About B.A.T. Services

At B.A.T. Services, we’ve been on a mission since 1997 to redefine the way industries approach waste and byproducts. What began as a modest operation in Gent has grown into a trusted partner for businesses across Europe, leading the charge in sustainable solutions and circular economy practices.

Our journey

By 2001, we shifted our focus to organic byproducts, transforming them into valuable resources through cutting-edge technologies. Today, B.A.T. Services is recognized as a pioneer in the valorization of waste streams, with innovation and sustainability at the heart of everything we do.

What we do

Our expertise lies in:

  • Valorizing industrial and organic byproducts.

Our purpose

We at B.A.T. Services are convinced that circular economy and conserving natural resources is a sustainable philosophy since the company was founded in 1997.

The key steps to a better environment and the optimal use of resources are prevent, reuse, recycle, recover and reduced disposal of waste. This way of thinking has been at the core of B.A.T.’s activities ever since the business started and is now widely referred to as the circular economy.

In contrast to the linear economy which is based on make, use and dispose, the circular economy is characterized by production, recycle and recovery where the whole system is designed in order to minimize waste and keep the materials in use for as long as possible.
