Séché Environnement

Séché Environnement, also known as the Séché Group, is a French waste management company that specializes in the collection, sorting, treatment, and valorization of both hazardous and non‑hazardous waste streams. Its core services cover industrial waste, municipal solid waste, healthcare waste, and special waste streams such as solvents, oils, and contaminated soils, with a strong emphasis on recycling and material recovery to reduce landfill dependence. The group operates treatment facilities that include physical‑chemical plants, biological units, incineration with energy recovery, and landfill sites designed to meet strict environmental standards. It serves a diverse client base ranging from large manufacturing firms and public authorities to small businesses and healthcare institutions, offering tailored solutions that address regulatory compliance and sustainability objectives. In addition to waste processing, Séché Environnement provides consulting and engineering support for waste minimization strategies and circular economy initiatives.

The company’s headquarters are located in Laval, Mayenne, France, and it maintains a operational footprint that extends across several regions in France as well as into other European countries and parts of Africa. Séché Environnement employs several thousand staff members and processes millions of tonnes of waste annually, reflecting its significant scale within the waste management sector. A distinguishing attribute of the group is its longstanding expertise in hazardous waste treatment, complemented by certifications such as ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 that underscore its commitment to environmental and safety management. The organization is structured as a publicly traded entity listed on Euronext Paris under the ticker SCHP, with the Séché family retaining a substantial majority stake and influencing its strategic direction. While the group comprises various subsidiaries focused on specific activities—such as Séché Eco‑Industries for industrial waste and Séché Santé for healthcare waste—it remains unified under a common governance framework that emphasizes operational continuity and responsible waste stewardship.
