Clean Water Global's service & how we work
We stop nasty stuff, like paint rinse water, from hitting the sewers and trashing our environment.
What's allowed down the drain?
Only household water and rainwater. Everything else, paint rinse water, oils, chemicals and other toxic junk, stays out. Let it hit the sewer, and you're polluting water, messing with nature and risking drinking water. Keep it clean. Keep it safe.
Clean Water Global swoops in, grabs that paint rinse water, and hauls it to a collection spot in Belgium or the Netherlands.
There, we turn it into clean water and raw materials. The water? PFAS-free and ready to be reused. The raw materials? Perfect for making fresh, circular products. Even the plastic buckets get a second life, they're sent off to be recycled into brand-new buckets. Clean, smart, circular.
Clean Water Global is rocking Belgium and the Netherlands! Wanna know where to drop your rinse water? Hit up our deposit points page and check out all the spots.
Since all deposits roll through the Clean Water Global app, we instantly see when rollers and brushes land in a tank. Once we spot them, we plan a pickup route ASAP, usually we're back at your store within two weeks. Just hang tight and remember: we swing by, grab the gear, take it to our collection point, clean it up and return it right where we picked it up. Boom! Simple and fast.
Regulations and certificate
Dumping nasty stuff down the drain? Big no-no. It pollutes rivers, lakes and even our drinking water.
Clean Water Global swoops in with smart, safe solutions to handle paint rinse water. With biocides, acticides, heavy metals, PFAS and all that other nasty stuff out of our pipes, we can build a cleaner, safer future together.
Painters
Painters dropping off their paint rinse water? Easy. Hit up the Clean Water Global app, make your deposit and bam, your disposal certificate lands right in the app. Anytime you need it, it's there.
Internal deposit points
Got a huge volume and your own deposit point? No app deposit needed. When your tank or box is full, give us a shout. We swoop in, pick up the rinse water, tally the volumes and send you the invoice plus your disposal certificate. Quick, no fuss, all sorted.
Costs
Painters, listen up!
Dropping off your paint rinse water at a store? It's €8 per 10 liters. But here's the smart move: add a 2% disposal fee to your customer quotes. That little extra covers all your paint rinse water disposal costs. No stress, no sweat.
