♻⚡𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲: 𝐀 𝐏𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧! In recent years, the number of companies involved in the recycling and waste management industries has increased. Different factors could explain this growth: ✅ Global population increase: with more people worldwide, the amount of waste has increased. Each year, we discharge around 2 billion tons of rubbish. ✅ The raising of environmental awareness: People are becoming increasingly conscious of the dangers linked to overconsumption. ✅ Stricter standards and regulations: Some countries have introduced laws and regulations that need to be considered. Recycling has become a vital solution to limit waste and its unloading in nature. Normandy is a region that can offer a range of economic opportunities for recycling. As a region with a strong agricultural and industrial sector, Normandy is a prime location for the development of recycling and waste-to-energy businesses. Thanks to all its advantages, international companies have decided to set up a waste management factory in the Region: - Eastman: this American company is to open the world's largest plastic recycling plant in Normandy. The plant will recycle 160,000 tons of non-reusable plastics a year. - FUTERRO: another plastics recycling company that plans to open the first plant to produce, process, and recycle bioplastics. With these developments, Normandy is solidifying its position as one of the pioneers in recycling and waste management.

♻ 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲: 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲, 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐮𝐬𝐞 Over the last fifty years, the consumption of raw materials and natural resources has increased enormously, leading to important challenges in recycling and waste management. France has set an ambitious objective of having 100% of its plastic recycled by 2025. Normandy is a region that is taking the lead in this change and is home to an array of innovative companies contributing to material reuse and decarbonisation efforts. This article from Le Figaro, highlights the following companies that are contributing to the circular economy in Normandy: https://swll.to/Cww9gU - NEOLITIK: Concrete production is responsible for over 8% of global CO2 emissions. To help solve this problem, Neolitik manufactures floor tiles made from plastics and waste from demolition concrete. Their manufacturing requires 95% less CO2 emissions than traditional concrete. Their flagship product, Ecolithe is now available at one of the leading DIY stores in France - Leroy Merlin. - Hipli: The rise of e-commerce has created a boom in cardboard box consumption. Hipli proposes reusable packaging that can be used up to 100 times, preventing up to 25 kg of waste per package. Their innovative solution is used by companies such as CDiscount, Ba&sh and Saint James. - Francofil: Francofil is a company producing thermoplastic filaments for the 3D printing industry, by recycling various materials. Recently, Francofil has obtained PMUC certification, enabling its products to be used in the nuclear sector. - YesYes: Manufacturing accounts for 80% of an electronic device's environmental impact. To reduce this footprint, Yesyes reconditions phones, tablets, computers and game consoles.

Skytech's patented technology can transform certain plastics into top-quality regenerated resins. - WeeeCycling : Specialising in the recovery of strategic metals from various industrial sectors, WeeeCycling refines the materials to produce high-purity metals. These can then be directly reused by manufacturers. - Société Nouvelle Texcelis: The textile industry is responsible of 20% of global drinking water pollution.
