The organic waste recycling market in France
Organic waste is a category of waste originating solely from living organisms, be they animals or plants. This detritus decomposes thanks to micro-organisms and bacteria, and can thus be recycled to produce various sources of energy or fertilizer. There are several ways of recycling this waste, the main ones being composting (aerobic digestion) and methanization (anaerobic digestion). The global waste treatment market is constantly expanding. The growth of the world's economies has mechanically led to an increase in the amount of waste produced. Treatment of this waste is therefore increasingly important.

The France is the 11th country in the European Union to produce the most waste per inhabitantwith an average of 539 kg/capita/year by 2022. Organic waste can be broken down into three main categories, which account for the vast majority of waste: green waste, food waste and sewage sludge. [Eurostat]
Recovering organic waste therefore requires collection at various levels. Several companies have specialized in this field, and according to the French Ministry of Ecology, local players are playing an increasing role in the management of bio-waste.
In a sector subject to stringent regulations, the prospects for development remain significant, particularly with the objectives of the law on ecological transition by 2025, which among other things calls for the sorting of food waste at source. According to Les Echos, new technologies, such as pyrogasification, are constantly renewing market opportunities.
