Profile

Company profile

Blauwe Bagger transforms dredged material into secondary materials for the construction industry. Every year, municipalities and water boards dredge millions of cubic meters of dredged material the largest waste stream in the Netherlands. Currently, this material is mostly transported away and sent to landfills, incurring high costs and resulting in CO₂ and methane emissions.
We have developed the "BlueBox": a autonomous mobile unit that separates dredged material directly at the dredging site into clean sand, clay, and purified water. The sand can replace primary limestone filler in precast concrete, while the clay can substitute for primary clay in brick manufacturing or, when calcined, serve as a cement replacement (comprising up to 30% of the mix). The process water is purified and returned to the waterway. In this way, we reduce both transport requirements and landfill costs, effectively turning dredged material into secondary construction resources.
