What Pollustock does

Pollustock (legal entity Eurofilet France) is a French environmental technology company founded in 2009 by Stéphane Asikian and headquartered in Cannes, France. The company designs, manufactures, and deploys engineered systems to intercept and contain pollution in aquatic environments, including patented anti-macro-waste filter nets (Hydro-Rescue®, patent FR2005428, developed in 2010 with VINCI Autoroutes), filtration baskets for stormwater gullies (ID-O®), floating anti-pollution and anti-invasive barriers, oleophilic skimmers, hydrocarbon absorbents, and a defense division (Pollustock Blue Shield) offering anti-drone and anti-intrusion netting. Its Sargassum-specific barriers extend the portfolio to Caribbean ultra-marine use cases, and monitoring add-ons (OKO cameras, TITAN/VENUS/NEPTUNE volumetric sensors) plus a planned QR-O digital management interface (H1 2026) provide telemetry on fill levels and intervention timing.

The company serves municipalities, metropolitan areas, intercommunalités, highway concessionaires (notably VINCI Autoroutes since 2012), industrial operators, port authorities, water utilities (Veolia), and government agencies across 11+ countries in Europe, Africa, and French overseas territories. Pollustock's business model combines project-based hardware sales (one-time equipment purchases configured per site), professional services (pre-study, deployment by certified divers, waste characterization, water analysis, training via its Datadock-certified organization), and recurring managed services through the Assistance Sérénité warranty package (7/7 hotline, 72-hour technician dispatch, priority replacement). Distribution is direct enterprise field sales with no reseller channel or public e-commerce.

Pollustock's commercial positioning has been materially elevated by its 2025 citation at the UN Ocean Conference (UNOC) by French Minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher as the reference for ocean protection, its WWF France Club Entreprendre pour la Planète membership since 2021, and multiple government and industry recognitions (Coq Vert label, CITEO AMI, French Blue Tech top 35). Capital structure is founder-controlled with registered capital of €1,293,900 and an environmental financing partnership with Capgemini Group since 2019; no institutional venture rounds are publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Pollustock designs, manufactures, and deploys anti-pollution, anti-waste, and anti-invasive systems for aquatic environments. Its portfolio includes patented stormwater filter nets (Hydro-Rescue), gully filter baskets (ID-O), floating containment barriers, hydrocarbon skimmers and absorbents, anti-jellyfish/bathing enclosures, Sargassum barriers, drone/intrusion netting (Pollustock Blue Shield), and complementary monitoring sensors, accessories, and deployment services.

Product overview

Pollustock is a French environmental technology company (founded 2009, legal entity Eurofilet France) offering a comprehensive portfolio of anti-pollution, anti-waste, and anti-invasive solutions for aquatic environments. The core product family consists of the patented Hydro-Rescue® filter nets (installed at stormwater network outlets to intercept terrestrial waste at source) and the ID-O® filter basket line (installed inside stormwater gullies), both supported by a full ecosystem of complementary products: the B-Caïman floating waste barrier, DPOL floating vacuum, and D-WASTE floating platform for fluvial interception. Anti-pollution solutions center on a modular range of floating dams (B-STORM, B-PEARL, B-RAVEN, B-HAWK) for surface and suspended-solids confinement, supplemented by oleophilic skimmers, hydrocarbon absorbents (rolls, sheets, cushions, peat, diatomaceous earth), and containment products (retention tanks, basins, leak collectors). Anti-invasive offerings include the SwimSafe-One/Two/Three jellyfish barriers, SwimProtect and Aqualux bathing enclosures, and Sargassum seaweed barriers. A newer division, Pollustock Blue Shield, applies the company's netting expertise to physical perimeter protection against drone and intrusion threats. The portfolio is completed by monitoring add-ons (OKÕ autonomous cameras, TITAN/VENUS/NEPTUNE volumetric sensors), support services (custom engineering, deployment, water analysis, waste characterization, KarActiKub awareness workshops, approved training), and a full range of accessories (anchoring, mooring, EPI, protective covers, transport bags). The offering functions as a unified systems approach rather than a single product.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered major, flagship, core and minor.

• GreenBlue ImpactmajorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2025Pollustock and GreenBlue Impact are developing custom connected nets (filets connectés sur mesure) to recover waste at stormwater network outfalls. This partnership was specifically highlighted by Minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher at UNOC 2025 as an example of technological innovation accelerating environmental action.
• WWF FranceflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2021Pollustock joined WWF France's exclusive 'Club Entreprendre pour la Planète' (Club for Companies Committed to the Planet) in 2021. This club groups fewer than 50 French companies committed to environmental protection. Pollustock contributes to WWF's ultimate goal of stopping environmental degradation and building a future where humans live in harmony with nature.
• VINCI AutoroutescoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2010VINCI Autoroutes initiated the collaborative project in 2010 that led to Pollustock developing the first Hydro-Rescue anti-macro-waste net. Pollustock has maintained an ongoing relationship with VINCI Autoroutes (ESCOTA network) installing nets at highway stormwater outfalls since 2012. The collaboration has resulted in continuous innovation and deployment of custom anti-waste solutions.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Veolia Eau (Veolia Environnement): Global water services major; currently a Pollustock customer (Veolia Eau Territoire Bourgogne Centre). Comparable both as an environmental water-services incumbent that could become a competitor via in-house sourcing and as a key channel for Pollustock's installed base.
• Oldcastle Infrastructure (CRH): Large US stormwater and infrastructure products provider offering gully filters, separators, and water-quality units. Comparable as a broader stormwater-pollution solution portfolio, though it targets civil-infrastructure contractors rather than municipal-direct sales.
• DESMI Ocean Guard: Denmark-based DESMI is a much broader marine equipment vendor that also sells oil spill response booms, skimmers, and pumping systems. Comparable as an overlapping product family to Pollustock but addresses a wider marine/pumping market.
• SUEZ (now Eau de Suez / Veolia merger): French water and waste services major; competed with Veolia as a customer and partner for municipal water networks. Comparable as a large water-services incumbent that could internalize stormwater-pollution solutions similar to Pollustock's portfolio.

Emerging players

• The Ocean Cleanup: Non-profit foundation focused on ocean plastic removal using floating barriers and collector systems. Comparable in the broad anti-marine-pollution mission and floating barrier technology, but operates at sea rather than at stormwater outfalls and is non-commercial.

Direct peers

• Elastec: US manufacturer of oil spill response equipment including booms, skimmers, and weir systems. Comparable to Pollustock in specializing in fabricated floating barriers and surface-pollution skimmers for ports, rivers and open water.
• Lamor Corporation: Finnish global leader in oil spill response, marine environmental solutions, and water treatment equipment. Directly comparable to Pollustock because its catalog overlaps on floating booms, oleophilic skimmers, absorbents, and integrated response systems for ports and inland waters.
• Hydro International: UK-headquartered stormwater treatment and wastewater technology provider offering gully filters, vortex separators, and hydrodynamic separators. Directly comparable to Pollustock's ID-O gully basket and Pollustop anti-hydrocarbon cartridges that intercept pollution at the stormwater network.
• Brion Leno (Brion Group): Italian manufacturer of floating anti-pollution barriers and complementary response products for marine and inland waters. Comparable to Pollustock's B-STORM, B-PEARL, B-RAVEN and B-HAWK floating-boom range serving harbors, rivers, and CSO outfalls.
• Vikoma International: UK-based manufacturer of oil spill containment booms, skimmers, and ancillary response equipment for marine and inland water pollution. Closely comparable niche product set to Pollustock's floating barriers and KOMARA oleophilic skimmer line.
