Blue2Green: decontaminate, do not incinerate

Six of the seven Dutch university medical centres are under contract. The line in Velsen-Noord has been running since October 2026.

Dutch healthcare incinerates thousands of tonnes of material every year that could have been raw material. Blue2Green turns that around. In Velsen-Noord a line decontaminates medical waste instead of burning it, and returns the material to the chain. Audit-grade, so a hospital can include it in its CSRD reporting.

For Liven Invest, Blue2Green is the holding that shows what building alongside means. We invested, but that was the start. We positioned the company in the healthcare chain, from waste processor to healthcare climate infrastructure. We sit next to the founder in daily operations: rhythm, numbers, contracts. And we tell the story to family offices and investors who want to finance the next step.

The demand is there. Six of the seven UMCs have signed. The technology is proven; the same line already runs in Belgium. What Blue2Green needs now is scale: a second and third site, and a plug-in layer for regional healthcare waste networks.

That is the next deal. With its own thesis, its own collateral and its own account.
