Tissup

What Tissup does

Tissup is a France-based circular-economy services company that collects end-of-life advertising materials — PVC banners, kakemonos, flags and roll-ups — and transforms them into branded consumer and corporate products (bags, pencil cases, laptop sleeves, poufs, deck chairs, key rings, card holders). The underlying process is manual upcycling executed through a network of 15 solidarity workshops (ESAT/EA) employing people with disabilities, with each project covering collection from client sites, sorting, cleaning, cutting, sewing, and doorstep delivery of finished goods.

The company's product portfolio consists of three layers: (1) the core project-based recycling and upcycling service bundled with RSE/CO₂ impact reporting, social media content and a reuse-solutions directory; (2) a 2025-launched hardware line of Reconditioned Roll-ups (refurbished aluminum display structures with new custom-printed banners, priced €67–77 HT per unit with €5 delivery); and (3) a downloadable product catalog and a self-service Transformation Calculator web tool that lets prospects estimate project scope. A Partner Referral Program allows advertising suppliers, printers and event companies to refer clients and earn a 7% commission.

Tissup is structured as a sole proprietorship (EIRL BRESSIN CLEMENCE) under founder Clémence Bressin, with five employees and operations centered in Angers, Maine-et-Loire. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, sells through direct B2B sales, an e-commerce storefront, and partner referrals, and serves a horizontally diversified customer base of 50+ enterprises, municipalities and associations across banking, construction, healthcare, postal, public sector and nonprofit verticals. Geographic reach is primarily France with a small presence in Italy.
