2025 ANNUAL REPORT
New levers
for collection
In 2025 , CYCLEVIA continued its action to improve collection and better
respond to the realities of the f ield . The result ? A collection rate of 57 . 27 %
— a level which continues to exceed the regulatory objective of 53 % f ixed
for 2025 . In the face of the progression of PCB
*
pollution , the producer
responsibility organisation has taken measures to improve their treatment .
It has also improved the tracking of f lows through new dashboards and ,
in collaboration with three key brands in the car maintenance and retail
sectors , has trialled a collection solution aimed at private individuals .

In 2025 , within the con -
text of the financial
aspect of EPR , CYCLE -
VIA added new dash -
boards , accessible to its users , via
its Lubrec platform . Updated as data
becomes available , this system replaces
manual data transmission and offers
users a regular overview of their activity .
Collection - transfer station and treatment
operators can consequently visualise , on
a month - by - month basis , their tonnages
collected and delivered , their regener -
ation rates and the financial support
received . All this useful information helps
them to monitor their f lows more ef fec -
tively and compare them with the data
recorded by CYCLEVIA . Several operators
have already expressed an interest in
these new tools . Their implementation
has also led CYCLEVIA to further ref ine
its work on data quality and reporting , to
provide reliable , clear information that is
directly useful for managing operations .

pollution :
a better identif ied increase
On the rise during recent years , PCB pollution
levels remained unchanged in 2025 . This sit -
uation can namely be explained by obsolete
transformers — some of which still contain oils
which have been prohibited for several decades
— reaching their end - of - life . With a lifespan of 50 to 60 years , this
equipment is now provoking pollution in companies which are not
always prepared to manage it . This consistent trend in reported
pollution incidents can also be explained by the introduction of a
f inancial support scheme by CYCLEVIA , as part of its accreditation ,
for cases where the source cannot be identif ied By providing
reassurance to waste collectors in such situations it encourages
a more comprehensive reporting of incidents observed in the
f ield Faced with operations that may involve six f igure sums the
involved companies now know that they can turn to the producer
responsibility organisation for assistance CYCLEVIA then funds
the intervention of a specialist organisation which is the only
body capable of handling this waste This f inancial support helps
to bring to light situations that were previously overlooked due
to a lack of solutions
