Recycling means taking part in a circular economy that aims to limit the extraction of new resources, while preserving soil, air and water.
Recycling PE and PP construction site waste is easy: Elyrev takes care of everything!
Chemical recycling of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) construction site waste offers an interesting solution for recovering plastics that cannot be processed using conventional recycling methods. The chemical recycling of plastics relies on technologies such as depolymerization (using solvents) or pyrolysis (heating in the absence of oxygen), which modify the chemical structure of polymers to return them to their monomer state. Although this process is still undergoing industrial development for PE and PP streams, several pilot projects are underway in France, with plans to ramp up production by the end of 2025.
Chemical recycling methods are still in their infancy, and so there is little certainty as to how long the recycled raw materials will last, and their quality over time. The French public authorities are studying these verification points (sénat.fr).
Mechanical recycling of PE and PP construction site waste remains the most widely used method of plastics recovery in Europe today. Mechanical recycling of plastics involves careful sorting, followed by mechanical shredding and washing to obtain "flakes". At the end of the process, plastic granules are obtained that can be reused as a secondary raw material. Mechanical recycling is the method used by Elyrev, the Elydan Group's recycling subsidiary. This technique is particularly effective for well-sorted waste with low levels of contamination.
Elyrev is the subsidiary of the Elydan Group, which focuses on the recycling of construction site waste and PE and PP. The recycling center is based in Signes, in the Var region of France, and operates nationwide thanks to a close-knit network of partners.
Elyrev's Valorely solution is a no-cost take-back service for your PE and PP bulky goods. When you use Elyrev's services, you're joining a network of highly experienced, weak and dedicated professionals. Join a network with strong commitments by using Elyrev's services.
The Elyrev team has a wide network of collection points, as well as collection bins that can be dispatched to your sites to facilitate the disposal of your PE and PP waste.
Elyrev regularly organizes a collection circuit to reduce clutter and improve material flow.
According to Elyrev, the circular economy consists in reintegrating end-of-life materials into new products, while ensuring compliance with quality standards. Raw materials can come from Elydan Group plants' production offcuts, from end-of-life agricultural pipes, or from wholesalers' unsold stocks.
