To date, more than 125 million plastic bottles have been recovered in the 100 Réco® kiosks installed in France.

Réco®, rewarding ecological gestures

SUEZ created the Réco® kiosks to encourage the recycling of plastics and to meet the needs of industries. These collection points, which are installed in supermarket carparks, or indoors in offices or canteens in their mobile version, enable citizens to deposit their plastic bottles and other recipients.

Their environmentally-friendly actions and their contribution to the recovery of their plastic waste are rewarded in the form of vouchers that can be used in a partner store.

These bottles are collected and recycled in collaboration with the PLAST lab® laboratory, which analyses and characterises the recovered plastics, and then develops new ranges of plastics that meet industry s needs.

This innovation makes both consumers and businesses aware of the value of plastic waste, which will be a precious resource in the future.
