What Tri’n’collect does
Tri'n'collect is a Nantes-based French waste management coordinator founded in 2019 that provides source sorting, collection, and recycling services for construction-site debris. The company addresses a regulated and environmentally significant problem: the French building sector accounts for roughly half of extracted resources and ~46 million tons of waste annually. Tri'n'collect operates as a "matière coordinator," deploying modular sorting stations (bins, big-bags, carts, drums, 240L bags) on construction sites, then collecting and routing 20+ waste streams — rubble, metals, plaster, wood, plastics, insulation, joinery, cardboard, plastic film, polystyrene, tiles — to selected local recycling channels, claiming a 90% valorization rate. The service is supported by a web application that lets clients trigger collections, view dashboards, and download deposit slips, waste registers, and 7-stream attestations.
Underlying the offering is a Lean-management-inspired source sorting methodology codified by co-founder Quentin Charoy, which is positioned as the company's differentiated know-how. The company sells through three commercial structures: (1) per-collection or per-cubic-meter fees starting at €23/m³ and €300 per 15m³ collection, (2) fixed-fee packages for individual house construction (from €1,500 for 6 site visits up to 150m²), and (3) percentage-based fees on construction cost — 0.3% for tertiary, warehouses and shops, 0.5% for residential housing — plus selective deconstruction services starting at €30/m² tied to PEMD diagnosis. It operates as an "entreprise à mission" with environmental purpose legally embedded in its statutes.
Tri'n'collect has raised approximately €8M cumulatively across a 2022 round (€3M, with Bpifrance and Saint-Gobain among investors) and a 2023 round (€5M, with Banque des Territoires, BNP Paribas, Bpifrance, CIC Ouest, Crédit Agricole Atlantique Vendée, and Colam Impact). Headcount crossed 100 by mid-2023, and operations span Grand Ouest, Sud-Ouest (Toulouse expansion January 2023), Île-de-France, and Lille metropolitan area through a network of local agencies. Customer logos include VINCI Construction Sud-Ouest, Bouygues Immobilier, SPIE Batignolles, Kaufman & Broad, Cogedim, Podeliha, Procivis, and BATI NANTES. No revenue is publicly disclosed.

Tri’n’collect competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Paprec Group: Leading French C&D and industrial waste management specialist operating collection, sorting and recycling infrastructure at national scale. Direct competitor to Tri'n'Collect in French construction waste valorization.
Broad incumbents
- Veolia Environmental Services (France): Global waste management major with extensive French operations across collection, transfer, recycling and disposal. Competes broadly with Tri'n'Collect for C&D and commercial waste contracts, but as part of a much wider portfolio.
- SUEZ Recycling and Recovery (France): Major French and global player in waste collection, recycling and recovery. Offers overlapping C&D and commercial waste services alongside broader municipal and industrial waste operations.
- SARP-Industries (SUEZ subsidiary): French hazardous and industrial waste management specialist under SUEZ. Overlaps with Tri'n'Collect's regulated-waste handling and traceability documentation but focused on industrial rather than construction streams.
Emerging players
- Backacia: French circular-economy platform for reused and reclaimed construction materials. Adjacent rather than directly competing on haulage, but addresses the same source-sorting and material-valorization problem Tri'n'Collect solves.
- Cycle Up: French B2B marketplace and service platform for circular construction materials and equipment reuse. Comparable to Tri'n'Collect in serving RSE-driven developers and contractors focused on material valorization.
- Recylex: French recycling group active in lead, zinc and plastics recovery from industrial waste streams. Comparable as a French recycling-value-chain player that could partner with or compete against Tri'n'Collect for downstream valorization channels.
Regional players
- CHEOPS Environnement (Groupement): French network of independent C&D waste haulers and recyclers. Competes with Tri'n'Collect at a regional/local level for construction-site waste collection and sorting contracts across France.
Others
- BigMat France: French building-materials dealer network serving the same construction professional customers as Tri'n'Collect. Not a direct competitor, but a potential distribution partner or alternative supplier for site-related services.
- Saint-Gobain Distribution Bâtiment France: French distribution arm of Saint-Gobain, a Tri'n'Collect investor and building-materials supplier. Adjacent ecosystem participant serving the same construction professional base.
