Veolia is committed to transforming waste into valuable resources through innovative recovery and recycling solutions. Our expertise spans a wide range of materials and processes, helping to conserve natural resources and reduce environmental impact. From plastics to hazardous waste, Veolia’s advanced techniques ensure that every resource is efficiently recovered and reused.
Materials Recovery and Recycling Overview
Materials Recovery
Recovering materials is essential for preserving natural resources. Veolia has developed advanced solutions that transform waste into certified secondary raw materials, positioning us as a leader in renewable resource production. By converting waste into valuable energy products, we help our clients achieve their sustainability goals while supporting a circular economy.
Recycling
At Veolia, we go beyond sorting by transforming sorted materials into valuable new products. Our recycling operations adhere to strict national standards, ensuring the recovery of high-purity materials from industrial baths, effluents, sludge, and other waste streams. By converting these materials into reusable resources, we support sustainability and reduce environmental impact.
Specific Waste Stream Recycling
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
Electronic waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams, and Veolia is at the forefront of its management. Our patented processes utilize cutting-edge technologies to identify and extract all plastic materials from WEEE, reducing them to 10-millimeter pieces. Our flexible, traceable, and high-recovery solutions provide reliable and sustainable recycling options for our customers.
Plastics Recycling
Veolia’s industrialized sorting processes ensure recycled plastic materials with purity rates exceeding 99%. Our advanced technologies accurately identify, separate, and certify various types of plastics, enabling manufacturers to implement closed-loop recycling systems. This not only reduces raw material costs but also enhances environmental stewardship. Discover more through our PlastiLoop program.

In industries like automotive, Veolia offers comprehensive recycling solutions for metallic sludge and liquid effluents. We expertly combine the recovery of metallic fractions with the regeneration of high-value machining oils. Our unparalleled expertise in solvent regeneration provides clients with a full-service solution—from supply to collection and regeneration—ensuring effective and sustainable reuse of materials.
Materials Sorting and Recycling
Veolia leads in developing innovative solutions for sorting and recycling a wide range of materials, including mixed non-hazardous waste. Our dedicated sorting centers and advanced technologies optimize the treatment and recovery of various waste types, such as paper, metal, wood, and more. By adhering to strict national standards, we ensure the recovery of valuable materials from industrial baths, effluents, sludge, and other waste streams. Additionally, we specialize in producing alternative fuels from hard-to-recycle waste, offering sustainable energy solutions for industrial use.
Organic Waste and Composting
Compost Production
Veolia improves the quality of organic soil conditioners through our innovative Aerocontrol process at composting facilities. This process accelerates compost maturation and ensures even fermentation, resulting in high-quality compost that supports agricultural production. Our solutions encompass the production of compost and other recycled materials, contributing to sustainable farming practices.
