Novea Energies is now a member of the Association for the Development of Circular and Collaborative Economy (ADECC)! On the 6th of November, we held a welcome breakfast for new members, in which we took part, in order to get to know each other and better understand the circular economy. The ADECC is a network of companies committed to the circular economy in place since May 2017. This project is designed by and for business leaders, which is initiated and supported by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and ADEME. The three missions of the ADECC are: to improve the economic, environmental and social performance of companies, by providing simple solutions to move forward step by step; to simplify integration into the circular economy through verified and negotiated solutions, and service providers selected for their values; to federate a network of committed companies to facilitate the exchange of good practices, strengthen cooperation between members, and act together for a local economy open to the world. ADECC offers various solutions to companies such as: Shared purchases: with nearly 350 suppliers and 100 contracts, ADECC through Le Cèdre allows companies to share their purchases and save money: periodic checks, telephony, supplies, office automation, hygiene, maintenance, vehicles... Controlling energy costs: thanks to the PEPS programme, companies benefit from personalised support to reduce their energy consumption. Optimized waste collection: waste (cups, paper, cardboard, plastic film, glassine, cigarette butts, etc.) is collected as close as possible to the company by social and solidarity economy structures. Reuse of materials and services: with the Troc'Adecc web platform, it is possible to exchange, donate or recover materials, equipment and services (training, spaces, etc.) between members.
