Amsterdam, 1 July 2025 – Seenons, the leading European innovator in circular waste management, announces a strategic partnership with Fortino Capital. Fortino joins as majority investor to support the next phase of Seenons’ growth: scaling its independent platform across Europe and accelerating its M&A agenda. The company’s existing investors remain on board, continuing their support for Seenons’ long-term vision of a waste-free world.
From early momentum to European scale
Seenons plays a pivotal role in enabling circular waste management for large enterprises, such as Schiphol Airport, FrieslandCampina, and the Dutch Government. As an independent connector in a fragmented market, it brings together waste producers, logistics providers, waste processors and reuse partners through one integrated platform.
In recent years, Seenons has made strong commercial progress in the Netherlands and Belgium and gained early traction in Denmark and Switzerland. With the backing of mission-driven angel and VC investors, the company has laid the foundation for a new kind of waste infrastructure: digital, transparent and circular. Now, Seenons is preparing to take the next step: expanding further into key European markets and moving towards sustainable growth, supported by a strategic partner with the scale and expertise to help realise that ambition.
“We are thrilled to share this major milestone in our journey,” said Joost Kamermans, CEO of Seenons. “With Fortino as our majority investor, we are well-positioned to expand and build the most effective European platform for circular waste management. Our work with international customers has shown us the value of offering a comprehensive solution across the different countries our clients operate.”
Backing impact-driven software with European ambitions
Seenons is building Europe’s leading orchestrator of circular waste flows, enabling companies to reduce, reuse and recycle at scale. Since the launch, Seenons has reduced more than 30 million kilos of waste. The platform helps reduce waste costs significantly, while supporting clients in achieving net zero waste and proper compliance reporting. Fortino’s investment strengthens Seenons’ ability to grow both organically and through acquisitions. The company has already entered new markets via strategic acquisitions in Belgium, Denmark and Switzerland.
“At Fortino, we support ambitious software entrepreneurs building the category leaders of tomorrow,” said Alexandra de Klerk, Investment Manager at Fortino Capital. “Seenons has proven that impact and economics can go hand in hand, and we’re proud to support Joost and the team in taking this mission across Europe. The platform has all the ingredients to facilitate digital waste management, reduce costs, improve circularity and assure compliance. We look forward to backing a team that combines vision with execution, in an increasingly regulated sector.”
