Collect and compost organic waste from professionals, locally and on short circuits MoreLess
Les Alchimistes is a social enterprise that operates in the waste management sector, with a specific focus on the collection and composting of urban food waste in France. The company's business model is structured around a local, circular economy. It provides a service to businesses, such as restaurants, by collecting their organic waste.
This collected bio-waste is then processed at local composting sites. The end-product, a nutrient-rich compost, is then made available to nourish soils, completing the circular model. This approach not only addresses waste management challenges in urban centers but also creates a valuable agricultural input.
As an 'Entreprise Solidaire d’Utilité Sociale' (ESUS), the company's core mission is centered on generating a positive social and environmental impact, rather than solely on profit maximization. It operates in various French territories, including Lyon, Paris, and Normandy, tailoring its collection services to the specific needs of each urban environment.
