Joint venture for flat glass recycling in France
Material solution company Sibelco and waste collection and logistics group Mineris Environnement have created Recyverre, a joint venture for the collection and recycling of flat glass in France. In turn, Recyverre has acquired GIREV, one of France’s leading recyclers of flat glass. The combined entity will employ approximately 70 people.
The joint venture brings together Sibelco’s flat glass recycling capabilities at its site in Crouy (Aisne, France) with Mineris’s expertise and capabilities in flat glass collection and transportation.
Added to this will be GIREV’s plants in Châtenois (Vosges) and Distroff (Moselle). The combined entity will enable efficiencies in the recycling value chain for flat glass waste and will provide producers of flat glass, glass wool and glass beads with a product portfolio of secondary material.
