2025 ANNUAL REPORT

This experiment was

really useful . With the

forthcoming integration

of packaging into our scope ,

CYCLEVIA needs to better

understand what exactly private

individuals are dropping off : oil

volumes obviously , but also the

weight and types of containers

deposited . We have heard

and understood the limitations

and constraints expressed by

the brands . They have provided

us with concrete elements

to develop mechanisms which

are better adapted to both users

and our partners in the future

CYCLEVIA joined forces with brands from Mobivia group ( Carter - Cash , Norauto

and Midas ) to put in place 21 new collection points for waste oil and its soiled

packaging in four regions in France . This experiment , set out in the producer

responsibility organisation ’ s specif ications , enabled a local level solution to be

tested in real conditions in addition to municipal recycling facilities .

Following a f irst operation of this kind in Guadeloupe between 2023 and

2024 , CYCLEVIA adapted its mechanism to correspond to the context in

mainland France with three major vehicle maintenance and equipment

brands . Between June and December 2025 , 21 voluntary drop - of f

points were installed in the car parks of participating centres in the

Hauts - de - France , Île - de - France , Grand Est and PACA regions , with the

aim of proposing a collection solution better corresponding to the uses

of private individuals .

Initiated , f inanced and steered by CYCLEVIA , this unprecedented experi

ment in mainland France enabled 56 tonnes of waste oil and 6 . 4 tonnes

of soiled packaging to be collected over a six - month period . It also led

to the identif ication of 3 . 9 tonnes of non - compliant deposits . Chimirec

was responsible for collecting containers and transporting this hazardous

waste , which was then regrouped , sorted and oriented towards regener -

ation in the case of waste oil and towards energy generation in the case

of non - compliant deposits and packaging .

The experiment conf irmed the existence of volumes needing to be

collected , but also the limits of the mechanism in the form tested . The

three brands stressed that it was complex to manage for their teams :

monitoring collection points , site safety measures , overseeing evacuation ,

non - compliant deposits or the risk of damages to car parks . In addition ,

the rate of use varied depending on the site , sometimes geographically

distanced from the public target , with massive deposits by professionals .

Within these conditions , the brands did not wish to pursue the experi -

ence .

For CYCLEVIA , whilst the volumes collected were highly encouraging ,

this assessment also enabled to determine the conditions for better

adapted collection at local level : training of operational teams , reactive

management of waste evacuations , targeted monitoring and communi -

cation By conf irming the need for concrete solutions in the f ield and by

shedding light on the necessary adjustments the operation constituted

a tangible and reliable basis to assist with designing future solutions
