What Paris Est Marne&Bois does

Paris Est Marne&Bois (PEMB) is a French Établissement Public Territorial (EPT) headquartered at 1-3 place Uranie, Joinville-le-Pont, created on January 1, 2016 under the loi NOTRe (2015) as one of 12 territorial establishments within the Métropole du Grand Paris. It groups 13 communes in eastern Paris — Bry-sur-Marne, Champigny-sur-Marne, Charenton-le-Pont, Fontenay-sous-Bois, Joinville-le-Pont, Le Perreux-sur-Marne, Maisons-Alfort, Nogent-sur-Marne, Saint-Mandé, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, Saint-Maurice, Villiers-sur-Marne, and Vincennes — serving approximately 520,000 residents and 51,600+ establishments. The entity exercises 11 delegated competencies on behalf of its member communes: waste management, sanitation, urban planning (PLUi, ZAC, NPNRU), economic development, social housing policy, tourism promotion, environmental transition (PCAET, food-waste PAVs, composting), cultural development, social cohesion, and local water management.

PEMB operates a portfolio of public-service infrastructure rather than commercial products: 3 ANPR-enabled déchèteries at Bonneuil-sur-Marne, Champigny-sur-Marne, and Fontenay-sous-Bois; 5 coworking spaces ("Business Class") totaling ~2,060 m²; 4 food markets managed via the Régie Intercommunale des Marchés Alimentaires; an intercommunal marina at Joinville-le-Pont; the seasonal Marne Bateau-Bus river shuttle; the in-construction Pôle culturel et muséal (21.5 M€ HT, Wilmotte architect); a geographic information portal; and digital citizen services including DematADS and Base Adresse Locale certification. Underlying technology is primarily administrative digitization with limited AI/ML components (e.g., license plate recognition for waste facility access).

The revenue model is tax-based rather than commercial. Funding flows from local taxation: the Taxe d'Enlèvement des Ordures Ménagères (TEOM) for waste, the Fonds de Compensation des Charges Transférées (FCCT) from the 13 communes for transferred competencies, the Redevance d'Assainissement for wastewater/stormwater, and historically the Cotisation Foncière des Entreprises (CFE) until 2020. Direct user fees (boat-bus fares at 2€/trip or 5€/day pass, coworking subscriptions, market management fees, marina berths, electric boat rentals) contribute marginally. Governance is provided by a 90-member Conseil de Territoire (proportional to commune populations), a Bureau with President Olivier Capitanio and 12 Vice-Presidents, and 6 thematic commissions; mayors sit in an advisory capacity.

Revenue model

1. Taxe d'Enlèvement des Ordures Ménagères (TEOM): The TEOM finances the 'gestion des déchets ménagers et assimilés' competence (waste collection and treatment). Residents pay this tax, which funds the waste management operations of the intercommunalité.
2. Fonds de Compensation des Charges Transférées (FCCT): Communes fund the exercise of transferred competences (amenagement, development economique, environment, habitat, urbanisme, etc.) through the FCCT, fed by local taxes (taxe d'habitation, taxe foncière).
3. Redevance d'Assainissement: Sanitation fees are allocated specifically to the exercise of the 'assainissement' competence (wastewater and stormwater collection).
4. Cotisation Foncière des Entreprises (CFE): Until 2020, the CFE was collected by the intercommunalité as part of its fiscal revenues.
5. User Fees and Service Charges: Revenue from direct user fees including boat-bus fares (2€/trip, 5€/day pass), coworking space rentals, market management fees, port de plaisance fees, and various administrative service charges.
