GRAVALOIRE RECYCLAGE

What GRAVALOIRE RECYCLAGE does

Gravaloire Recyclage is a French specialist recycler founded in 2008 that collects, prepares, and valorizes treated wood (dangerous wood categories B and C, including utility poles and railway sleepers) and concrete waste from construction and infrastructure projects. The company operates as a subsidiary of the Sivaé Group, with sister company SRB Environnement extending its national coverage. It maintains a dense network of operational sites spanning every French department, including locations in Villedieu la Blouère (headquarters, Maine-et-Loire), Saint Loup (Allier), Serrières (Ardèche), and Fos-sur-Mer (Bouches-du-Rhône), supported by a pre-positioned fleet of approximately 20 grumiers (log trucks) equipped with onboard GPS for real-time tracking and rapid deployment within half a day.

The company's core offerings consist of three service lines: concrete recycling, treated wood recycling (including hazardous wood categories B and C), and specific operations for specialized waste streams. Operational technology is centered on a digital fleet management layer using GPS tracking to coordinate logistics fluidity across the dispersed fleet. Services are delivered through a sales-led, direct-engagement model in which both public and private clients submit quote requests through the company website with a guaranteed 48-hour response commitment; pricing is custom and project-based, with no publicly disclosed rate cards or tiers.

Gravaloire serves enterprise customers across construction, rail, energy distribution, and telecommunications, with named clients including SNCF, Enedis, Bouygues, Eiffage, Spie, Orange, and departmental energy syndicates (SDE 24, SDE 82). Revenue is generated through professional services contracts priced on a quote basis, tailored to project scope, volume, and location. The company positions itself as a PME-structured operator within the Sivaé Group, combining local territorial proximity with group-level operational standards and ESG commitments.
