JANSEN RECYCLING INVESTS IN CIRCULAR MARINE METALS
Transition Corporate Finance advises Jansen Recycling Group, a leading international metal recycling company, on its investment in Marine Metals
Amsterdam (18 september 2025) – Jansen Recycling Group, market leader in the recycling of various types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and expert in the field of dismantling and decommissioning in the offshore and onshore industry, has made an investment in start-up Marine Metals. With this investment, Jansen Recycling strengthens its position in the ship recycling market.
Marine Metals, founded in 2015 by Frank Geerdink under the name Circular Marine Technology and based in Barendrecht (NL), has developed a unique concept for lifting ships out of the water and dismantling them into segments and blocks. In early 2025, CMT and Marine Steel merged to form Marine Metals, marking the next phase: scaling up a proven concept into a fully industrialized solution for responsible ship recycling and high-grade steel recovery.
Axel Fuhri Snethlage, partner at Transition Corporate Finance: “With the increasing scarcity of raw materials, metal recycling is becoming increasingly important. The materials are used as secondary raw materials by metal producers, processors and smelters worldwide. Jansen Recycling Group processes approximately 420,000 tonnes annually. With this investment, Jansen Recycling is strengthening its position in the ferrous market.”

Jan Gouw, CFO of Jansen Recycling Group, adds: “This innovation meets an urgent need in the market. As the steel industry switches to electric arc furnaces (EAFs) to reduce CO₂ emissions, the demand for high-quality scrap steel is growing rapidly. Marine Metals is in a unique position to supply this raw material, enabling both circular ship recycling and the decarbonisation of steel production. For us, this is a good time to strengthen our position in the segment.”
TCF acted as exclusive financial advisor to Jansen Recycling Group, further underscoring its strong track record in the recycling sector.
