Studies for the Creation, Extension or Modernisation of Business Waste Sorting Centres and Professional Waste Drop-off Facilities
ADEME supports public and private players with local feasibility studies prior to creating, extending or modernising commercial waste sorting centres and business waste collection sites, in the regions listed for 2026.
Before building or expanding a commercial waste sorting centre, a local study must demonstrate the available volumes, the capacity needed and the recovery outlets. ADEME funds this decision-making stage for sorting centre projects and waste collection sites reserved for businesses.
