Rapid Progress Toward a Circular Economy

Thanks to a phased strategy and the involvement of all stakeholders, the material recovery rate doubled within a year, increasing from 4% to 8%, and reaching nearly 12% in 2023. The installation of a methanizer and widespread selective collection prevented 552 tons of waste from being landfilled in 2023.

Turning Waste into Resources

  • Composting of organic waste
  • Recovery of cardboard, paper, plastic, PET, HDPE, and glass into new products
