Laurent Mogno, Chairman of the ECT Group, talks to Catherine Bernard of the Journal du Grand Paris. This exchange gives Laurent Mogno the opportunity to go back over the definition of “inert soil”.

A municipal vegetable garden for more nature in the city The new municipal kitchen garden will cover an area of 5,390 m². This sustainable market-gardening zone is intended for the city’s school restaurants.The vegetable garden is optimized by the use of excavated soil.

Firstly, his visit to the Parc de l’Arboretum, in Moissy-Cramayel (77), shaped by ECT from inert soil from Ile de France building sites. Then, his discovery of our biological treatment center for hydrocarbon-impacted soil in La Courneuve (93), the first of its kind to be entirely
