Waste Marketplace

What Waste Marketplace does

Waste Marketplace is a French B2B waste management broker and SaaS provider founded in 2017 by Jérôme De Tomasi, a former VINCI executive, and headquartered in Villeurbanne (Lyon). The company serves construction and industrial site operators that must manage heterogeneous waste streams, regulatory traceability, and valorization obligations across multiple specialized processors. Its core product is Wakio, a cloud-based waste tracking application delivered via web and native iOS/Android clients, with native API integrations to the French government platforms Trackdéchets (hazardous waste BSD/BSDA) and RNDTS (excavated soils and sediments) and an export connector to Microsoft Power BI. The platform enables deposit/rotation/enlevement requests, full multi-provider and multi-site waste traceability, automated regulatory document generation, and one-click environmental register export across more than 300 waste typologies.

Waste Marketplace monetizes through three integrated offerings: (1) Wakio as a standalone SaaS subscription starting at €500 per site per year; (2) Conseil & Audit, an on-site operational consulting and waste audit add-on; and (3) Gestion Clé-en-Main, a turnkey managed service in which the company acts as single-point broker selecting and coordinating local waste processors across its network of more than 1,400 treatment facilities, consolidating contracts, invoicing, and reporting. The company takes brokerage economics on top of processor fees and reports an average client valorization rate of 88% versus a 60-65% French national average. Distribution is sales-led with four regional commercial teams covering all of metropolitan France, supported by content marketing, industry events, and a YouTube/LinkedIn presence. The company is registered as SAS Waste Marketplace with €705,100 in capital, operates with 11-50 employees (6 in tech), and raised approximately $2.17M from Groupe SMA in April 2022.

Named enterprise customers include Bouygues Bâtiment Sud-Est, Vinci Construction, Spie Batignolles, Altrad, ETF, GSE, Cogedim, Soletanche Bachy, Vinci Facilities, Trane, and Demptos. The company claims 8,000+ sites served and 14,000+ Wakio users. Strategic capital from Groupe SMA, a French construction-sector insurer, is consistent with construction-vertical alignment.

Direct peers

• Rubicon Technologies: US-listed digital waste marketplace connecting waste generators with haulers and processors through a SaaS platform. Directly comparable to Waste Marketplace in business model (broker + software), though operating at significantly larger scale in North America.
• RoadRunner Waste & Recycling: US-based digital waste management broker serving commercial and industrial customers with multi-provider coordination and tracking technology. Closely aligned with Waste Marketplace's turnkey brokerage plus digital tracking proposition.

Emerging players

• Compology: US provider of smart container monitoring sensors and waste analytics for haulers and large waste generators. Overlapping in the digital waste tracking and container management layer that powers Wakio.

Broad incumbents

• Veolia: Global waste management giant with extensive French operations in collection, treatment, and recycling. Competes with Waste Marketplace for industrial and construction waste contracts but lacks the niche digital broker focus.
• SUEZ: Major French-headquartered waste and water services group with broad portfolio across municipal, industrial, and hazardous waste. Adjacent competitor particularly for large enterprise and municipal contracts in France.
• Paprec Group: Leading French privately-held waste management and recycling company with strong construction & demolition waste capabilities. Direct comparable on the processing and collection side for the French market Waste Marketplace serves.
• Séché Environnement: French industrial and hazardous waste specialist with treatment and recovery infrastructure across France. Comparable for industrial waste streams that Waste Marketplace brokers and tracks for its customers.

Regional players

• Renewi: European waste-to-product company operating primarily in the Benelux and France, with collection and recycling services for commercial and industrial customers. Comparable business model in adjacent European geographies.
