Tendre vers une économie circulaire toujours plus vertueuse, la balle est du côté des entreprises ! C’est avec ce modèle en tête que Julien Hamilius a cofondé Urbyn. La startup leur propose une solution efficace de gestion, de recyclage et de valorisation des déchets en vue d’améliorer leur impact environnemental. Sur les 350 millions de tonnes de déchets produits chaque année en France, environ 90 % proviennent des entreprises, en majorité du secteur de la construction, quand seulement 10 % proviennent des ménages.
