Ecomaison and Ecominéro together at Pollutec 

At this year's Pollutec, Ecomaison and Ecominéro will be sharing a stand to promote the partnership between the two eco-organizations in the building recycling sector (building products and materials). The aim is to present the cross-cooperation agreement for the management of all building materials. Ecomaison and Ecominéro are offering manufacturers and distributors the opportunity to sign up for both categories (inert and non-inert products) on their respective platforms.

Conferences and presentations to help you understand our role and missions

  • The deployment of the new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) channels - for furniture, toys, building materials and DIY/garden products - is concentrating increasingly large volumes of products made from different, heterogeneous plastic resins. Ecomaison, accredited in these sectors, intends to contribute to achieving the national plastics recycling target set by European legislation. To this end, Ecomaison is deploying concrete operational innovations to identify new ways of recycling these materials. Gwendal Michel, in charge of this program, gives an initial assessment at the show.
  • Speaker: Gwendal Michel, Ecomaison Innovation Manager
  • In just over a decade of existence, Ecomaison, the eco-organization in charge of the furniture sector in France, has achieved a major milestone: diverting furniture waste from landfill. Today, over 97% of the waste collected is recycled as materials or energy. Ecomaison now aims to make recycling its primary form of recovery. To achieve this, technical barriers on certain types of product need to be overcome through innovation. Laure Bisson, in charge of these innovation programs, gives an initial assessment at the show.
  • Speaker: Laure Bisson, Ecomaison Innovation Manager
  • Through this conference dedicated to operators, Ecomaison will open the session with an introduction by Dominique Mignon, President of Ecomaison, before taking stock of actions carried out in 2024-2025. Key projects will then be shared: the development of plastics and textile recycling, the overhaul of the Large Volume Transport strategy, and the overhaul of the information system. Finally, the team will present the 2026-2027 roadmap, with its performance targets, forthcoming calls for tender, and a focus on innovation and R&D, always at the service of circularity and operational efficiency.
  • Ecomaison keynote speakers: opening with Dominique Mignon, President; Filomena Milano, Operations Director; Fabien Cambon, Purchasing and Innovation Director; Pascal Mahot, Purchasing Manager
  • Participation on registration
  • Reuse is making real progress in the field: EPF, SEDDRe, Cynéo and Ecomaison will share their experiences, from selective deconstruction to the structuring of new channels, via innovative local partnerships. The conference will show what regulations have really changed, how players are working together and what measurable results have already been achieved. A must-attend event to discover how, step by step, a more circular and resolutely collective construction industry is being built.

And always an eco-designed stand for "zero waste" results

Reflecting our identity and our environmental standards, this stand in the Ecomaison colors fully embodies our commitments: designed with zero waste in mind, it combines sobriety, reuse and recycled materials. The stand's design was based on 5 key principles:

  • Reuse: even though they had been in use for over 10 years, the frames still in good condition from the old Eco-mobilier stand were reused. Nothing gets thrown away! 
  • Storage and transport: the stand has been designed to be stored in uniformly sized crates, making it easy to store and transport, and protecting the modules to keep them in good condition for as long as possible.  
  • Modularity: from 9m² to 70 m², the Ecomaison stand adapts to any space! It's designed on the principle of add-on modules to meet all technical location constraints.
  • The choice of eco-responsible materials: the furniture is made of wood with a solvent-free paint finish. This means it can be easily recycled when it reaches the end of its (first) life. This brand-new recycled fabric is exclusive to our supplier. Produced from recycled plastic bottles, the polyester yarn is then used to weave the backing. For signage, the fabrics used are derived from recycled plastic bottles. Recycled and 100% recyclable, the tarpaulins used on the ecomaison stand reduce CO2 emissions and consume little energy in production. What's more, the inks used are water-based.
