Veolia Environmental Services’ Know-how

Veolia Environmental Services is the world No.1 in waste management, the only company that handles all forms of waste, at every step in the waste management process. We manage liquid and solid, non hazardous and hazardous waste, from collection to disposal and recycling, for both the public and private sectors.


Our upstream waste management and logistics services include waste collection, sewage management, cleaning of public areas, offices and factories, maintenance of production equipment, soil remediation and waste management at industrial facilities.


Downstream, we carry out both basic and complex waste treatments:

  • We sort and prepare the raw materials in waste so that they can be reintroduced into an industrial process: this is called recycling or material recovery.
  • We convert organic matter into compost, for re-integration into the soil: this is called composting or agricultural recycling.
  • We treat waste in the most environmentally-friendly way we can, through landfilling or incineration.
  • We produce electric power or heat from landfilled or incinerated waste: this is called energy recovery.
