SMITED79

What SMITED79 does

SMITED79 (Syndicat Mixte de Traitement et d'Elimination des Déchets des Deux-Sèvres) is a French public establishment founded in 2000 that provides waste transfer, transport, treatment, and valorization services for residual household waste across the Deux-Sèvres department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The organization operates on behalf of 7 intercommunalités and 1 syndicate serving approximately 270,000 inhabitants, with a convention partner arrangement for the Communauté d'Agglomération du Niortais. Services are funded through member contributions and public budgets rather than commercial sales, with 2025 budget receipts totaling approximately €13.17 million across the Structure (€1.44M) and Traitement (€11.73M) budgets.

The organization's infrastructure centers on the TVME (Tri Valorisation Matière Énergie) plant at Champdeniers, which processes 45,000-50,000 tonnes per year of residual household waste into Solid Recovered Fuel (CSR) for the cement industry, targeting a 70% material and energy recovery rate. Supporting assets include four transfer stations (Melle, Coulonges-Thouarsais, SMC at Sainte-Eanne, Houdelot Negoce at Bressuire), an in-house transport fleet of three trucks and five 90 m³ semi-trailers, landfill storage contracted to SUEZ at Amailloux and Sommières du Clain, a biogas cogeneration unit operational since 2010 (expanded 2014) producing approximately 1,166 MWh annually via two 160 kW Tedom engines, and a 5 MWc photovoltaic solar plant on reclaimed waste storage land inaugurated October 2023 producing over 5,900 MWh/year. The Unitri recyclable sorting center, operational from early 2025, extends processing across five departments with 48,000 tonnes/year capacity on a 10,000 m² site.

SMITED79 employs 29 ETP permanent staff as of end-2022, distributed across the Traitement-Valorisation, Administrative-Financial-HR, and Transport-Transfer-Storage poles. Governance is exercised through a Comité Syndical of 41-53 delegates elected by member authorities, with a Bureau Syndical led by President Yves Chouteau and three Vice-Presidents. The organization is currently completing a major infrastructure modernization cycle: €22 million invested in the TVME plant, €36.2 million committed to Unitri, and additional regional financial support from Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Key circular-economy partnerships include HEDELBERG cement (CSR offtake), SUEZ (non-valorizable disposal), 3D ENERGIES (biogas cogeneration), Urbasolar/Séolis PROD (solar plant), and NALDEO/SID/ARVAL (TVME commissioning and equipment).

Core offering

SMITED79 is a public establishment that provides integrated waste management services for residual household waste in the Deux-Sèvres department. Its core offering covers waste transfer across four transfer stations, in-house transport to treatment facilities, valorization of combustible fractions into Solid Recovered Fuel (CSR) at the TVME plant, and final disposal of non-recoverable residues through contracted landfill partners. It also produces renewable energy via biogas cogeneration and a 5 MWc photovoltaic installation.

Product overview

SMITED79 is a public waste management institution providing an integrated infrastructure portfolio for household and similar waste across the Deux-Sèvres department. Its core operations comprise a network of 4 transfer stations for waste massification, an in-house transport fleet with 3 trucks and 5 semi-trailers, the flagship TVME (Tri Valorisation Matière Énergie) factory at Champdeniers that converts residual waste into Solid Recovered Fuel (CSR) with a 70% recovery rate target, the upcoming Unitri multi-department recyclable sorting center (48,000 t/year capacity), and landfill storage via a SUEZ market. These are complemented by renewable energy assets including a 5 MWc photovoltaic plant on reclaimed storage land and a biogas cogeneration unit (2 × 160 kW) at La Loge site. The TVME factory and Unitri center form the primary value-add offerings, while transport, transfer, storage, biogas, and solar represent supporting infrastructure services.

• Unitri: Future recyclable waste sorting center expected to be operational from 2025, with capacity of 48,000 tonnes annually.

Products and services

• Usine TVME (Tri Valorisation Matière Énergie) A waste sorting and recovery factory at Champdeniers that processes residual household waste into Solid Recovered Fuel (CSR) for the cement industry. The facility has a nominal treatment capacity of 45,000 tonnes per year (up to 50,000 tonnes maximum) and aims to achieve a 70% material and energy recovery rate.
• Quais de transfert (Transfer Stations) Four waste transfer stations across Deux-Sèvres (Melle, Coulonges Thouarsais, SMC at Sainte-Eanne, and Houdelot Negoce at Bressuire) that consolidate waste from collection vehicles into larger-capacity semi-trailers for cost-effective and low-carbon transport to treatment facilities.
• Service transport (Transport Service) An in-house transport fleet of three trucks and five semi-trailers operating in Alternating Moving Bottom (FMA) mode at 90 m³ each. Performs daily rotations between transfer stations and the Champdeniers treatment plant, and transfers processed waste to external storage centers, with eco-driving practices to minimize carbon emissions.
• Unitri (Centre de tri des déchets recyclables) A recyclable sorting center for sorted recoverable materials from member territories, covering five departments. With a 10,000 m² site and 48,000 tonnes/year sorting capacity, the facility processes multi-material recyclables with an investment of €36.2 million and creates approximately 65 direct and indirect jobs.
• Stockage (Waste Storage/Disposal) Non-recoverable waste disposal through a public market with SUEZ at two authorized facilities (Amailloux in Deux-Sèvres and Sommières du Clain in Vienne). Non-dangerous waste is compacted, covered with geotextile and clay membranes, with biogas captured and valorized into electrical energy and leachates treated before environmental release.
• Centrale solaire photovoltaïque A 5 MWc solar power plant on reclaimed waste storage sites (La Loge 1 and 3) at Coulonges-Thouarsais, covering 9.5 hectares and producing over 5,900 MWh/year, equivalent to the electricity consumption of approximately 2,700 people. Project developed by Urbasolar and Séolis PROD, with SMITED79 as landowner.
• Biogaz (Biogas Recovery) A cogeneration unit installed in 2010 at the La Loge 1 site in partnership with 3D ENERGIES, expanded to La Loge 2 in 2014. Uses two Tedom gas engines (160 kW electrical power each) to convert captured landfill biogas into green electricity, with methane content averaging approximately 45%. Production reached 1,166.16 MWh in 2022.
• Combustible Solide de Récupération (CSR) Solid Recovered Fuel produced from non-hazardous waste that cannot be recovered by other means. Must have a calorific value of at least 12 MJ/kg and meet limits on pollutants such as mercury and chlorine. Produced at the TVME factory and supplied to cement kilns (e.g., Heidelberg in Airvault) as an alternative to fossil fuels, contributing to circular economy objectives.
