Eco-Pôle du SIMER

Explore a transfer station for recyclable waste!
The SIMER (Syndicat Interdépartemental Mixte pour l'Equipement Rural) Eco-Centre is a centre for the treatment of recyclable waste that intervenes after our daily sorting operations. The waste is first sorted by sophisticated machines and then by hand.
Visiting this platform will allow you to become aware of the environmental, economic and social challenges involved in carrying out these essential operations.
Tips for the Sud-Vienne-Poitou: put aside your preconceived notions of a waste processing centre.
That little extra something : you can also explore an educational garden where you can learn about the time it takes for different materials to break down in the natural environment, as well as about methods used to avoid the use of pesticides as much as possible.
