Reconciling industrial operations and biodiversity
From the outset, Séché Éco-Industries' Environment Division in Changé has made biodiversity a major component of its corporate strategy. Particular attention is paid to so-called "common" biodiversity, which makes up the richness of our territories.
Ecologists, working alongside the operating teams, define the actions
to be taken, which are based on 5 key areas:
- protect common biodiversity,
- define rehabilitation measures extending the local biotope,
- participate in the general knowledge of common biodiversity (fauna and flora monitoring),
- be a reception area for species,
- create a place for cultural sharing and exchange about our heritage.
Three areas have been defined as Ecologically Sensitive Zones (Z.E.S). These areas are protected in order to preserve biodiversity.
Animals are also present in particular on these Z.E.S for eco-pasture maintenance.
The Morinière Valley educational trail, opened to the public in 2010, has been classified as "Sur le chemin de la Nature" and since 2015 as a "Refuge à papillons" (Mayenne Nature Environnement label).
The Environment Pole was certified by ECOCERT "Biodiversity Commitment" in 2015. This certification is recognition of 20 years of preserving biodiversity and allows us to include our actions in favor of biodiversity in a dynamic of continuous improvement through a "Biodiversity Commitment" Policy of the Séché Environnement Group.

Listening to society's environmental concerns
The tours enable a wide audience to familiarize themselves with a little-known profession, and to appreciate the mastery with which the site is managed. These visits also provide an important educational opportunity on the environment and waste management (sorting, recycling, etc.)
Social and environmental responsibility: 5 commitments

Our latest-generation sorting center enables us to respond to and support local authorities' proactive approach to waste prevention and recovery
Energy production
Depuis septembre 2017, la Ville de Laval dispose du tout premier réseau alimenté par un combustible spécialement préparé à partir de déchets jusque-là non valorisables. Ce réseau alimente en chauffage l'équivalent de 6 400 logements dans différents quartiers de la ville.
Landfill
A historical activity at the Changé site, the non-hazardous waste storage facilities, provide a high environmental quality solution for their safety.
