Comment deux familles industrielles décarbonent les cimenteries

The major environmental challenge today? Decarbonization. And to achieve this, the energy transition is essential: goodbye to fossil fuels, hello to alternative energies, particularly energy recovery from waste. It is within this dynamic that the Alternative project was born, the result of a collaboration between two families: Vicat and Paprec. Two companies ready to commit together to decarbonizing the cement industry, combining their respective industrial cultures. ➽ About Paprec: Founded in 1994 and still majority-owned by the Petithuguenin family, Paprec has become the leading recycling company in France and one of the major European players in waste management and green energy production. In 30 years, the group has grown from 45 to 19,000 employees across more than 400 sites in 11 countries. Since its creation, the group has invested over €4 billion in its plants and technological infrastructure. In 2025, Paprec processed over 20 million tons of waste. The group's activities prevented the emission of 9.8 million tons of CO². ➽ Subscribe to our channel for more videos:    / paprec   ➽ Visit our website: https://www.paprec.com/ ➽ Find us also on: LinkedIn:   / paprec   Instagram:   / paprecgroup   Twitter:   / paprec_group   Facebook:   / pap.  .
