ADEME supports private biowaste treatment operators with investment in sanitisation, creating or adapting composting platforms and soft-mobility collection; the aid can reach 60% of eligible investment costs.
This aid funds the equipment and investment of private operators that collect and treat biowaste. It targets in particular composting platforms, sanitisation and low-impact (soft mobility) collection; it should not be confused with the separate aid for preliminary studies.
