HUBENCY

What HUBENCY does

HUBENCY is a French private SAS (société par actions simplifiée) environmental services company, headquartered in Villepinte/Goussainville, that operates an asset-light waste-management brokerage platform serving enterprise and SMB clients across 15+ waste streams. The company was founded in 2003 in the automotive sector and rebranded to HUBENCY in June 2021 to reflect its broader environmental-services positioning. It employs approximately 50 people across five nationalities (60% women / 40% men) under founder and CEO Arthur di Montagliari, with François Legris serving as deputy general director.

The company's core product is Onesty, a proprietary SaaS platform launched in 2020 that orchestrates waste collection and treatment through a curated network of roughly 450 accredited partners and 1,250 collecting agencies (expandable to 6,500 for paper and cardboard streams). Onesty is directly integrated with the French government's Trackdéchets traceability registry, providing compliance-native workflows for hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Beyond the brokerage model, HUBENCY operates the CareBag branded program (notably used in Takata airbag recall logistics) and, as of November 2023, a Circularity advisory service that extends into upstream eco-design and circular-economy consulting.

Commercially, HUBENCY monetises through multi-year service contracts (typically 2–3 years) with named enterprise customers including Total Marketing France, Argedis, EG Groupe (BP), Courtepaille, Conforama, Buffalo Grill and La Grande Récré, alongside a long tail of 500+ independent garages. Management reports approximately 45% annual growth and ~100% contract renewals. In October 2023 the company took a minority growth investment from B & Capital specifically to fund international expansion into Belgium, Spain and Italy.

Scale indicators14 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Sensoneo: Smart-waste monitoring platform combining IoT sensors, route optimisation and waste-data analytics for enterprises and municipalities. A digital adjacency to Hubency's Onesty, focused on the data/operations layer rather than partner orchestration.
• Lixo: French SaaS start-up applying AI/computer vision to waste characterisation and EPR reporting. An emerging digital peer to Hubency's Onesty platform on the data/traceability side, though without Hubency's partner-orchestration and managed-service layer.

Broad incumbents

• Paprec Group: Leading French recycling and waste-management group with nationwide collection, sorting and valorisation capabilities. Directly comparable to Hubency across multi-stream B2B waste services (cardboard, plastics, hazardous, WEEE) and a national partner/plant footprint, but at vastly larger scale.
• Séché Environnement: French listed environmental services group specialised in hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste treatment. Comparable to Hubency in its enterprise focus, hazardous-waste specialisation, and reliance on regulatory frameworks (ICPE, BSD), but operates owned treatment assets rather than an asset-light partner model.
• Derichebourg: French group operating a large environmental services division covering recycling, hazardous waste, and multi-site enterprise services. Directly comparable to Hubency in metals, WEEE, and industrial waste, though at much larger scale and with owned infrastructure.
• SUEZ Recycling and Recovery (Veolia): Major French and global waste-management incumbent covering collection, sorting, recycling and hazardous waste. Overlaps with Hubency across regulated waste streams, multi-site enterprise contracts and circular-economy advisory, and competes for the same tender pipelines.

Direct peers

• Triadis Services: French independent waste-management specialist providing multi-stream collection, traceability and reporting to multi-site enterprises. Directly comparable to Hubency's B2B managed-service model and Onesty-style digital reporting.
• SARP-Industries (Veolia): French specialist in industrial hazardous-waste collection and treatment, part of Veolia. The closest functional peer to Hubency for hazardous waste, BSD traceability, and multi-site industrial clients (automotive, retail, energy).
• Chimirec: French family-owned hazardous-waste specialist with a network of approved collection and treatment sites. Comparable to Hubency in its B2B hazardous-waste focus, BSD-compliant offering, and multi-site enterprise coverage, especially in automotive and industrial segments.

Regional players

• Recylex: French recycling group specialised in lead, zinc, plastics and hazardous waste from industrial customers. Comparable to Hubency on the regulated industrial-waste and circular-economy dimensions, with a Western-European footprint versus Hubency's domestic-French focus.
