… and is committed to local, clean and renewable energy!
Le Graton Lyonnais has entered into a partnership with Méthavarèze & Isère BioDéchets who are dedicated to the production of local, green gas and the treatment of bio-waste. An initiative that is totally aligned with Graton Lyonnais’ commitment to the environment and the circular economy.
The interest of methanization for treating waste is twofold for Le Graton Lyonnais:
- Environmental: firstly, the production of green gas reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and the production of natural compost for use on local agricultural land avoids the use of chemical fertilisers and improves the soil. It also reduces their carbon footprint thanks to the optimisation of their logistics, greatly reducing the transport distance of waste products, as Le Graton Lyonnais is less than 5 kilometres from the Méthavarèze & Isère BioDéchets facilities.
- Economic: it supports a circular economy by integrating the transformation of waste as the final stage in a virtuous 100% local model. All resources are used efficiently and sustainably.
« Nous voulions depuis longtemps trouver une solution de valorisation de nos déchets de fabrication ; s’inscrivant dans une démarche éco-responsable et vertueuse. La mise en place de ce circuit-court répond à toutes nos attentes initiales et nous permet d’accroître considérablement notre RSE (Responsabilité Sociétale et Environnementale). »
Xavier Lacroix, directeur du Graton Lyonnais
