What Seconde Œuvre does
Seconde Œuvre is a French circular-construction services firm founded in 2023 by Cécile Colas (formerly of Saint-Gobain) and headquartered in Île-de-France, now operating as ABCD REMAKE following its 2026 acquisition by Groupe ABCD International. The company specializes in the recovery and reuse of building materials, operating an integrated service stack that spans four stages: regulatory PEMD (Products, Equipment, Materials and Waste) and resource diagnostics, AMO (Assistance à Maîtrise d'Ouvrage) circular-economy advisory, careful selective deconstruction and strip-out, and a multimaterial ressourcerie with reconditioning, storage, and resale. A turnkey office partition reuse line — the company's most differentiated product — covers removal, reconditioning, and reinstallation, with materials tracked via QR codes and a proprietary carbon calculation methodology built on INIES and ADEME data.
The business model is a hybrid of professional services and physical-goods resale. B2B revenue comes from project-based contracts with construction firms, building owners, property managers, hotels, and public institutions (notable clients include Tétris, GEODIS, UNISPACE/FIFA, Ministry of Agriculture, Hôtel Prince de Conti, Best Western, Gleamer, and DEMCY/Eiffage). B2C/SMB revenue is generated through the company's own marketplace (skop.app), Le Bon Coin, Cycle Up, and a physical showroom in Montreuil (93), with secondary storage at a 1,700 m² Bondoufle (91) workshop and a Vigny (95) site. Operational footprint is currently Île-de-France only, with stated reuse economics of up to 50% cost savings versus new materials and 30–50% waste reduction per project. Customers cite environmental certifications (HQE, BREEAM) and RSE reporting as primary demand drivers, anchored to the French regulatory framework making PEMD diagnostics increasingly mandatory in renovation projects.

Seconde Œuvre competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Novaxia: French urban recycling specialist and proptech investor organizing ecoconstruction exhibitions. Already a strategic partner of Seconde Œuvre and adjacent in promoting circular construction, though primarily a real-estate recycler rather than a reuse operator.
Direct peers
- Backacia: French B2B marketplace and service provider for second-hand and reclaimed construction materials. Direct peer in the online resale/reuse channel for building materials, with comparable target buyers (contractors, artisans, public institutions) and overlap on reuse-as-a-service offerings.
- Cycle Up: Specialized French digital marketplace for reused construction materials, founded by Saint-Gobain and partners. Already a distribution partner of Seconde Œuvre, it competes for the same upstream diagnostic projects and downstream buyer pool in the French circular-construction ecosystem.
- La Réserve des Arts: Paris-based association recovering and reselling materials (with a focus on artistic and creative reuse) from events, exhibitions and construction sites. Functions as both a partner and partial peer: comparable ressourcerie-style operations with overlapping supply (deconstruction/exhibition waste) and demand.
- Comptoirs des Rues: French recyclerie and material library that channels reclaimed materials (sanitary ware, fittings, furniture) to artisans and the public. Already a partner on the Best Western Ploërmel project and operates a directly comparable ressourcerie model.
Regional players
- ReStore (Habitat for Humanity): US nonprofit chain of home-improvement resale stores sourcing from donated and deconstructed building materials. Closest international analog for combining a ressourcerie retail channel with social-insertion workforce and circular construction supply.
- Mobius Materials: UK-based marketplace and reuse services platform for reclaimed building materials with similar diagnostic-to-resale workflow. Operates in a different geography but addresses the same pain points (waste reduction, certification-grade carbon reporting) for construction clients.
- Build Reuse: US trade association and network for building-material reuse organizations, aggregating deconstruction, retail and processing operators. Comparable operating model (deconstruction + retail reuse centers) and serves as a benchmark for scaling reuse infrastructure outside France.
Broad incumbents
- Veolia: Global environmental services leader active in France across waste management and circular economy. Represents the broad-incumbent threat and opportunity: deploying reuse and marketplace services at a scale that Seconde Œuvre can only match through partnerships or acquisition by larger groups.
- Derichebourg Recyclage: Major French recycling and environmental services group; current downstream partner for non-reusable fractions from Seconde Œuvre's deconstruction sites. Provides the residual-disposal channel and competes indirectly via its own nascent reuse activity at national scale.
