Our history | Ecophyse

Every story begins with once upon a time…

Magali Frontero …

Passionate about the design, I had the opportunity to study at the french school of fine arts. To learn how to draw, is learning how to observe and look. I see a common point with the recycling: we learn how to see an object differently. Have this intuition and see beyond the image, see something more than the waste.

In 2002, I started working in the recycling sector, that was not developed in France yet. Nowadays it is evidence but for me it was a discovery.

My DNA is to work with things that have no more value for 99.9% of the people. It is a real challenge. Make sense where there is no more sense for other people. Change the vision. I learn to look differently at what is dirty, broken and with no interest. Searching a possibility to turn it into a new resource.

In 2019, our social commitment was honoured by the medal of National Order of Merit.

ECOPHYSE : expertise and waste recovery

Since 2006, Ecophyse offers an independent expertise about waste recycling to companies. Governed by a few companies, the recycling market was not easy to understand. Sometimes politicized, the environmental information we receive is often biased. Our goal is to make information accessible and give more transparency to consumers and companies so that they make better choices in terms of environment.

We find the best solutions for waste recycling. Thanks to our industrial expertise and process knowledge, we find factories able to integrate the waste in their production process. Thus, the waste becomes a secondary raw material. For the producer, the waste takes a value and for the industrial it becomes a resource.

HAPPYLOOP : our brand for a better recycling

Because waste management in tis entirety was essential for me, HAPPYLOOP was born in 2016. More than containers, HAPPYLOOP offers expertise on waste management thanks to the ECOPHYSE team.

Beyond the container, we offer a personalization service with dedicated communication to help you with your recycling management. Regarding design, our containers take the shape of the waste. Nothing is easier than a can to throw away your cans. HappyLoop makes recycling for the companies and all the events much easier. Over 500 companies trust us with their waste management.

When to contact HappyLoop :

Assessment

Only sorted waste can be recycled. The very numerous sorting errors do not allow its waste to be recycled.

Solution

Thanks to the intuitive collectors and associated communication, sorting happens naturally. The containers fit into the workspace. Sorting errors become rare and recycling becomes possible. Understanding of the subject as a whole.

Our winning combination :

Customer service always at your service
Containers at your image

TRANSFAIRE-LA MANUFACTURE : a non-recyclable waste research laboratory

ECOPHYSE is part of this laboratory working on non-recyclable waste in order to go further in recycling. The difference between a recyclable and non-recyclable waste is an industrial’s capacity to integrate it in its production process. The waste needs to be available in a sufficient quantity to allow a regular supply and to assure continuous production of the factory. Focus on the waste nobody is interested in, create tomorrow’s materials and encourage industrials to reuse them… these are all the goals of Transfaire. First project : used chewing-gums.
