A local historical actor
The Sclavo Environment Group will celebrate its centenary in 2018. The company started in Nice with scrap metal and fabric. The family group, now managed by the fourth generation, then expanded into the management of all non-hazardous waste and then hazardous waste throughout the Côte d'Azur. Member of the Praxy network, it collaborates at national level with other SMEs in the waste management sector.
A tool dedicated to BPHU
For several years now, Sclavo Environnement has been dealing with the deconstruction of end-of-life pleasure craft (BPHU) at its existing approved sites. The company will now have a site entirely dedicated to their treatment. It has acquired a plot of land of almost 6000 m² in Fréjus, on which it will build a new building, equipped with adequate equipment. Part of the premises will be used for decontamination and another part for deconstruction. Sclavo's reinforcement and hazardous waste departments will contribute their experience to this new activity.
By relying on its eco-relays, Sclavo Environnement will be able to collect BPHU from the Italian border to Marseille.
Several million euros and new hires
"This new equipment represents an investment of several million euros. There will be hirings, but it is difficult to set a target. This will depend on the functioning of the sector. Our eco-pole BTP, created 3 years ago, has exceeded the target by 3 times! "explains Jimmy Humphreys, Sclavo Group Development Manager.
Preparing for EPR
Sclavo has many years of experience working with existing eco-organisations at national level. The group collaborated with APER and the Fédération des Industries Nautiques on discussions on the shipbreaking industry. He is therefore ready for the birth of EPR in boating. "Work on the site should begin in February 2018 and be completed in early 2019. The goal is to be ready for EPR in January 2019," says Jimmy Humphreys. The company aims to be able to deconstruct the existing BPHU stock and future end-of-life vessels.
