Description

The City of Avrillé, in Maine-et-Loire, France, has adopted the innovative Fossilizator® technology, developed by Valolithe's consortium, to tackle non-recyclable mixed waste. With a new sorting center and the Fossilizator®, Avrillé transforms waste into fossilized materials, diverting it from landfills and reducing its environmental impact. This process supports resource efficiency and contributes to a circular economy, setting a sustainable example for other municipalities to follow. Avrillé's commitment to eco-friendly waste management promotes a cleaner, greener future for its residents.

Impact & Result

  • The Fossilizator® technology stores 337 kg of CO2 equivalent per tonne of aggregates, significantly reducing the city's carbon footprint and contributing to its sustainability goals by diverting waste from landfills and reducing the environmental impact of waste management.
  • The Fossilizator® process helps Avrillé reduce waste disposal costs by transforming non-recyclable mixed waste into valuable fossilized materials, which can be used in construction or other industries, contributing to a circular economy and creating economic value from waste.

Solution Spotlight

Accelerated Fossilization process transforms non-recyclable, non-inert and non-hazardous waste into aggregates suitable for use in construction, known as Anthropocite®. By implementing this technology on an industrial scale, Néolithe addresses environmental urgency by creating a new waste treatment approach for non-recyclable refuse. Accelerated Fossilization converts these materials into aggregates while trapping the carbon from the processed waste instead of releasing it into the atmosphere. If Néolithe were to treat all the waste generated in France annually, we could reduce France's carbon footprint by 7%.
