About us

Our business

For 30 years, Aktid has been designing and producing complete, tailor-made solutions for sorting solid waste. Renowned for their robustness, our facilities offer an excellent level of performance and unrivalled reliability. Our expertise and substantial investment in innovation enable us to provide the solutions best suited to meeting the specific challenges of each of our customers.

Leading player in the sorting of non-hazardous solid waste

Specialising in the design and construction of facilities for sorting and recovering non-hazardous solid waste, Aktid also stands out for its expertise in the production of solid recovered fuel (SRF) and the modernisation of existing sorting centres.

No matter how complex – from a simple project to the design of the largest selective collection sorting centre in France – Aktid designs tailor-made solutions, adapted to the needs of all its customers: independent operators, large groups or local authorities.

Expanding beyond France’s borders

With the acquisition of an Italian company at the end of 2023, Aktid becomes a group. Renowned for its expertise in the French market, the company is pursuing its international expansion, in Europe and across the Atlantic, supported by a dedicated export team. This expansion is a reflection of its determination to meet the major global challenges of waste management.

Our values

To grow together by transforming waste into a sustainable resource.

“I am convinced that only businesses and the collective intelligence that they give rise to have the power to boost the economy by creating shared wealth in a way that respects the environment. I also know that a company can only spread its wings if it has the means to do so. That’s why it has to perform at the highest level. Today, we are an industrial company committed to its values: the quest for outstanding performance is what makes us what we are and all our actions are guided by our environmental convictions, anchored in our values of unity, high standards, constant improvement, ambition and determination.

Our solid foundations in France mean that we can confidently export our business internationally. We are determined to continue to grow both individually and collectively, working closely with all our stakeholders and with a fierce determination to limit our carbon footprint. Our customers, both national and international, are the focus of our attention and we are proud to accompany them in the search for solutions that harmonise closely with our core aim: To grow together by transforming waste into a sustainable resource.”
