What Solution Recyclage does

Solution Recyclage is a private B2B waste recycling services company founded in 2014 and headquartered at 4 rue Fernand Pelloutier, Nantes, France. It serves businesses across the Grand Ouest region (with national coverage available on request via partners) by collecting more than 40 types of waste — including paper, cardboard, glass, plastic cups and bottles, cans, polystyrene, metals, electronic waste (WEEE), batteries, toner cartridges, bulbs, pallets, plastic film, and bio-waste — through a single multi-waste service contract. The company runs a consultative, sales-led go-to-market anchored by a complimentary on-site audit that identifies waste optimization opportunities and proposes customized, ergonomic sorting tools, followed by scheduled collections executed via light vehicles to minimize client disruption.

The service platform is supported by an in-house digital traceability tool called Traçabilité en Direct (TED), which provides clients with real-time access to waste stream data, recycling certificates listing collected waste types, quantities, and regeneration site locations, as well as ecological impact dashboards translating environmental gains into CO2 balances and relatable metrics (e.g., kilometres of car travel avoided, household electricity-consumption equivalents). The company states that 100% of collected waste is recycled into raw materials through short processing circuits and certified ecological subcontractors, and that recycling costs are generally lower than landfill or incineration, producing claimed cost reductions of 2 to 10 times through optimized container sizing and collection frequency.

The business model is a managed-services, quote-based B2B contract revenue stream (no public pricing), with diversification across at least 11 industries and a customer base that ranges from micro-businesses (under 10 employees) to mid-market enterprises (200-700 employees) and includes recognizable logos such as Axa, MAIF, Banque Populaire, Capgemini, CGI, Décathlon, Maisons du Monde, Cofely Axima, Vinci Construction, and La Poste. Distribution is entirely direct, through a Nantes-based field-sales agency performing on-site audits and collections, with a sub-brand ("Solution Recyclage 33") indicating selective geographic expansion beyond the core Grand Ouest territory. No institutional investment, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed.

Direct peers

• Derichebourg Environnement: Major French player in recycling and waste services for businesses and municipalities, with national collection and sorting infrastructure. Overlaps directly with Solution Recyclage on B2B multi-waste collection and is also listed as one of Solution Recyclage's reference customers.
• Paprec Group: One of France's largest independent recycling groups, operating multi-waste collection and materials recovery across the country. Directly comparable as a B2B multi-waste recycler competing for the same enterprise customers as Solution Recyclage, but at much larger national scale.
• Séché Environnement: French environmental services group focused on hazardous and non-hazardous waste treatment, recovery and recycling for industrial and commercial clients. Directly comparable as a B2B recycling operator with multi-stream capabilities and a strong French footprint.
• Sarp-Industries (Suez subsidiary): French specialist in industrial hazardous and non-hazardous waste collection, treatment and recycling. Comparable on regulated B2B waste streams (WEEE, batteries, lamps) handled by Solution Recyclage, but operating at industrial scale under Suez.
• Recylex: French recycling group specialized in lead, plastics and zinc recovery from industrial waste streams. Comparable on the recycling-of-multiple-waste-types concept for B2B clients, though focused on industrial feedstock rather than office/commercial waste.

Broad incumbents

• Veolia Environmental Services: World leader in environmental services, providing B2B and municipal waste collection, recycling and traceability solutions. Competes for the same enterprise recycling contracts as Solution Recyclage but offers full national and international infrastructure.
• Suez Recycling and Recovery: Global environmental services giant offering municipal and B2B waste collection, sorting and materials recovery across France. Comparable on the core multi-waste collection activity but operates a vastly broader portfolio and geographic footprint than Solution Recyclage.

Regional players

• Pizzorno Environnement: French waste management group offering household, industrial and hazardous waste collection, treatment and recycling across southern France. Comparable multi-waste B2B and municipal offering but with primary geographic focus on the Mediterranean south rather than the Grand Ouest.
• Onyx (Veolia subsidiary): Brand under which Veolia operates regional waste collection and recycling services across France. Comparable on B2B multi-waste collection, but as a regional operating unit of a national incumbent rather than an independent specialist.
• Groupe Nicollin: Privately-held French waste management group with strong presence in southern and eastern France, offering multi-waste collection and recycling to enterprises and municipalities. Comparable business model but focused on different regional geographies than Solution Recyclage.
