- Ekopak NV (EKOP.BR) designs, builds, finances, maintains, and operates sustainable industrial water and wastewater treatment solutions worldwide; the company specializes in optimizing water usage through containerized purification units that transform rainwater, surface water, and wastewater into reusable process water via its proprietary Water-as-a-Service (WaaS) model, which offers pay-per-use on-site services minimizing client capital expenditure. Core offerings encompass water treatment for process and drinking water production; wastewater treatment including primary, anaerobic, and aerobic processes with Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) technology for 100% reuse; operational services such as maintenance, water analyses, disinfection, pump and chemical services, corrosion control, and resins/ion exchange; green energy and biogas valorization from bio-waste; and REUSE solutions converting municipal effluent into industrial process water.

Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Deinze, Belgium, following a 2025 relocation from Tielt to a new energy-neutral facility, Ekopak listed on Euronext Brussels in 2021.
