At present, the Wilmet Group has four subsidiaries, each active in the collection, sorting and packaging of waste.

Each site is incorporated, operates as an independent unit, and is headed by a manager who is both the sales manager.

All the subsidiaries are headed by the managing director Mr Colas, assisted by his board.

The Wilmet Group is above all a family group that wants to work locally upstream and downstream.

All waste treated on our sites comes from industrial activities situated 200 km away from our collection sites at most.

Each ton of waste is manually sorted to have total control over the homogeneity of the batches but also to leave what may be the classic recycling circuit (2^nd hand, repairs, upcycling…)

We talk about Re-use in the field of waste when it involves transforming an object to give it a new function instead of throwing it away.

We thus give it a second life and a second purpose, which considerably increases the object’s lifespan and reduces the number of discarded objects.

By definition, it involves a collection, sorting and treatment procedure that allows materials that were composed of a similar product reaching the end of its life cycle to be reintroduced into the production cycle.

Recycling has two major ecological consequences:

• The reduction of the volume of waste and therefore the pollution it causes.
• The protection of natural resources, the recycled material replacing the one we should have extracted.

Recently the Wilmet Group formed collaborations with companies with a social purpose that repair certain machines dropped off to be destroyed.

As a consequence, we are shortening the loop as much as possible.  Without going as far as a complete destruction, these machines are dismantled, the breakdown is looked for and once repaired the machine is sold at a knock-down price.

The energy savings of such a procedure in relation to the classic circuit (crushing, recovery of components, manufacturing of recycled parts…) is huge and as economical in resources.  This is why it will always be better to repair than to recycle.

We talk about re-employment when an object passes from an initial user who no longer has a use for it to another user, while keeping its primary function, which allows the lifespan to be extended considerably.
