What Ecodrop does

Ecodrop is a French digital waste management platform that connects construction site waste producers with authorized disposal facilities (ICPE-certified déchetteries) and transport providers. Founded in 2016-2017 as ECODROP SAS and headquartered in Saint-Cloud near Paris, the company operates primarily in the Île-de-France region and serves construction artisans (artisans du BTP), individual homeowners undertaking renovations, and partner professional déchetteries.

The platform offers two core service categories: (1) on-demand collection services including van pickups (6m³, 12m³, or 20m³ capacity with a 2-hour SLA), skip/dumpster rental (3m³ to 30m³), Big Bag removal, and specialized services for hazardous waste, asbestos, and soil evacuation; and (2) brokerage access to a network of 40 partner déchetteries offering negotiated per-tonne rates (€172/tonne for mixed DIB, €34/tonne for inert waste, €65/tonne for green waste, free for paper/cardboard). The technology stack comprises a web and mobile app with geolocation-based facility search, real-time 30-minute slot booking, digital deposit codes, automated compliance documentation (BSDA/BSDD for hazardous waste), and payment processing through Mangopay, Stripe, and PayPal.

Ecodrop generates revenue through transaction fees on collection services and commissions on déchetterie access brokerage. The company holds a regulated waste broker license (récépissé n°2017-010-C) for both hazardous and non-hazardous waste and serves as an approved waste manager under Valobat's REP-PMCB producer responsibility scheme for construction materials, enabling nationwide compliance services. It has secured partnerships with major industry players including Saint-Gobain, Derichebourg, Dalkia, CAPEB, and banking partners BNP Paribas and Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, and has raised approximately $7.2M across disclosed funding rounds through 2024 from investors including Amundi, Saint-Gobain, and Turenne Capital.

Revenue model

1. Construction Waste Collection Services: Ecodrop charges for on-site waste collection services including van pickup (6m³, 12m³, 20m³), skip rental (3m³ to 30m³), and Big Bag removal. Pricing includes loading, transport, and waste treatment in bundled packages. Revenue is earned on the margin between negotiated partner rates and customer pricing.

3. Specialized Waste Services: Custom services for hazardous waste (asbestos, dangerous materials), soil evacuation, and other specialized construction waste requiring specific handling and documentation (BSDA/BSDD). Quote-based pricing through sales team.
