Press release  Bordeaux, 17 September 2019

A framework partnership agreement with Orano Cycle has come into effect

Europlasma announced today the signature of a 4-year renewable partnership agreement with Orano Cycle. It is effective immediately.

Through this partnership, Europlasma will work closely with a major player in the hazardous waste sector to develop its hazardous waste and toxic gas recovery activities and embark on a path to growth.

The agreement is divided into two parts, specifically:

• An industrial component aimed at developing new facilities for the treatment of conventional hazardous waste (asbestos, fly ash, toxic gases, etc.) and nuclear waste.
• A Research & Development component in the following areas:
  • conventional waste the treatment of which is already covered by Europlasma solutions, i.e. the melting and sealing of asbestos and fly ash and the cracking/reforming of gas;
  • the development of treatment solutions for new conventional waste;
  • intermediate, low or very low level nuclear waste (IA, LA or VLA).

In this context, it is foreseen that a common research centre will be established at the Morcenx (Landes) site, owned by Europlasma.

The partnership will be steered by a joint steering committee on both the industrial and R&D sides ensuring that operations run smoothly.
