Reducing the environmental impact

Waste management and recycling

The general policy can be summed up in three precise points: limit waste at source, sort waste and ensure its final traceability, and lastly waste recovery as a resource. This policy ties in with the eco-design strategy for products. In 2008, waste management cost VINCI around €72 million.

Motorway concession companies in France have been introducing selective sorting in all services since 2003. They encourage their service companies to apply this same system. Waste is sorted and shipped to external recovery units and treatment is systematically tracked. They examine the use of recycled road surface products in the production of new surfaces that retain all the road's technical performance and durability.





With its 135 recycling units and over 8 million tonnes of materials recycled, Eurovia is still the European leader for the recycling of these products.
