Waste management and circular economy

Solid waste management is a major challenge in environmental protection, exacerbated by changing consumption patterns. The increase in solid waste production, similar to that of wastewater due to growing consumption, highlights the urgency of acting for sustainable management of these residues. In this context, the circular economy is positioned as an innovative and necessary solution, allowing us to rethink our production and consumption practices in order to minimize waste and enhance resources.

Waste management and circular economy

For several decades, ALMADIUS staff has been actively involved in preserving the environment, seeking to reduce as much as possible the pollution generated, both by water and by solid waste. This desire has resulted, since 1997, in significant involvement in the field of solid waste management. Thanks to close collaboration with various economic operators, including companies and inter-municipalities, ALMADIUS has acquired valuable expertise, combining theoretical knowledge and operational practices.

Waste management expertise and services

ALMADIUS stands out for its ability to carry out complete studies, ranging from master plans to detailed technical studies for facilities such as Technical Landfill Centers (CET), Sorting Centers and Composting Centers and up to training for the operation of such facilities. This allows not only to design suitable treatment facilities, but also to integrate essential operating elements that take into account local socio-economic, geomorphological and behavioral specificities. The harmony between theoretical knowledge, engineering principles and practical operating realities constitutes ALMADIUS’ strength in the field of solid waste management.

Towards a circular economy

ALMADIUS’ approach is not limited to waste management, but is part of a broader vision of the circular economy. This involves not only treating waste responsibly, but also promoting reuse and recycling, thus contributing to the creation of a more sustainable society. By integrating these principles into its projects and operations, ALMADIUS asserts itself as a key player in the transition to an environmentally friendly economic model.

Although the Circular Economy is an essential element of our consumption systems, achieving it is nonetheless a significant challenge that cannot be limited to actions downstream from the consumer.

To achieve a circular economy, we must remain aware that actions upstream of consumers will also remain imperative, to limit complexities, harmonize materials as much as possible in order to increase the efficiency of recycling and reduce the cost as much as possible. The circular economy therefore remains an “economic” model that must also originate upstream of the consumer if we want to bring it all its effectiveness.

In summary, ALMADIUS combines technical expertise, practical expertise, innovation and commitment to sustainability to address the challenges of solid waste management within a circular economy. This integrated approach is essential to ensure a more sustainable future and reduce our collective ecological footprint.
