Choose an environmentally-friendly, socially-responsible and local recovery system
Since January 1, 2024, all businesses are required to recycle their biowaste according to the French law. Numerous solutions are offered to Lyon’s professionals who wish to switch to compost. Not only does it allow you to reduce waste, you reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well since compost is very effective at capturing carbon!
Les Alchimistes
Les Alchimistes is a team of two entrepreneurs from Lyon who joined forces in 2018 to offer a new service, the only one of its kind in the city of Lyon: the collection of restaurant organic waste and its composting in a 50 kilometre radius. Today, they also provide their service for professional events and to various professionals such as hoteliers.
Their regular collections are carried out by bicycle or truck, according to your needs, and your waste bin is replaced every time by a clean and disinfected one. The collected waste is then composted near the city in order to limit transport pollution and is used to enrich the soil and contribute to the city’s revegetation.
In line with the company’s social conviction, they work alongside EmerJean, a company from Villeurbane, in order to favour the employment of individuals that are far from the job market. Rates for professionals are calculated according to weight: the less you produce, the less you pay!
