PRECOVAL

What PRECOVAL does

PRECOVAL (Syndicat de Prévention, Collecte et de Valorisation des Déchets de l'Ouest de l'Eure), formerly known as SDOMODE and rebranded effective January 1, 2025, is a French public waste-management syndicate (Établissement public de coopération environnementale) headquartered at 348 rue de la Semaille, Bernay, France. The organization is owned and controlled by four member intercommunalités (IBTN, CCRS, CCPAVR, LPA) and governed by elected officials under the presidency of Jean Pierre DELAPORTE. It employs 51-100 staff and provides integrated household waste collection, sorting, recycling, and valorization services across the western Eure department, including textile and fiber sorting centers in Pont-Audemer, a network of déchèteries (recycling centers), voluntary drop-off points (PAVs) for glass, paper/cardboard, and food waste, La Ressourcerie reuse store in Menneval, and Les Sap' de la Risle textile boutique.

PRECOVAL's underlying infrastructure comprises physical sorting and collection assets — including the Centre de tri textile (operational since early 2025 with insertion-employment programs), the Centre de tri fibreux (operational since 2017), composting product distribution, and partner-operated downstream recycling (e.g., glass routed to the Vidmax factory in Normandy since June 2019). It maintains an extensive community engagement program through educational animations, open days, and partnerships with ADEME, regional press, and member communes. The organization reaches citizens through its website (precoval.fr), Facebook, YouTube, collection calendars, simulateur tools, and in-person events.

The business model is tax-funded rather than commercial: revenue flows primarily through the TEOMI (Taxe d'Enlèvement des Ordures Ménagères Incitative), a usage-based household waste tax calculated by commune and waste volume, supplemented by the Redevance Spéciale charged to large waste producers (gros producteurs). Ancillary retail revenue is generated through La Ressourcerie, Les Sap' de la Risle, and individual composteur sales. Pricing for the standard household service is not publicly disclosed and is calculated individually via online simulators. As a public syndicate, PRECOVAL is not venture-backed, has no private equity investors, and is not publicly traded.

Direct peers

• SMICVAL: Syndicat Mixte Intercommunal de Collecte et de Valorisation des déchets du Libournais — a rural-area French public waste syndicate operating sorting, recycling, and reuse services. Comparable structure to PRECOVAL, with a documented focus on circular economy and citizen engagement.
• SMDO: Syndicat Mixte du Département de l'Oise — a French public waste syndicate of comparable scale serving a single department. Operates déchèteries, sorting infrastructure, and reuse/valorization programs analogous to PRECOVAL's portfolio.
• Paprec Group: Leading France-based recycling group operating materials recovery facilities (MRFs) and sorting centers nationwide. Comparable to PRECOVAL's Centre de tri fibreux and Centre de tri textile in core activity, though at much larger commercial scale and as a private operator.
• SYCTOM: Syndicat de traitement des ordures ménagères serving the greater Paris area — a French public waste syndicate with the same mandate (collection, sorting, treatment, valorization) as PRECOVAL but at vastly larger scale. Highly comparable governance structure and service scope.
• Séché Environnement: French listed waste management group operating hazardous and non-hazardous waste treatment, sorting, and recovery facilities. Comparable in operating portfolio (collection, sorting, treatment, valorization) to PRECOVAL, with overlap in industrial/producer waste services.

Broad incumbents

• SUEZ: Major French/global waste management operator providing collection, recycling, and hazardous-waste services. Competes directly with PRECOVAL for Redevance Spéciale accounts from large producers and represents the principal private-sector alternative for municipal contracts.
• Veolia: Global environmental services major with extensive waste collection, sorting, and recycling operations in France. Already mentioned as PRECOVAL's downstream glass-recycling partner (Normandy facility) — competes for large-producer accounts and serves as the dominant private-sector benchmark for the territory.

Emerging players

• Sarp-Industries: SUEZ subsidiary specialized in hazardous and industrial waste collection/treatment in France. Comparable to PRECOVAL's déchèterie acceptance of hazardous waste streams (chemicals, asbestos procedures) at the small-to-mid scale.
• Derichebourg: French group active in environmental services including recycling and waste management. Overlaps with PRECOVAL in paper/cardboard and metals recovery, particularly relevant given PRECOVAL's voluntary drop-off network for fiber materials.

Regional players

• SYVEDAC: Syndicat de Valorisation des Déchets de l'Agglomération Caennaise — a Normandy public waste syndicate operating in the neighboring Calvados/Orne area. Similar size, geographic context (rural Normandy), and integrated collection/sorting/valorization mandate as PRECOVAL.
