SUEZ LAUNCHES ORGANIX®,
FIRST DIGITAL MARKETPLACE IN FRANCE FOR ORGANIC WASTE
SUEZ launches “Organix®”, the first digital marketplace for organic waste. This innovative platform can
connect producers of organic waste (food industry manufacturers, cooperatives, etc.) and methanation unit
operators, who transform them into energy. They can manage transaction in a simple and secure manner
while SUEZ provides logistics and transportation. SUEZ also ensures the quality of the materials with an audit
of the producers and a flows diagnosis. Already available in some French regions (Brittany, Normandy and
Pays de la Loire), Organix® will cover the entire territory by the end of the year, and will gradually be
enhanced with new functionalities.
Through Organix®, organic waste can now be sold securely and easily on an auction platform, similar to those
used for common consumer goods:
- the producer of organic materials makes an offer, with details of the quality and the nature of its flows,
- the waste-to-energy operator can accept the offer, in which case the transaction is validated immediately, or
he can make an offer as part of the auction system. When the auction closes, the producer accepts or rejects
the best offer made to him.
This unique platform is the first digital marketplace for organic waste in France. It represents a genuine
breakthrough from the existing trading system and meets two needs. On the one hand, producers of organic
waste do not always find the right recovery channel, while, on the other, operators of methanation units
sometimes have difficulties with their supplies of organic materials due to inconsistent quality, unreliable
sources, regulatory compliance and traceability.
By optimising the connection between these actors, Organix® encourages and facilitates waste recovery and
the production of new organic and energy resources at a local level, for the benefit of circular economy and
the regional energy transition. It is now easier for producers of organic waste to find waste-to-energy operators
to reuse their materials, and the operators now have direct access to the offers, thanks to this 24/7, simple
and easy-to-use service. Organix® enables them to benefit from a quality, reliable, flexible and accessible
supply chain on a single platform. SUEZ guarantees the material quality, the application of the regulations and
the traceability of flows all along the chain.
Philippe Maillard, CEO of SUEZ Recycling and Recovery France, declared: “After ValoServices (SUEZ’s ecommerce site), SmartTrucks® (the smart truck equipped with data sensors), sensors and connected objects,
today, we are proud to launch Organix®. Thus, SUEZ confirms its ambition to become the leader in smart and
digital services for recycling and recovery. These innovative solutions take up the new challenges facing
industry, businesses and local authorities, and they contribute to the concrete development of circular
economy in our regions.”
