Recycling
Keeping your recycling business insurable—now and in the future
Fire incidents in the waste and recycling sector are, unfortunately, a daily reality. On average, major incidents occur six times a month within the sector, resulting in damages running into tens of millions of euros. The consequence? Insurers are pulling out of the market or imposing extremely stringent requirements.
At Barbon, we don't believe in giving up. Together with the experts at JB Risicobeheer, we translate risks into concrete solutions. We fundamentally improve your risk profile, making insurers eager to do business with you again. In doing so, we safeguard your business continuity and strengthen your negotiating position.

Our approach
Your challenges, our solution
We use an integrated methodology to make your business attractive to insurers once again. We achieve this through three clear phases:
1. Risk Analysis & Quick Wins
We start with an in-depth assessment of your business processes. Looking through the lens of an insurer, we identify immediately implementable improvements (quick wins) to strengthen your risk profile right away.
2. Strategic Sourcing & Negotiation
Leveraging your enhanced risk profile, we negotiate with insurers on your behalf to secure the best possible terms and rates. In doing so, we strike the optimal balance between self-retention and external coverage.
3. Customization & Continuity
You receive a tailored insurance solution that aligns with your business operations and financial capacity. Furthermore, the risk engineer from JB Risicobeheer remains closely involved, ensuring you stay sharp on emerging risks and remain insurable for the long term.
"In the recycling sector, insurability is not a given—it is the result of demonstrable risk management. We help entrepreneurs turn fire safety into their strongest asset."
