Citeo is a mission-led business set up in 1992 by companies in the fast-moving consumer goods and retail sectors to reduce the environmental impact of their packaging and paper waste by proposing solutions for waste reduction, reuse, sorting and recycling.

To tackle the environmental crisis and speed up the changes that are vitally needed, Citeo seeks to encourage and support economic stakeholders in developing production, retail and consumer practices that preserve resources and protect biodiversity and the climate.

Derichebourg Environnement offers a comprehensive range of services to the industrial sector, local authorities and individuals, covering the collection, recycling and recovery of end-of-life equipment and consumer goods. These services are complemented by household waste collection, urban cleaning and the management of waste and sorting centres for local authorities.

With a network of nearly 300 collection and recycling facilities worldwide, Derichebourg Environnement produces several million tonnes of recycled raw materials each year, thereby contributing to the decarbonisation of production methods and helping our territories gain independence in terms of strategic resources.

Recognised by eco-organisations, manufacturers and local authorities, Derichebourg Environnement demonstrates its expertise in waste management and recycling on a daily basis, as well as the strength of its commitment to a circular economy – of which it was one of the pioneers and is now a leading player.
