2025 ANNUAL REPORT CYCLEVIA

2025 ANNUAL REPORT

CYCLEVIA embarked on two major projects

on Reunion Island : better collection equipment

at municipal waste recycling facilities and the

preparation of a ground - breaking collection

operation in the cirque de Mafate .

In the municipal waste recycling facilities

concerned , the producer responsibility organisation

accompanied the installation of two 1 , 000 litre

stainless steel drums intended to hold waste oil from

oil changes carried out by private individuals . More

robust and well - adapted to operating constraints ,

they secure storage , limit the risk of overf low and

facilitate evacuation . In parallel , CYCLEVIA prepared

an unprecedented collection operation in Mafate .

After having observed the accumulation of waste oil

on several islets and in the absence of a collection

point , in March 2026 , the producer responsibility

organisation put in place an operation to collect

and evacuate waste oil via helicopter in conjunction

with the ADEME , the Reunion National Park , the

French National Forestry Of f ice ( ONF ) and SUEZ .

To assess local waste oil treatment

alternatives in the overseas territo -

ries , between April and December

2024 , CYCLEVIA conducted an in - depth

study which was transmitted to the

French Ministry for Ecological Tran -

sition in February 2025 . The objective :

to compare , territory by territory , the

solutions that would minimise exports

to mainland France as much as possible .

The study draws up an inventory of

current practices , identif ies possible

regional outlets and analyses the treat -

ment technologies adapted to volumes

of less than 3 , 000 tonnes per year . For

each territory , the current solution and

relevant options were compared based

on weighted criteria : CO

emissions ,

logistical feasibility , costs , technical ma -

turity . . . Praised by the DGPR ( Directorate

General for Risk Prevention ) for its thor -

oughness , this analysis of fers CYCLEVIA

a solid basis to identify the most relevant

solutions from an environmental , tech -

nical and economic viewpoint . It namely

brings to light new avenues to develop

( where relevant ) local alternatives to

exporting waste oil to mainland France .

In the long - term , these works should

enable CYCLEVIA to set adapted targets

for each region and to have a clear

roadmap for the coming years .

COLLECTION FIGURES PER TERRITORY ( GROSS TONNES )

This drop is explained by logistical delays particular to overseas departments and territories collected waste oil can remain in transit before being counted on entry to a treatment

facility in mainland France The discrepancy must be put into perspective in relation to 2024 a year which was marked by signif icant volumes being delivered for treatment

Alongside Entreprises et

Environnement CYCLEVIA has

renewed its participation in

the Kay Pwop collection runs

These event based collections

of fer private individuals a

simple solution to deposit waste oil and raise

awareness regarding best sorting practices In

2025 11 operations brought together more than

800 private individuals and enabled 1 8 tonnes

of oil to be collected After the 2 2 tonnes

collected in 2024 the mechanism is slowly

becoming established on a long term basis

Local collection continues

with Kay Pwop

Small garages play a key role in collecting waste oil but

they sometimes lack the equipment or accompaniment to

properly structure practices CYCLEVIA is therefore support

ing the Garage Propre label developed by the Chamber

of Trades and Crafts An of f icial partner of the mechanism

in Martinique the producer responsibility organisation is

accompanying garages to bring them into compliance and

f inancing the installation of collection drums for certif ied

establishments Since the signature of the partnership

a f irst garage has been awarded the label marking impor

tant progress in relaying prevention messages and best

practices within professional networks at local level

CYCLEVIA is backing the “ Garage

Propre ” ( Clean Garage ) label

KEY FIGURES

For every euro collected as eco -

fees * in the overseas departments

and territories , CYCLEVIA spent an

average of six times more in 2025

to successfully fulf il its mission .

Given that its general interest

mission is national , CYCLEVIA intervenes according

to the needs of each territory rather than the sum

of fees collected there .

×6

* Paid by local marketers and importers

in every territory .

This figure is a

very concrete

illustration of

our commitment in the

overseas departments

and territories . We do

not intervene according to what each territory

generates in terms of eco - fees , but according

to its real needs . This is a strong conviction

at CYCLEVIA : our mission is nationwide and

must permit the performances in the overseas

departments and territories to be similar to

those in mainland France . Out roadmap is

clear ; the prevention and management plan

validated in 2024 guides us on a territory -

by - territory basis . This supposes investing

significant means , both financial and in terms

of action , but also studying local treatment

solutions to limit waste oil exports towards

mainland France wherever possible . ”
