Wherever possible, the Derichebourg Group prefers to purchase the land on which it operates its Environmental Services provision. The Group owns, via Derichebourg Immobilier and its subsidiaries, over 4,000,000 m 2 of land used by the Environmental Services business. In view of its long-standing ownership of certain land, there may be unrealized capital gains between their value and their historical cost. During the transition to IFRS standards, the market value of land at January 1, 2004 was considered to be the cost in certain cases. A variance (net of deferred taxes) of €41 million was recognized in shareholders’ equity and in property, plant and equipment. In the Recycling business, the value of the assets declared to insurance companies is approximately €1,000 million. Research and development business 1.1.1.4 Environmental Services is continuing its efforts to increase its returns on the processing of end-of-life consumer goods. One of the aims is to succeed in recovering all or part of the shredding residues either in the form of materials or energy. The objective is to reduce the volumes sent to landfill by 20% by 2022 (for equal volume treated by shredders). Durable businesses have been developed to deal with used tires, certain types of plastic and part of the shredding residues, which are turned into alternative fuels. Derichebourg Environnement now produces 31,000 tons per year of alternative fuels for cement plants.
