The project carried out by SAS Moulinot Pays de la Loire consists of a pre-treatment platform for bio-waste (food waste) with a capacity of 15 000 tonnes per year. The holder plans a gradual ramp-up of the activity and the number of waste recycled, to reach 100% of the capacity, at the end of an operating period estimated at 5 years. The aim is to receive and prepare bio-waste for organic recovery. The site, located in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou, will allow the reception, deconditioning and hygiene of bio-waste collected from the area closest to the site (territory of Angers Loire Métropole) to the largest potentially collectable area (departmental boundaries of 49). This project is part of the action “2.6.1 Fostering the transition to a circular economy”. This project meets the criteria of the ERDF OP implementation document. In view of all the above, a favourable opinion is proposed for ERDF support of €697,016.00 excluding VAT.
