Recycling and recovery of hazardous wood waste — categories B and C.
Treated wood, classified as hazardous waste — including utility poles, railway sleepers, and outdoor-use timber — is contaminated with toxic substances and unsuitable for material recovery.
Treated with creosote or by autoclave, this wood must be incinerated in dedicated facilities to prevent the emission of polluting volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Our equipment fleet is made up of 18 tractor units and 5 excavators, all under three years old, meeting current environmental regulations.
The range includes log trucks, flatbed trailers, dump trucks, low-bed trailers, hook-lift carriers, and relay tractors, complemented by crawler and wheeled excavators with loading grabs, and loaders fitted with onboard weighing systems.
Located in Allier (03), our 33,000 m² facility is dedicated to the complete treatment and recovery of hazardous wood waste in three phases.
Collected wood is processed through two to four shredding stages to achieve the required particle size for energy recovery in outlets across the country, including cement factories and biomass plants.
The resulting wood chips are used as an alternative fuel to coal and petroleum coke.
All wood chips resulting from the shredding process are stored under cover in dedicated buildings.
The shredded material is then shipped in covered moving-floor containers to cement kilns or biomass facilities.
Thermal recovery is carried out in cement plants or biomass facilities, using well-proven and reliable processes that guarantee the total breakdown of complex organic compounds, the capture of heavy metals, and the neutralization of acids and pollutants in flue gases.
At cement plants and biomass facilities, we recover the shredded material for energy recovery, achieving:
-
Full destruction of even the most complex organic compounds
-
Stabilization of heavy metals
-
Neutralization of acids and pollutants in flue gases
