By the first half of 2026, Tryon Environnement should commission a methanization unit to promote the sustainable management of biowaste, in Limoges (Haute-Vienne). Work is due to begin in July 2025 to build a 3,500 m² site.
The new infrastructure will require around 6 million euros of investment, mainly equity, for the company which achieved a turnover of around 2.34 million euros in 2023.
“This project is in response to the obligation to sort food biowaste at source for all, professionals and individuals since January 1, 2024. This unit represents a major investment which will actively contribute to meeting the requirement to reduce waste. “environmental impact of organic waste on the territory of the metropolis”, indicates Tryon Environnement in a press release.
Ultimately, up to 10,000 tonnes of food biowaste could be processed each year. The objective of this methanization is to produce biogas and digestate, an organic fertilizer for surrounding farms. “In one year, our unit will be able to power 40 buses running on CNG,” says the company in its press release.
Between 10 and 15 permanent jobs should be created to ensure the operation of this unit while this company currently has 19.5 full-time equivalent employees. And if the collection of bio-waste will take place, initially, from professionals, an application for public procurement to take charge of that of households represents a medium-term objective, according to the communications department of Tryon Environnement.
