QUITRI

What QUITRI does

QUITRI is a free, web-based digital platform jointly operated by three French eco-organismes — Citeo, Adelphe, and Citeo Soin & Hygiène — under France's Extended Producer Responsibility framework for packaging and paper recycling. It functions as a toolbox for waste sorting implementation outside the home, serving four user profiles: event organizers (festivals, sports events, trade fairs), establishment and public-space managers (offices, schools, hotels, stadiums, parks), waste-collection service providers (prestataires), and local authorities (collectivités). The platform consolidates practical sorting guidance, customizable signage, and connections to verified service providers across French departments, with no fees charged to any user category.\n\nThe platform's product surface comprises a poster generator that produces custom sorting signage by waste type, a downloadable visual asset library of more than 150 pictograms and photographs, a service-provider matching module with geographic filtering, an engagement charter (Charte d'engagement) that issues 'engagé Quitri' branded badges and communication kits, a financial-support simulator for the out-of-home recovery (reprise hors foyer) program, and a Trions+ module dedicated to local authorities. The site is built by Etamin Studio and hosted by Ouvrages, with no public API, no mobile application, and no AI/ML capabilities disclosed. Distribution is self-serve via quitri.com and accessible through Citeo's institutional website.\n\nFrom a business-model perspective, Quitri does not generate revenue: it is funded by Citeo, Adelphe, and Citeo Soin & Hygiène as part of their EPR-mandated mission, and service providers independently set their own prices when billing event organizers and establishments. The platform is positioned as a regulated public service rather than a commercial product — it has no funding rounds, no investors, no paying customers, and no headcount disclosed. Its strategic significance lies in being the only free, officially-backed national platform for off-home sorting in France, leveraging Citeo and Adelphe's institutional networks for promotion and credibility rather than paid distribution.

Core offering

QUITRI is a free, web-based digital platform that supports out-of-home waste sorting and recycling implementation in France. It serves four user categories — event organizers, establishment managers, waste collection service providers, and local authorities — by providing sorting guides, a customizable poster generator, a library of over 150 pictograms, geographic matching with referenced service providers, an engagement charter with branded 'engagé Quitri' recognition, and a financial support simulator for the out-of-home recovery program.

Product overview

QUITRI is a free, web-based platform operated by French eco-organisms Citeo and Adelphe that serves as a toolbox for implementing waste sorting outside the home. The platform operates as a unified system with multiple integrated modules: a core web platform for user onboarding and project management, a poster generator for creating custom sorting signage, a visual bank with over 150 pictograms, a commitment charter (Charte d'engagement) with branded badges, a service provider matching system (Mise en relation), an out-of-home recovery feature (Reprise hors foyer), and an integrated Trions+ module for municipalities. The platform targets four user profiles—event organizers, establishment managers, service providers, and municipalities—facilitating connections between organizations seeking to implement sorting and waste collection service providers, while offering engagement tools like the 'engagé Quitri' macaron for promotional use.

Broad incumbents

• Suez: Major French and global waste management and recycling group with significant collection and sorting operations in France. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose service-provider partners are the entities Quitri's platform matches organizers with.
• Paprec Group: Leading France-headquartered recycling group operating across paper, plastics, metals, and complex waste streams. Comparable as a French recycling incumbent whose downstream processing capacity is the endpoint for much of the sorting that Quitri's matched providers enable.
• Veolia: Global waste management and environmental services incumbent with major French operations across collection, sorting, and recycling. Comparable as a broad player operating in the same end-to-end waste value chain that Quitri's matched service providers (e.g., via SMICTOM partnerships) sit inside.
• Derichebourg: French multinational operating environmental services including recycling, collection, and waste recovery. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose collection and recycling operations overlap with the provider ecosystem Quitri aggregates.
• Séché Environnement: French-listed waste management and environmental services group with collection, treatment, and recovery operations. Comparable as a broad incumbent operating service-provider functions similar to those Quitri connects organizers with.

Others

• Adelphe: Co-editor of Quitri and French eco-organisme for beverage and household packaging recycling. Shares the same Paris headquarters, governance, and EPR mandate that fund and shape Quitri's operations.
• Citeo: Primary parent and co-editor of Quitri, Citeo is the French eco-organisme for household packaging and paper recycling. Directly comparable because it funds, operates, and benefits from Quitri as its out-of-home sorting communication and matching layer.

Emerging players

• TooGoodToGo: Paris-headquartered digital marketplace that fights food waste by connecting consumers and businesses with surplus food. Comparable as a French product-led growth platform that addresses waste reduction via provider matching and engagement mechanics — a similar playbook to Quitri but focused on food rather than packaging.
