In France, during the 2019 fiscal year, the Group processed almost 450,000 tons of ELVs in its shredders. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) segment In France, WEEE is processed separately. For this waste stream, the flow recycling rates comply as a minimum with the specifications of the eco-organizations.

The Group's WEEE recycling sites are committed to a certification strategy in accordance with the European WEEELABEX standard. This label guarantees eco-organizations that our facilities carry out high-performance decontamination activities, achieve the established recycling and recovery rates and ensure the downstream traceability of final waste following processing. The recycling and recovery rates of the Group's different units are fully compliant with regulatory requirements.

In 2019, a new refrigeration large household appliance unit with an annual capacity of 15,000 tons was opened in the Bordeaux area. This new processing line also allows the recovery of hot water tanks. Until now, there was no industrial solution in France for extracting the greenhouse gases present in hot water tank insulation foam, and the tanks present specific shredding difficulties (strong sheet-metal, cylindrical shape, presence of limescale). The Group was also one of the pioneers for the reintegration of WEEE into the official collection circuit. Accordingly, in partnership with the ECOSYSTEM and ECOLOGIC) eco-organizations and under “Waste management” agreements, the Group has implemented WEEE sorting operations for batches of ferrous metals intended for shredding on most of its different operating sites (140 sites including 17 shredding sites). These so-called “missing” WEEE (as they are outside of the eco-organization process) are reintegrated into the official stream to be processed correctly in compliance with current regulations, and they are reported to eco-organizations. This activity, which complies with the French energy transition for green growth law, was initiated in 2019 for professional WEEEs. Again in this context, the Group entered into a partnership in September 2019 with the ECOLOGIC eco-organization to handle professional kitchens.

For the 2018/2019 fiscal year, the Group contributed to reintegrating over 41,000 tons of WEEE into the official processing stream, up 30% compared to the previous fiscal year. Overall, the Group process more than 190,000 tons of WEEE in its 11 specialist facilities in France. In line with this dynamic growth, the Group aims to increase its WEEE recycling capacity for the different streams by 2020/2021. Increase research efforts into the processing 1.6.1.2 of shredder residue Measures implemented to address this include: extracting plastic parts that can be recycled; p recovering the last metallic parts; p separating the fine particles that can be used as a sub-base in road p construction; preparing waste mixtures that are sufficiently standardized and p compliant with specifications, allowing them to be accepted as a solid recovered fuel source for cement works, boilers or other manufacturers wishing to no longer use fossil fuels.
