Taking action for re-use
To encourage re-use, we have solutions that preserve the condition of the products we take back and direct them to a network of more than 700 solidarity-based players.
A territorial network dedicated to recycling
Thanks to our regional coordinators, we can put you in direct contact with solidarity players. These players have a privileged link with you and directly recover properly preserved waste.
To organize collection by retailers, who collect products all year round, we have collection solutions with containers adapted to the size of the products taken back: collection bins for toys and small DIY and garden items to be placed at the entrance to the store, a skip installed at the back of the store for mattresses and other sofas, for example.
Digital platforms dedicated to reuse
We create partnerships with digital platforms specialized in second-hand goods - such as Geev or Izidor - to facilitate take-back by retailers and encourage re-use.
In particular, these partnerships help retailers to estimate the resale price of products, launch a second-hand offer, and ensure the traceability of products taken back and directed towards re-use.

A collection process that preserves products
We collect used products from more than 2,600 retailer sites equipped to offer trade-in services to their customers.
To preserve these products and promote reuse, we have a number of solutions:
- The installation of collection bins at store entrances for toys, DIY and garden items. Objects are deposited there and do not get damaged. They can then be sorted and reused.
- Installation of pallet boxes to collect small items. This way, they are not crushed or broken by much larger, heavier objects such as a bed or wardrobe.
- The installation of secure maritime containers, or "reuse containers", to collect furniture and protect it from bad weather and damage. Carefully disposed of, the furniture can then be taken back by an association.
Keep a skip and add a re-use container
We provide 16m3 to 30m3 closed and secure reuse containers. This solution enables products to be taken back under optimum conditions. Preserved in this way, they can then be collected by a partner for reuse.
