GENERAL INDUSTRIES’ industrial adventure is still in its youth, with the creation of the 1.08 RECYCLAGE plant. The meeting and subsequent minority investment by the TERTIUM entrepreneurial fund in early 2022 represents a major milestone.

Here, we are backed up!

“Alone we go faster, together we go further”: this proverb perfectly applies to our business project. Because creating from scratch, in France, a facility that will revolutionize the treatment of WEEE plastic waste in the long term, requires major investments.
