slops, tank bottoms with high sediments, slops with solvents, high or low flashpoint waste. Our most recent addition includes separate acceptation tanks for high and low pH waste waters. We also provide specific solutions for high COD waste water streams, and are investigating biological nitrification/denitrification to deal with high N streams.
Upon arrival a sample of the waste is taken, analyzed directly in our laboratory after which the truck can discharge in our tanks and/or basins.
Getting to the next job cannot be easier with our on site cleaning available after disposal.
Ships produce vast amounts of garbage – Marpol V. Under the EU indirect fee system, ships can dispose these in Antwerp without additional charges (*). MAC² is authorized collector in that system and organizes 24/7 collection by barge, by truck, by drop-off container and at our terminal.

Collecting and treating liquid maritime waste – Marpol I, II, IV and VI – waste, is at the core of our offering. Our 3 tanker barges operate 24/7, and are supported by truck collection for small quantities. Beneath the traditional sludges and slops, we also handle the more difficult low flash slops, pre-washes and scrubber waste. All waste is treated at our treatment plant in the 4th harbour dock, with maximum recycling of valuable components.
