A Strategic Facility

The Romainville multi-stream center is the first high-capacity center created in France. It combines three entities:
– a selective waste sorting center,
– a residual household waste transfer center,
– a waste disposal site.
Modernized in 2015, the sorting center is now adapted to the expanded sorting instructions covering all plastic packaging and small metals.

A Site in Transition

Apart from the renovated sorting center, the rest of the existing installations are aging. Their reconstruction is necessary to meet the growing needs of the territories, new waste treatment regulations, and to enable better integration into an urban fabric undergoing significant transformation.

A Project with Multiple Stakes

The reconstruction of the center aims to:
– Maintain a local facility for waste reception from the Romainville watershed,
– Comply with regulatory changes on packaging and bio-waste sorting,
– Strengthen the facility’s territorial anchoring within the Syctom network.

Key Features of the Future Center

– River transport to reduce the number of trucks on roads,
– New sorting and transfer capacities, including food waste,
– A center of excellence for the circular economy, integrating a waste disposal site and a reuse center in cooperation with Est Ensemble and the cities of Romainville and Bobigny,
– Environmental and architectural exemplarity, asserting a strong ambition for the metropolis of tomorrow.
