Vanden Mission, Vision & Values

We exist to add real value to the recycled plastic supply chain. By working with waste producers, collectors, recyclers, and manufacturers, we match material with feedstock needs and manage the entire process end to end. This delivers certainty for every partner - and keeps plastic where it belongs.

Our Mission

To build the world’s largest recycled plastic commodities company.

Our Vision

To be the company that creates the most value from plastic waste. Producing quality commodities and products or empowering others to do so.

Our Values

Our core values keep our teams aligned, our direction clear, and our purpose front and centre.

Teamwork

We pull together as one unit, not just with those in front of us, but with all of our colleagues spanning multiple continents and cultures. We seek honesty and excellence to bring out the best in each other and do so without ego. Our collective knowledge and willingness to question is our superpower.

Add Value

In absolutely everything we do. We add value to our people, customers and product through constant education and optimisation. Vanden exceeds expectations in the Service of our customers, using each encounter as an opportunity to sharpen our skills and add more value than anyone else. When in doubt, we ask ourselves – “Am I adding value?”

Growth

Challenge ourselves and each other to learn new things and improve our skills. Be curious and industrious to redefine the boundaries of our knowledge, service and market. We’re proud of our battle scars as our failures will always be the greatest opportunity for growth.

Ownership

Never afraid to get our hands dirty! We take pride in exercising absolute ownership over the outcome of every task or challenge. We appreciate the power of forming a plan before taking action and jump at the opportunity to take the bull by the horns when we do.

Enjoy the Ride

It only happens once! We can’t always be serious and limit ourselves to be “business as usual”, so we encourage everyone to put their personalities into everything they do.

Gratefulness

Live every day with an attitude of gratitude!
