Jean-Yves MENOU,
President of the SMITRED West of Armor

For more than 20 years, the SMITRED West of Armor knew many evolutions without losing for all that the values which liven up it: the shared will, the ambition, the innovation and the pedagogy.

The SMITRED and the communities members work together on the everyday life so that the waste of the territory is treated on the scale of the territory. Source of the coherence of the route of the waste, the SMITRED is also the fruit of the will of the communities to seize a question of public health and to bring it an answer. From then on, the valuation under all its forms is a stake, in the fact that it allies the global and the premises: the protection of the global resources offers the possibility of developing local synergies. The heat supplied in the horticultural greenhouses of Pluzunet or the second life of the waste in sectors of recycling, geographically close, are examples among the others.

Our trash cans look like only little their grandmothers. That is why our actions and our investments have to anticipate the fast changes of consumer habits. The development of new sectors or new methods to sort out the more and the better the waste leans on infrastructures effective and adapted to our territory. So, in launch phase, the new Sorting office seems to keep its promises in terms of performances and evolution capacities.

Also, to propose to Eco-Emballages the territory of the SMITRED and more particularly Guingamp Community and the SMICTOM of Ménez-Bré to test the extensions of the instructions of sorting, it is to give itself the possibility of progressing, by leaning on the tools with which we were equipped. The success of this initiative demonstrates the legitimacy of the approach and the opportunity of a progressive passage to vast instructions of sorting, the actors and the ambassadors of which you are.

Indeed, your gestures, sometimes the simplest, return our more effective actions. As in the past, the raising awareness of all the inhabitants will ask for an important and continuous work, for a presence by your side in the evolutions to come. In the classes, on beaches, in your boxes-aux-lettres or on the sites of Pluzunet and Pleumeur-Bodou, we develop moments of meetings between Us, where a clear, precise and updated information is supplied to you.

The web site of the SMITRED West of Armor, the visit of which you will estimate is an additional tool in this effort. In a world and a domain which change very fast, this web site testifies of the will to give you the most just information about what we are, what we make, what you can make and how.

This is the way We shall be, together, all united in the sorting!
