In Chambéry (Savoy), it is possible to find much cheaper materials to carry out work, because they are recycled construction products.

Windows, wood, plumbing or light fixtures. In the Finally Réemploi platform, you can find everything. Tiles from the old Aix-les-Bains thermal baths were saved from the dumpster to be resold. All the pieces were going to go to destruction. A huge waste in the construction world avoided thanks to this collective. “There is work on recycling that exists. Reuse brings real solutions to reduce the share of waste produced by the building industry “, explains Damien Barru, the project manager.

The platform is open to individuals. Dawn Tweezer found happiness for his artistic creations: “It’s rather ingenious, ecological and at affordable prices”. For artisans, the platform offers an alternative to the recycling center, paying for them. The structure seeks to develop to offer companies more services.
