SARPI ThinkTech

What SARPI ThinkTech does

SARPI ThinkTech operates the European hazardous waste treatment and recovery business of Veolia Environnement, headquartered in France with operations across 9 European countries (France, Germany, UK, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Romania). The company provides comprehensive hazardous waste management spanning collection, treatment, storage, regeneration, and valorization. Its core service portfolio includes Dielix (used cooking oil collection and conversion to Dielix100 biofuel), SEVIA (used engine oil collection and regeneration into base oils for lubricants), site and soil remediation, EV battery recycling, mobile activated carbon filtration (Plug & Sorb), and laboratory chemical waste management (Valolab').

The company operates a national French network of 35+ ICPE-certified sites with 63 tanker trucks supporting 45,000+ annual interventions, plus 18 dedicated Dielix agencies. Digital infrastructure includes the Optilia customer extranet for regulatory compliance and waste tracking document management, and the Check 2 Collect telemanagement system using level sensors for just-in-time collection scheduling. The Limay (Yvelines) facility processes 35,000 tonnes of biofuel annually, and 30 of the company's collection trucks run on its self-produced Dielix100 biofuel.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: service fees for hazardous waste collection and treatment, transaction-based fees from used oil regeneration (90%+ of collected oils regenerated), and biofuel sales. Pricing follows a freemium model where collection is free for qualifying volumes (used cooking oil >60L/year, used oil >200L), with paid services for higher-value treatment, regeneration, and compliance work. The customer base spans 15,000+ restaurants and food service establishments (SMB), local authorities, agrifood industries, and industrial/automotive enterprise clients. The company is registered with the Cyclevia eco-organization and integrates with the Trackdéchets national digital waste tracking platform.

Broad incumbents

• Republic Services: Major US recycling and solid waste services provider with a strong environmental services division; comparable in scale and route-density economics for regulated waste streams.
• Veolia Environmental Services: Parent group and broader environmental services incumbent operating across water, energy and waste; SARPI operates within Veolia's Hazardous Waste Europe specialty brand, and group-level offerings overlap in adjacent waste and remediation services.
• Suez Recycling and Recovery: Global water and waste management major with extensive French and European hazardous waste and recycling operations; competes with SARPI across industrial waste, regeneration, and circular economy offerings in France.

Regional players

• Biffa: UK-headquartered waste management company providing collection, treatment and recycling services; comparable business model in regulated collection and resource recovery but primarily UK-focused.
• FCC Environment: European environmental services group active primarily in Central and Western Europe; overlaps with SARPI's waste treatment and circular-economy positioning but does not directly compete in the French domestic market.

Direct peers

• Clean Harbors: North American leader in hazardous waste management, recycling and environmental services; closest international comparable in terms of service breadth across collection, treatment, disposal and used-oil handling.
• Derichebourg: French environmental services group with significant waste recovery and recycling operations including metals and industrial streams; overlaps with SARPI's industrial waste valorization activities in France.
• Stericycle: US-listed regulated waste services provider focused on collection and treatment of hazardous and medical waste; comparable in regulated collection, compliance documentation and route-based service delivery.
• Séché Environnement: Largest French independent hazardous and non-hazardous waste treatment operator, directly competing with SARPI across industrial waste collection, treatment, and site remediation in France.

Others

• Brenntag: Global chemical and ingredients distributor with adjacent waste and circular economy services including used-oil and solvent handling; thematically related as a downstream channel/ecosystem participant for industrial waste valorization.
