ADEME supports public and private players in Corsica and the overseas territories with structuring studies and investment in waste management: waste collection sites, sorting/transfer centres, composting platforms, recovery equipment and treatment solutions adapted to the local context.
In Corsica and the overseas territories, waste sorting, transfer, composting and treatment infrastructure must be adapted to each territory’s constraints. This aid supports studies and then structuring investments that improve waste collection, sorting, recovery and final treatment.

What the scheme covers
Studies and investment to create or renovate waste collection sites, sorting and transfer centres, business sorting centres, composting platforms and equipment for sorting, recovery or final treatment of waste, according to the categories accepted by ADEME’s framework.
Amount and funding terms
The rate and cap depend on the type of project, the applicant and the eligible costs set out in ADEME’s 2026 conditions. The official page gives no single amount; the application must separate preliminary studies from investment and be validated with the Corsica or overseas regional office.
How to apply
Contact ADEME’s Corsica or overseas regional office beforehand, as recommended on the official page. Prepare an assessment of flows, existing capacity, the technical scenario and a budget separating studies from investment, then apply via AGIR with the required documents.
