LES JOYEUX RECYCLEURS

Les Joyeux Recycleurs operate an office-waste collection and sorting model based on a recurring monthly subscription, advanced process digitization, and a value proposition focused on compliance with environmental and extra-financial standards. With more than 2,000 blue-chip clients active in the Île-de-France region, the company relies on a structured organization and its own truck fleet, enabling the regular collection of more than 12,000 sorting boxes already deployed. It can handle over 16 different waste streams through an offering tailored to each client.

The company stands out for its strong ESG positioning, with a majority of employees coming from professional reintegration pathways and 100% end-to-end recycling of waste. Clients receive monthly and annual impact reports, including recovery certificates, meeting growing corporate expectations around non-financial performance management.

Context of the deal

Since the company was founded in 2013, Gilles Rouverand has structured the business and driven remarkable development, underpinned by steady, profitable, and uninterrupted growth. AXIO’s proposal was selected in particular because it made it possible to pursue an independence project, including the entry of the operational teams into the company’s share capital, while prioritizing continuity through Gilles Rouverand’s ongoing support on the Supervisory Board. He is therefore reinvesting to support this next stage, ensuring a smooth transition and preserving the corporate culture successfully built over more than ten years.
