In partnership with Safer de l’Île-de-France, the ambitious project to rehabilitate the Plaine du Sempin is progressing. In the final phase of development, our teams are producing an innovative substrate on site to create fertile soil. This 100 % recycled substrate is made from a mixture of green waste compost and inert soil from the construction industry. Why fertile substrate? There are several reasons for recreating soil with fertile substrate : Circular: Produced from 100% recycled materials, the substrate recovers green waste and inert soil from the construction industry. This approach contributes to sustainable resource management and waste reduction. Ecological:
