Paprec has taken advantage of its partnership with TotalEnergies, marking its entry into the energy sector.


Paprec, the French leader in waste treatment, announced record results for 2022 on Wednesday, with a turnover up 20% driven by its historic recycling businesses and its growth in energies.

Turnover reached 2.5 billion euros last year, indicates the company, which had crossed the two billion mark in 2021 and is aiming for three billion in 2023.

The company run by the Petithuguenin family generated a gross operating surplus (Ebitda) of 400 million euros.
