Material Recycling Services
Glass, plastic, metal, paper and cardboard, etc.; these days, almost nothing is lost, but everything can be recycled! As a leading, committed player in this market, Paprec innovates continuously to bring new life to waste and help make our planet greener. We have solid know-how to process your waste, from collection to recovery, and enable you to meet your regulatory requirements. Here is an overview of Paprec’s recycling universe !
As a recycling firm, a recognised industry leader, we act daily to transform our customers’ waste into new raw materials.
- Paper-cardboard;
- Plastics;
- Wood;
- Construction site waste;
- Ordinary industrial waste;
- Hazardous industrial waste;
- Ferrous metals;
- Batteries and waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE);
- Non-ferrous metals.
We manage your waste in compliance with current norms and regulations. You can benefit from our expertise to fulfil the requirements of CSR policies and enter the era of the circular economy.
As well as waste recycling and recovery, we are also attentive to the environmental impacts of transporting waste.
We are always looking for ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions:
- Trucks: we have invested in a fleet of cleaner truckers, operated by drivers who have been trained in eco-driving techniques.
- Local presence: we have sites throughout France to be closer to our customers and thus reduce the carbon footprint of our transport operations. This means you benefit from lower transport costs.
- Sorting awareness actions for everyone to help develop the right behaviour. We have a range of tools to illustrate that waste is primarily a resource to be recovered: training rooms, sorting guides, videos, etc.
- Development of new waste streams: we recently invested heavily in the recycling of organic waste. Our goal is to transform this waste into organic additives to enable ecological fertilisation of agricultural land.
Through our centralised sales office, we sell 8 million tonnes of recycled raw materials every year in France and abroad.
This process gives new life to waste by introducing recovered materials into production cycles:
- Paper-makers use RCF balls to make new cardboard boxes.
- The plastics industry uses recycled granules to make new bottles
- Wood specialists create new panels from recycled wood
- Steel-makers melt down scrap metal to produce steel.
