Our modular waste containers set a new benchmark for sustainability, meeting the highest standards of Circular Material Performance (CMP+). Unlike conventional welded containers, our smart demountable design delivers a significantly lower CO₂ footprint, easier and more efficient transport, and total reusability of every component. Each part can be replaced, repaired, or recycled with ease—ensuring a longer lifespan, lower costs, and a truly minimal impact on the environment.
Go for originality and choose Helden van Staal. Helden van Staal is the one and only manufacturer of GS-3 shelving systems. With our own production facility in Hoorn, communication lines are short and service is comprehensive. We offer measuring, advice, and everything is often available from stock. Assembly is also possible.
With Helden van Staal, you’re choosing quality. We’re a full-service supplier of sheet metal working, welded construction, stamping, and profile rolling. From design to finishing, our highly skilled professionals handle all your concepts. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do and produce. We carefully manage energy, utilize transport as efficiently as possible, and minimize waste and residual materials.
A smart design approach in which waste systems are fully demountable. No welded joints, but separate components that can easily be replaced. This makes the system more sustainable, more efficient — and truly circular. The “+” stands for Socially Responsible Entrepreneurship. The Circular Materials Plan (CMP) is expected to be formalised into a binding policy framework by 2026, with specific components becoming legally enforceable.
he CMP was developed in response to the growing demand for circular products in public spaces. Municipalities, waste collectors, and public-sector clients increasingly seek products that last longer, allow for local repairs, and align with sustainable procurement policies. Traditional welded systems fall short: they are difficult to repair, have a short lifecycle, and cause unnecessary environmental impact. Modular design is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity for sustainable, future-proof infrastructure.
The foundational principles of the CMP are formally documented in “Product Design Criteria for the Circular Materials Plan (CMP).”
Each component of our waste systems can be individually assembled and replaced. This means that in the event of damage or wear, there is no need to replace the entire system — only the affected part. This significantly extends the product’s lifespan and prevents unnecessary use of raw materials.
Thanks to the smart design, the systems are built from standardised modules. This makes production, inventory management, repairs, and upgrades simple and efficient — with less waste and lower costs.
Our products are developed based on the official CMP design criteria, as outlined in the document “Circular Modular Product Design.” This means they demonstrably meet the requirements for circular procurement (CE), socially responsible purchasing (SRP), and sustainable tenders.
What truly sets our products apart is that they can be locally assembled by people with a distance to the labour market. By collaborating with social enterprises and reintegration organisations, our products make a direct contribution to social inclusion and societal value.
We stand by our quality, service, and commitment to measurable sustainability — backed by strong references and long-standing partnerships. With over 30 years of experience and expertise, we are a reliable partner. For every situation, we offer a tailored waste system and manage the entire process: from design and engineering to delivery and aftercare.
Our intelligent, modular waste systems streamline collection and support a cleaner, more sustainable environment.
