SUEZ and POINT.P, Saint-Gobain’s subsidiary, join forces to facilitate the collection of building-site waste
Rolled out on POINT.P sites, these waste collection points enable customers - professionals and individuals - to deposit up to 11 different kinds of waste flows thus covering the vast majority of building-site waste. SUEZ and POINT.P guarantee the traceability of this waste, its recycling and recovery. To date, 11 POINT.P sites* have set up these waste collection points. By the end of the year, SUEZ and POINT.P will make an assessment of this pilot initiative and will determine together how to pursue this collaboration.
SUEZ teams share their waste sorting and recycling expertise, as well as they train all POINT.P teams so these ones can independently manage these new generation waste collection centres in their distribution sites.
I am proud of our partnership with POINT.P, which aims to better recycle and reuse building-site waste. Each year, this sector generates over 46 million tons of waste, 67% of which is yet recovered. With our new waste collection points, we aim to significantly increase this rate by exceeding the regulations that currently set a target rate of 70%, as well as anticipating the targets set out in the anti-waste bill.”
