Jette (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – Cleanliness Service Net Brussel plans to construct its new regional recycling facility at Jette. The building firm responsible for creating the future ‘Recypark’ design was chosen during this waiting period. The facility expects to start operations in 2028.
Net Brussel’s cleanliness service intends to establish a new metropolitan recycling park in Jette, which will open its doors in 2028. This project responds to rising recycling demands in the Brussels-Capital Region. A green architecture company designs the future park as it prepares to become the newest facility in the Recypark network for recycling parks across Brussels.
Rosalie Uyttenhovestraat intersects with Hoekje Grondstraat to establish the future location of the new recycling park in Jette. Residents in six Brussels-Capital Region districts, including Jette, Ganshoren, Sint-Agatha-Berchem, Koekelberg, Sint-Jans-Molenbeek and Brussels-City, will benefit from the facility. The call for projects resulted in the selection of architectural firms Babini-Geysen from Brussels alongside TEN Studio from Switzerland to create the new facility. The project designs sustainable operations by utilising existing site materials for construction reuse.
What is the background of the new recycling park in Jette?
The Jette recycling park serves as a part of Brussels’ waste management development strategy to create advanced waste management systems for the expansion of the recycling infrastructure. In 2024, visitors reached a total of 364,000 at the six Brussels Recyparks, resulting in a 6% increase over 2023 numbers and the sites processed over 25,000 tons of waste and materials for processing. Recyclable waste disposal operations run efficiently through these facilities for the residents who use them as key access points.
Six municipalities collaborate with the Jette project, which needs to serve residents of Jette and Ganshoren along with Sint-Agatha-Berchem while also taking in Koekelberg and Sint-Jans-Molenbeek and Brussels-City residents because these areas require additional recycling points.
The sustainable approach demonstrates Brussels’ dedication to environmental practices because the constructor plans to utilise site materials for future construction needs. The park project received architectural design responsibility from both Babini-Geysen and TEN Studio and will debut in 2028.
