What our bin really weighs.
According to ADEME, in 2024 each French person produced 223 kg of residual household waste per year. Yet two thirds of that waste could be recovered. Our role: turning that potential into concrete reality, stream by stream.

A local player in waste recovery.
Based in Coignières, in the heart of the Yvelines, SOVADIS was born from a simple conviction: business waste management deserves a local partner that is responsive and demanding. Since 2014, we have operated as close as possible to the industrial sites, businesses and local authorities of the Paris region — right where the logistical and regulatory challenges really play out.
Our strength is an end-to-end controlled chain — collection, sorting, transport, material and energy recovery — run by teams who know the Paris region's terrain. This integration lets us optimise your rounds, secure your regulatory traceability and maximise the recycling rate of every stream.
Beyond the service itself, we commit as a genuine CSR partner: a single point of contact, reliable indicators and a shared ambition — turning your waste into a resource that serves the circular economy and local regions.
