Séché Environnement announces the signing of several major contracts for waste management in the mining sector in Peru. These multi-year contracts total an estimated value of €64.6 million over the next 5 years, demonstrating the Group's recognized expertise in the implementation of circular economy solutions in complex mining environments.

Antamina: an emblematic project

Among the recent contracts signed in Peru, Séché Environnement has entered into a major partnership with the Antamina Mining Company to provide Total Waste Management services in one of the largest copper, zinc, silver, lead and molybdenum mines in the world.

Antamina is not only one of Peru’s most iconic deposits, but also one of the world’s top ten mines in terms of production volume, playing a key role in Peruvian production of copper and zinc concentrates.

Innovative solutions for sustainable waste management

Antamina has selected the Peruvian subsidiary of Séché Environnement for its most advanced solutions in the development of a circular economy.

This new contract includes a plan for the collection, sorting and conditioning of waste at the various collection points of the industrial facility, in order to optimise the recovery of the collected flows.

Through the deployment of innovative solutions and an approach focused on raising awareness among the teams working on the site, this operation aims to realize the ambition of an “Antamina circular”, a program designed to maximize waste recovery and support the mine’s sustainability objectives.

“These contracts represent an important milestone for Séché Environnement in the mining sector in Latin America,” said Maxime Séché, Managing Director of Séché Environnement. “They demonstrate our commitment to offering virtuous waste management solutions, actively contributing to the development of a more sustainable mining industry.”
