Armed with its long experience in the world of recycling, the Wilmet Group provides you optimised solutions for an ecological management of your waste by transforming it into recycled raw materials. Read more Circular Economy The Circular economy designates an economic concept inspired by natural ecosystems that totally rethinks our way of producing and consuming. The Wilmet Group, aware of its role, is committed to a radical and lasting change in our economy. Read more Change is underway… Innovations, laws, projects… Each at their own level is aware of the deadlock we are rushing headlong at and is getting organised little by little to live in a lot more respectful way in relation to nature and the benefits it provides us. Follow the change day by day. We propose an overview of the different actions put in place around the world. Read more Industrial Ecology Currently only a limited proportion of the raw material consumed is used in the end product directly. The rest is either lost or transformed into a sub-product or waste. Industrial ecology as a whole looks to systematically add value to all waste, minimise material flow, reduce the intensity of the energy and the material by production unit, prolong products’ lifespan and favour such activities as re-using resources, repairing, reconditioning and recycling.

Our way of life has become ultra consumerist since the advent of the industrial age. Climate imbalance is threatening our civilisation following an overconsumption of fossil energy… All these phenomena are due to man and his disrespect of the nature that surrounds him. We are destroying our habitat without worrying about the consequences. Blinded by his rapidly changing evolution, man has forgotten that he cannot tame nature. This is why for the past few years a new economic model has seen the light, commonly called Circular Economy”. Sustainable development, jobs, local economy; the benefits of this new model are innumerable. A new industrial revolution is underway Wilmet, circular economy player Re-use: Give objects a new purpose 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. Read more Recycling : sorting waste at source 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. Read more Repair : fight against the programmed obsolescence 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. Read more Re-employment: developing the market for second hand” 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.
