Recycle your scrap metal through our plants

Since 2009, the series of acquisitions including Prévost, Echalier, Atlantic Métal and Desplat brings us to rank among the top five scrap metal recycling operations in France.

We have expanded our offer and acquired essential new know-how to meet the needs of this sector.

RECOGNISED EXPERTISE

Paprec has become a major recycler of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Every year, we process 500,000 tonnes of ferrous metal and almost 50,000 tonnes of other metals (copper, zinc, aluminium, bronze) at our various platforms, achieving a recovery rate of 98%.
