Serrand Recyclage

What Serrand Recyclage does

Serrand Recyclage (legal entity: C. SERRAND SAS) is a family-owned French waste management and recycling company headquartered in Dortan, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, operating across the Ain and Jura departments. Founded in 1965 by Albert Serrand as an auto wrecking and scrap metal recovery business, the company was taken over by Camille Serrand in 1986 and evolved into an integrated waste management platform serving industrial clients, craftsmen, local authorities, and individuals. The company operates four sites — the Dortan headquarters with a 60,000 m² industrial platform, the Dole agency (opened 2012), the Oyonnax/Veyziat professional waste center, and the Saint-Claude agency (opened 2026) — and runs a heterogeneous fleet of collection vehicles including multi-benne trucks, ampliroll trucks with and without grapples, and semi-trailers.

The company's core capability is a multi-technology sorting and valorization infrastructure combining mechanical screening, magnetic separation, optical sorting, blow sorting, and manual human sorting to process mixed non-hazardous industrial waste (DIB/DAE), hazardous waste, and selective collection streams. A proprietary CSR (Combustible Solide de Récupération) production line at Dortan converts non-recyclable waste into solid recovered fuel for cement plants and energy-intensive industries, with the company claiming a 95%+ overall waste valorization rate. Serrand holds ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, VHU approval under agrément PR0100014D, full prefectural ICPE authorizations for hazardous and non-hazardous waste operations, and maintains ADR-trained drivers with Trackdéchets digital traceability. Additional service lines include industrial demolition, end-of-life vehicle (VHU) processing, secure GDPR-compliant document destruction, and hazardous waste management.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on container rental (bennes ranging from 7m³ to 30m³, compactors, boxes, and bins), metal purchasing at market rates for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, waste collection and treatment fees, industrial demolition, VHU processing, and secure destruction services. Go-to-market is sales-led via field teams, supplemented by quote request forms on the company website, industry trade show participation (Pollutec, Ronax), and word-of-mouth referrals built over six decades of regional presence. Serrand is a privately held family enterprise with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds in the source data.
