Quality and Environment
Our corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy is reflected in our operational activities and interactions with stakeholders. It is structured around our ISO certifications and our “environment and quality” management system, responsible practices in our relationships with suppliers and service providers, transparent management of collected waste, and a long-standing commitment to inclusion.

Traceability
Conibi’s traceability relies on certified technical expertise, transparent procedures, and regular checks.
Waste tracking form
Each collection generates a waste tracking form (bordereau de suivi de déchets, BSD) provided to the client. Although not mandatory, Conibi has voluntarily implemented this form.
The BSD allows for the identification, tracking, and control of a collection from its pickup to its recycling.
Intervention return form
Once delivered to our sorting centers, consumables are sorted by brand and category. The client then receives an intervention return form (bordereau de retour d’intervention, BRI) which details the contents of their collection, including brand, category, quantity, and destination—whether for reuse or recycling—down to the individual item.
Recycling report
This report summarizes the environmental savings generated by the treatment of the collected consumables. It uses equivalents in raw materials, natural resources, energy, and CO2 to measure the environmental impact of selective sorting actions. This report is available upon request. This report is available upon request.
Social and solidarity economy
Since 2012, Conibi has entrusted the sorting of its consumables to supported businesses.
The social and solidarity economy (SSE) encompasses businesses that combine solidarity, economic performance, and social utility. We are deeply committed to this principle. Of the 4 Conibi sorting centers based in France, 3 are adapted companies: Maine Ateliers (Mayenne), Eiclor (Moselle) and Weee Entreprise Adaptée Weeecycling (Seine-Maritime).
Their mission of inclusion and local integration aligns with a logic of social entrepreneurship and industrial efficiency. For Conibi, this ensures control over risks and consumable flows. All Conibi sorting centers are regularly visited and audited annually.
