“Terenvie is an alternative that allows our customers to choose the circular economy approach to reclaim their contaminated soil. We guarantee that the materials entrusted to us are primarily reused in the production of Vicat cement, but also in backfilling former quarries or in road construction. We turn contaminated soil into opportunities!”
Vincent Desroches
Director of Terenvie
The first platform for the complete recycling of polluted soil
Born out of a partnership between SERPOL, a recognized expert in the field of environmental remediation, and the cement manufacturer VICAT, TERENVIE is a platform for the recovery of non-inert materials. As such, it is fully aligned with the objectives of the Energy Transition for Green Growth Act.
As such, TERENVIE offers a solution that is both ethical and environmentally friendly to all producers and owners of excavated soil.
Its goal: to transform an environmental challenge into a sustainable opportunity for local communities.
The Circular Economy: Building a Better Tomorrow!
Soil generated by construction and civil engineering projects is first processed or pre-processed at the TERENVIE facility. Specifically, these operations include sorting, transshipment, and consolidation of materials.
Next, the recoverable materials are mixed with quarry aggregates, partially replacing natural resources. They are thus used to produce the cement needed to make concrete.
This eco-material, which complies with all applicable technical and environmental standards, is ultimately reused in reconstruction projects: buildings, engineering structures, roads, and street furniture. In this way, TERENVIE creates a virtuous, short-cycle process, from demolition to reconstruction.
Land refertilization
At the same time, TERENVIE is developing another solution for resource recovery: land refertilization. This approach aims to actively contribute to urban greening and the fight against urban heat islands.
As part of this initiative, the company is implementing a sustainable local cycle. Excavated soil from construction sites is redirected directly to new parks and green spaces located nearby. This solution addresses the scarcity of fertile land while minimizing transportation between demolition sites and greening projects.
As a result, TERENVIE is expanding its circular economy offerings by producing fertile soil from treated soil, primarily through rhizodegradation. This soil, sourced from local supply chains, serves as a substitute for agricultural land—which we must preserve. Consequently, it significantly reduces the environmental and financial impacts associated with transportation.
