The values that drive us

Challenge

Daring to imagine, design and, most importantly, implement game-changing innovations: that’s our definition of a challenge. A daily challenge, because every day is different from the one before when you are determined to push back the accepted boundaries.

Responsiveness

For our customers and suppliers, and among employees, we conduct our business with a constant commitment to serving each other and, more generally, the society we live in.

Relations

Know-how and skills are essential in our highly demanding specialist areas. Transparency, courtesy and keeping one’s word are the keys to trust, which forms the basis of an effective and lasting relationship.

Transformation

The waste sector is both one of transformation and one undergoing transformation. For our part, we anticipate market expectations and offer new solutions that are economically, industrially and environmentally successful.

A word from the President

First of all, thank you for your interest in General Industries!

I am sure that, like us, you want to live in a world that is seeking to resolve its pollution issues, to reduce its CO2 emissions, and much more. This is what our teams have been doing every day since 1987, and I would like to thank them for it! With a commitment to monitoring every batch of goods exported, to ensure they are recycled in the right conditions, traced and flawlessly. The Basel Convention was an opportunity to be seized, as it enables us to recycle domestically and to create jobs, which is what we are doing with our first 1.08 Recyclage plant in Blyes, near Lyon, which produces recycled plastic material that is ready to be reused.

And this is just the beginning of this amazing adventure to recycle here and now!
