In France, public and private stakeholders in construction and land development face a highly regulated context in the management of construction, demolition, and excavation waste.

Thanks to its expertise and integrated industrial system, Cemex France manages the entire process, from the collection of inert waste to its recycling.

Collected demolition and excavation waste is transported to our processing platforms from the demolition sites or from the excavation sites. If the site is close to a waterway, the waste can be loaded directly onto our barges. It is transported to one of our multiservice platforms in the Paris region. For other sites, it is taken to one of our 11 urban ports. Loads are carefully controlled, and traceability is guaranteed. Waste is sorted and sent to approved recycling channels to give it a second life on construction sites. Depending on its characteristics, the demolition and excavation material is transported by river to approved recycling channels or for quarry rehabilitation. At the selected Cemex quarry, reception and traceability are meticulously managed. The excavated material is then used to backfill the areas at the end of the operation, in strict compliance with the site rehabilitation plan.

The emptied barge is reloaded with aggregates and returns to supply CEMEX’s ready-mix concrete plants in the Paris region.
