France/Circular economy. Agyre and Tri'n'Collect, major players in France, combine their expertise
Agyre and Tri'n'Collect, specialist waste management consultancies, combine their expertise to accelerate the circular economy, particularly in the Eure-et-Loir region.
Agyre and Tri'n'collect have just signed a partnership agreement with the aim of deploying and accelerating the circular economy in the construction sector.
The partnership is already up and running on a major project in the Eure-et-Loir region: the energy renovation of several schools, alongside Bouygues Bâtiment.
Two nationwide entities join forces to manage construction site waste
The partnership between Agyre - which is housed at CERIB (Centre d'études et de recherches de l'industrie du béton) in Epernon - and Tri'n'Collect represents the association of a leading French construction waste management company.sente l'association d'un bureau d'études spécialisé dans l'économie circulaire pour la construction avec un spécialiste de la gestion des déchets de chantier.
"A strong alliance between two national entities pursuing the same objective: to deploy and accelerate the circular economy in the building sector", say the two structures.
The stakes of this synergy are high, given the acceleration of environmental regulations in the construction sector (RE2020, AGEC law, extended REP PMCB), with the requirements and needs of players in the sector increasing to meet the challenges they impose:
Sustainable sourcing, reuse and recycling rates, integration of low-carbon materials, eco-design of buildings, waste traceability... It's time for a paradigm shift, and fast. Although strongly encouraged by regulations, these multiple challenges lead to a multiplication of interlocutors who are already difficult to identify, and initial ambitions can sometimes fail to find outlets.

The circular economy, Agyre's core business
At Agyre, the circular economy represents nothing less than the mobilization of nine pillars, including waste management, served by a systemic approach.
In our day-to-day work as circular economy project managers, we have to find ways of recycling all our Products, Equipment, Materials and Waste.Products, Equipment, Materials and Waste (PEMD) generated by a project and identified via a PEMD diagnostic carried out upstream of all operations. This is followed by territory and channel diagnostics to find the right contacts and co-organize careful disposal. Having a partner specializing in the recovery of WEEE is the ideal way to offer our customers a turnkey solution, and to streamline our operations in a highly operational way.

Helping the construction industry
Created in 2019, Tri'n'Collect's aim is to optimize waste management on construction sites, not only to help those involved in the industry to comply with regulations, but also to help them to reduce their environmental footprint.to comply with regulations, but also to offer "an intervention designed to limit costs, operational constraints and the environmental impact of the project. The company supports building professionals with innovative solutions for sorting at source, collection and recycling - all with the aim of recovering more than 90% of waste from each worksite", explains the company.
Tri'n'Collect operates through eighteen branches spread over the western half of France, including the Paris region, offering a tailor-made sorting, collection and recovery service for construction waste.
For example, we manage the entire EMP process, from disposal to recovery, including the creation of a traceability sheet. This partnership with Agyre will enable us to quantify and manage waste more efficiently. With an upstream diagnosis of all the PEMD [products, equipment, materials, waste - editor's note] present on a site, we save valuable time for our teams.cious time saved for our teams, but also a better qualification of the PEMD and therefore a higher valorization thanks to potentially more relevant outlets.

Supporting the construction industry
For its part, Agyre supports construction companies in integrating a circular economy approach into their projects. "This implementation is based on an assessment of the ambitions of the project, its players and the territory, in order to identify and activate all the levers for the implementation of more virtuous practices (reuse channels, mixed use, etc.).reuse, mixed construction solutions, eco-designed buildings, reversibility, biomimicry...)" adds the engineering firm.
Agyre is involved from the project phase through to building delivery, providing a range of services from PEMD diagnostics to training, including assistance in drafting the DCE and site supervision.
Already in place in Eure-et-Loir for energy-efficient building renovation
A partnership that is already up and running on a major project in the Eure-et-Loir region: the energy renovation of several schools alongside Bouygues Bâtiment.
The project involves carrying out PEMD diagnostics, implementing a re-use approach, recovering waste, activating local channels, creating synergies between the various establishments and providing project management assistance throughout the project.
The project generates an average of 110 tonnes of waste per secondary school. This waste is primarily reused on-site or off-site or, when reuse is not an option, sorted selectively and recycled through local channels.
On the first college under construction, 340 light fittings were reused in-situ, and 1,100 m² of false ceiling framing destined for removal was reused.and 145 tonnes of rolled gravel reused ex-situ by a local company. The first operation also enabled local associations to benefit from available resources through the donation of furniture (lockers, laboratory benches, bleachers).
Agyre and Tri'n'Collect
With a national scope, the alliance of Agyre's and Tri'n'Collect's expertise aims to intensify the circular economy and, in turn, benefit the entire chain of players in the sector that produces the most waste in France.
