Sepur SASU

What Sepur SASU does

Sepur SASU is a French integrated waste management operator founded in 1965 and headquartered in Thiverval-Grignon (Yvelines). The company delivers waste collection, selective sorting, bio-waste valorisation, urban cleanliness, and sorting-centre operations to more than 275 territorial authorities (collectivités) across 33 départements in France, serving 13.5 million inhabitants via 145 operational sites and a fleet of approximately 2,700 vehicles, of which roughly 80% runs on clean motorisations (electric, bioGNC, B100, Oléo100). Bespoke industrial waste-management services are provided to private enterprises as a secondary revenue stream. Technology assets include the proprietary Wastreet route-optimisation platform, ultra-high-performance optical sorting machines, lateral-loading truck systems, smart-sensor sorting cabins, on-site micro-methanisation and co-composting facilities, and a 2.213 MWp photovoltaic canopy at the Thiverval-Grignon headquarters.

Revenue is generated primarily through multi-year public procurement contracts (marchés publics) awarded by competitive tender to municipalities, intercommunal authorities, and public utilities, with secondary direct B2B contracts to industrial and commercial enterprises. Sepur designs, builds, and operates large sorting and treatment facilities under long-term managed-service agreements (SIDOMPE, TRIGIRONDE, Valoseine, and the Citeo fourth plastic surtri centre) and runs a wholly-owned adapted enterprise, Sepur Insertion, that delivers professional insertion programmes and contractually valuable social clauses for public tenders.

The company is privately held under a French SASU structure (RCS Versailles 350050589). Cube Infrastructures Managers has been the majority shareholder since February 2022, replacing Trail Capital; founder Hervé Matuszewski remains Chairman of the Supervisory Board, and Youri Ivanov serves as President. Sepur reported 2024 revenue of €408M, with a Scania France December 2025 press release citing €450M. The company pursues growth through a combination of new contract wins, opportunistic acquisitions of competitors and their contracts (ECT Collecte in 2022, Samsic Propreté Urbaine in 2025, éco.Déchets in 2024), and major capital projects in advanced sorting-centre infrastructure.

Revenue model

1. Municipal Waste Collection Contracts: Sepur holds public procurement contracts (marchés publics) with municipalities and inter-municipal authorities (collectivités/communes) for household waste collection, selective sorting collection, bio-waste collection, green waste, bulky waste, and electrical waste (DEEE). Contracts are typically multi-year (e.g., 5-year initial term with renewal options). Revenue is recurring based on contracted service volumes and frequency.
2. Industrial and Commercial Waste Management: Customised, end-to-end waste management services for private sector enterprises (companies), covering industrial waste stream analysis, recycling channels, and complete waste flux management. Revenue is service-based, often contracted annually or multi-year.
3. Sorting Centre and Treatment Facility Operations: Sepur designs, builds, and/or operates sorting centres (centres de tri), co-composting platforms, micro-methanisation units, and bio-waste valorisation facilities for public and private clients (e.g., SIDOMPE, Valoseine, TRIGIRONDE). Revenue derives from facility management fees, often structured as service contracts with public entities.
4. Urban Cleanliness Services: Street cleaning (propreté urbaine) and public space maintenance services provided to municipalities, often bundled with collection contracts or as standalone services.
5. SEPUR Insertion — Adapted Enterprise: Sepur Insertion, the company's adapted enterprise (entreprise adaptée), provides insertion contracts for people distanced from employment. Revenue is subsidised through public insertion subsidies and contracts with social services. It generated 300,000+ insertion hours in 2024.

Regional players

• Renewi: European waste-to-product company operating primarily in the Netherlands, Belgium, and UK. Comparable in waste sorting, recycling, and circular-economy operations but geographically separate from Sepur's France-only footprint.
• Biffa: UK-based integrated waste management business offering collection, recycling, and treatment services. Comparable in service portfolio (collection, sorting, recycling, energy-from-waste) but operates in the UK rather than competing with Sepur in France.

Direct peers

• Nicollin: Family-owned French waste collection and urban cleanliness operator serving municipalities and private clients nationwide. Comparable mid-sized French operator competing for the same public procurement contracts.
• Derichebourg: French environmental services group with significant waste management, recycling, and urban cleanliness operations. Closely comparable to Sepur in providing integrated waste collection and sorting services to municipalities and private clients in France.
• Ramery Environnement: French waste management and environmental services subsidiary of the Ramery group, active in collection, sorting, and treatment across northern France. Direct comparable in service portfolio and customer segments.
• Pizzorno Environnement: French independent waste management company providing collection, sorting, treatment, and urban cleanliness services primarily in southern France. Comparable business model and customer mix (collectivités + enterprises) to Sepur.
• Brangeon: French family-owned group with significant waste management, recycling, and transport operations in western France. Comparable mid-market player serving collectivités and industrial clients with similar service offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Veolia: Global environmental services leader with a large French waste collection, sorting, and treatment footprint. Comparable as a comprehensive municipal and industrial waste management operator in France, though Sepur is far smaller and more Île-de-France focused.
• Saur: French water and waste services utility, now owned by EQT infrastructure, serving municipalities and enterprises. Comparable in public-procurement contract model and French footprint, though water-centric relative to Sepur's waste-only focus.
• SUEZ: Major French-headquartered environmental services group with extensive waste collection, sorting, and recycling operations. Comparable to Sepur in serving French collectivités and enterprises, but operates at substantially larger scale across water and waste.
