At the rate that modern lifestyles are depleting natural resources, it is critical to move beyond preserving resources to finding ways to replenish them. By reinventing its business activities, Veolia is making it possible to create new secondary resources to offset the growing scarcity of natural primary materials.
Through innovation in recycling and waste recovery, Veolia contributes to extending the life span and usage value of extracted resources. With its eco-design expertise, Veolia supports organisations to embrace circular economy, from creating manufacturing processes to the production of new materials from transformed waste.
