Agro-Waste Recovery Services
When it comes to green waste, food biowaste and agricultural waste, everything can be collected and recycled to be transformed and used as fertiliser for agricultural use. We have developed our agro-waste recovery activity to help return natural waste to the ground. Public authorities, restaurants, businesses, etc., find out more about our solutions for a greener planet. 145,879: tonnes of organic waste collected and recovered each year. 48,244: tonnes of sludge processed every year by our subsidiary, Paprec Agro
Millions of tonnes of waste that can easily be reused to fertilise the soil are produced every year in France. This includes, for example, organic waste produced by households, large retailers and restaurants. Green waste, agricultural waste and waste from the agri-food industry, etc. The list of agro-waste products that can be collected for recovery is long.
Paprec has a long-standing commitment to the development of this sector, thereby contributing to the virtuous circle.
The organic waste collected, mostly reused as compost, undergoes several stages of transformation involving a range of processes.
This natural process consists in mixing and verifying the waste, then shredding and storing it in a fermentation area for approximately 4 weeks. The compost is stabilised during the maturation phase, which can take up to 2 months. It is then refined and screened to produce the final compost. This compost is used by farmers to reduce their use of chemical fertilisers. Paprec thus helps to preserve the planet.
METHANATIONThis is the fermentation of biowaste. The waste passes through a digestion tank which, by depriving it of oxygen, produces biogas. This biogas is used as a biofuel or to generate heat in urban heating networks, for example. This methanation process is notably used for cooking oils.
