The Solution

The Alchimistes propose an all-in solution, for businesses and citizens, in order to collect and locally recycle bio-waste into compost.

It offers three folds solutions with first the training of staff and people to improve biowaste sorting at the source, second a biowaste collection ensuring a full traceability of all the material being collected, and third a local composting, avoiding long transport and favoring soil enrichment.
