The project to recover excavated land and sediments in Hauts-de-France continues

Transforming excavated soil and sediment into resources: a major step forward for the circular economy in Hauts-de-France!

Today, 65% of waste produced in the Hauts-de-France region comes from the construction sector, with significant volumes of excavated soil and sediment. Faced with this challenge, Neo-Eco, the Hauts-de-France Region, and its partners are developing innovative solutions for their recovery.

🎯 Objective: Transform these materials into eco-materials and eco-products, in accordance with the AGEC and LTECV laws.

⇒ Reduce waste storage and limit the extraction of natural resources.

⇒ Stimulate the local economy and structure a sustainable circular sector.

⇒ But above all, deploy an approach that can be replicated throughout the region.

Where are we now?

🟢 Phase 1: Materials study to identify the best recovery pathways. Characterization of the excavated soil and sediments is nearing completion.

⚪ Phase 2: Formulation to validate technical and environmental viability.

A project supported by Europe

We are supported by a generous grant of €2,026,073 from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). This funding will help us strengthen our team, invest in technology, and bring ambitious ideas to life.

Many thanks to the Hauts-de-France Region for their trust and support. We also thank our partners, IMT Nord-Europe and CD2E, for their collaboration on this project. Their expertise and commitment are essential to its success.

And finally, congratulations to Maurane and Clément for their exemplary leadership of this project. Their dedication, rigor, and ability to coordinate the various stages are essential assets for the successful completion of this initiative.

We will keep a close eye on this project to help structure a circular economy in the construction industry. 🔥
