What Acteurs du Traitement des Eaux de la Parcelle does

ATEP (Acteurs du Traitement des Eaux de la Parcelle) is a French professional association founded in 2020 that brings together industry actors operating in parcel-level (on-site) water treatment. It serves manufacturers, engineering firms, consultants, and service providers active in three technical domains: non-collective sanitation (ANC) and source separation, rainwater/stormwater management, and the valorization of non-conventional water sources. Rather than selling commercial products, ATEP operates as an industry body that publishes regulatory syntheses, normative documents, professional recommendations, market reports (notes de conjoncture), and maintains a comprehensive Guide on parcel water management. Its distribution model is indirect: content and standards propagate through more than 30 member companies that implement solutions in the field.

The organization is structured around thematic sections and governed by a board of directors (current term 2025-2027), with Jérémie Steininger serving as Délégué général. ATEP maintains institutional partnerships with standardization and policy bodies (AFNOR, PANANC), interprofessional networks (Les Pros de l'ANC, LABEL QUALIPLUIE), and academic/scientific institutions (ENGEES, EAU FIL DE L'EAU, LEESU). It reaches its professional audience through website publications, newsletters, a YouTube channel, and interprofessional events. As a member-owned trade association operating without external capital, parent entities, or funding rounds, ATEP is funded through membership dues and operates from its Paris headquarters (122 rue Amelot, 75011) with a small team of 5 employees.

Direct peers

• ASTEE (Association Scientifique et Technique pour l'Eau et l'Environnement): French scientific and technical association for water and environment professionals. Directly comparable to ATEP as a French water-sector trade body that publishes technical guidance, organizes professional networks, and engages on water and sanitation regulation, though with a broader scope beyond parcel-level treatment.
• PANANC: French national association focused on non-collective sanitation (ANC). Highly comparable to ATEP — and listed as an institutional partner — operating in the same regulatory and technical space for decentralized sanitation in France.
• Les Pros de l'ANC: Interprofessional network of non-collective sanitation professionals in France. Comparable as a practitioner-facing body for the ANC sector; ATEP is an active partner in this network.
• FNCCR (Fédération Nationale des Collectivités Concédantes et Régies): French federation representing local authorities managing water and wastewater services through concession or direct operation. Comparable as a French water-sector organization shaping regulatory and operational norms, with a broader scope covering collective systems alongside ATEP's non-collective focus.

Regional players

• DWA (Deutsche Vereinigung für Wasserwirtschaft, Abwasser und Abfall): Germany's leading water, wastewater, and waste association. Comparable as a national trade body setting technical standards and publishing guidance for water professionals, though operating in Germany rather than France.
• Water UK: UK water industry trade body representing major water companies and working on policy, standards, and sector research. Comparable in role as a national water-sector association setting industry positions, though UK-focused and covering collective water services rather than parcel-level treatment.
• Eureau: European federation of water services associations. Comparable as a multi-country water-sector body engaged in standards and policy advocacy, though with pan-European reach and a collective-services focus versus ATEP's decentralized niche.
• Water Environment Federation (WEF): US-based water quality professional association covering wastewater, stormwater, and water reuse. Comparable as a national-level water-sector standards and education body, though US-focused and broader in scope than ATEP's parcel-level niche.

Others

• IWA (International Water Association): Global water-sector network connecting researchers, utilities, and regulators. Comparable in its role as a knowledge and standards hub for the water sector, though operating globally with a broader research and utility-services focus.

Emerging players

• WateReuse Association: US-based association focused specifically on water reuse and recycled water. Comparable as a niche trade body advancing non-conventional water valorization — one of ATEP's three pillars — though focused on a slightly different reuse-centric use case in North America.
