Composite Recycling lands ambitious Veolia Partnership

Veolia RVD Centre-Ouest specializes in the collection and treatment of non-hazardous waste from local authorities and industries. Continuously seeking new recycling channels, the group aims to offer local solutions to its composite material-producing clients. Ecublens-based Composite Recycling SA brings its innovative thermolysis technology to the partnership, transforming composite waste into high-quality reusable materials such as fibers and pyrolysis oil.

Marie GLORENNEC, Head of Innovation at Veolia RVD Centre-Ouest, stated: “Our work involves developing innovative circular economy solutions based on industrial collaborations. These projects aim to create new recycling pathways and provide our local industries with sustainable alternatives and recycled materials for their manufacturing operations.”

Establishing a new fiberglass production waste recycling scheme

This exclusive partnership will focus on establishing a new fiberglass production waste recycling scheme over a 6 to 12-month period at a Veolia RVD Centre-Ouest site in Loire-Atlantique (44), mapping the region’s waste streams and demonstrating the efficiency of Composite Recycling’s thermolysis-based recycling solution.

The project will proceed in three key phases:

• Phase 1: Installation of Composite Recycling’s first fiberglass recycling unit in Loire-Atlantique, capable of processing up to 2 tons of composite waste daily.
• Phase 2: Use of Phase 1 results to scale a regional composite waste processing network.
• Phase 3: Launch and large-scale operation of composite waste recycling in western France.

Guillaume Perben, CEO of Composite Recycling, commented: “This partnership marks a significant milestone for Composite Recycling, bringing us closer to our goal of industrializing our solution to offer real, scalable sustainability solutions to the market.”

Christelle Morançais, President of the Pays de la Loire Region, added: “The Pays de la Loire Region is proud to host this high-value-added project contributing to regional development and sustainability. This is why we have provided significant support for it.”
