Presentation Depollution Partners WEEE Certificate Contact Terecoval's 34,000 m2 platform for the complete treatment of Large Cold Appliances (GEM F) is installed in the heart of Maurienne at La Chambre en Savoie. It has been operational since August 1, 2007. Almost 1,000 refrigerators and freezers from 19 departments are processed there every day. After having been emptied of their oils and gases, the refrigerators are crushed into fine particles so that each material can be upgraded as a secondary raw material and consumed by the processing industries: iron, copper, plastic, etc. more than 95% of the fridge which is thus upgraded with this process. Based on a German patented process that has been proven worldwide for 15 years, Terecoval cleans end-of-life refrigerators and freezers by vacuuming greenhouse components contained in the motors and the foams inserted into the walls. Once packaged, these gases are sent to approved companies. CFCs (Freon for example) are gases widely used as refrigerants. The compounds of this gas are the main responsible for the observed depletion of the ozone layer, thus actively contributing to the increase in the greenhouse effect. Terecoval therefore plays a significant role in protecting the environment. Suite à la Directive Européenne appliquée en France depuis le 15 novembre 2006, Terecoval a été choisie par Eco-Systemes, éco-organisme agréé par l’Etat, pour le traitement de tous les “GEM Froid” de 19 départements des régions Rhône-Alpes, Auvergne, Bourgogne, Centre et Limousin. Depuis mai 2007, ces appareils sont dépollués (huiles et gaz) sur le site de La Chambre. En août, Terecoval est entré dans une nouvelle phase de traitement : le broyage et la revalorisation matière. 1 000 frigos sont d’ores et déjà traités chaque jour. Il est prévu que le site de La Chambre traite plus de 200 000 appareils par an. Located in a rural revitalization zone, the industrial unit has created more than 30 new jobs, partly reserved for a local integration company. A new economic activity, an environmental issue, jobs, Terecoval is immediately part of sustainable development. TERECOVAL treats household and professional refrigeration equipment.
