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.
Built Around the Needs of Recycling Plant
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, prioritize actions, and receive intelligent recommendations that help teams make better decisions faster.
- Evolve – Move toward predictive and autonomous operations with continuous optimization, hazard forecasting, adaptive settings, and smarter maintenance planning.
The result is a plant that becomes more transparent, more predictable, and more efficient every day.
Customer Value First
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
A Unique Combination of Industry Expertise and Digital Intelligence
Bollegraaf ONE combines decades of recycling process knowledge with advanced analytics and AI-driven technologies. It has been developed in close collaboration with WaDaCon, a waste data consulting firm for the recycling industry that delivers AI optimizations of recycling plant performance, and powered by Greyparrot, the leading waste intelligence platform, with the largest global deployment 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 for 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.”
The Next Step Toward Autonomous Recycling
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.
This is not just a digital tool. It is a new operating model for the recycling industry.
Available Now
Bollegraaf ONE is being introduced to the market from today and will be showcased at IFAT 2026 in Munich (4-7th of May 2026), where visitors can experience firsthand how the platform is helping shape the future of recycling operations.
