November 29, 2021 – At the inauguration of the Fabrique Cycle Terre (Earth Cycle Factory) in Sevran, Laurent Mogno, President of ECT, reminded us about the importance of developing all forms of the circular economy for excavated soil in Ile-de-France. For this reason, ECT has invested in the Cycle Terre project and raw earth construction, a vector for a greener and sustainable city.
Constructing with raw earth has significant ecological benefits. Raw earth has a very low carbon footprint, is recyclable, very health-friendly to live in and acts as a natural water regulator. It can be used as cladding or infill.
The inauguration took place with all the project partners.
Particularly in the presence of:
- Stéphane Blanchet, Mayor of Sevran,
- Jean-Philippe Dugoin-Clément, Vice-President of the Île-de-France Region,
- Clémentine Autain, Member of Parliament for Seine-Saint-Denis,
- Emmanuel Launiau, President of QUARTUS
- Paul-Emmanuel Loiret, President of Cycle Terre.
- Laurent Mogno, President of ECT
The splendid building, built by Quartus and designed by the Joly-Loiret architectural firm, allows, in a very urban environment, to produce plaster and raw earth blocks. This production recycles 10,000 tonnes of excavated soil per year.
