EcoSiège, an industry dedicated to the recovery and transformation of used seats
Concerned withintegrating the complete life cycle of its products, the company ErgoSanté created in 2021 its recycling channel for used chairs under the brand name EcoSiège. Its objective: to give a second use to office chairs at the end of their life. Of the 2 million tons of furniture waste produced each year in France, 40% is buried, 45% is incinerated and only 15% is recycled (source Valdelia).
EcoSiège reconditions, upcycles and recycles used seats that are entrusted to it for reuse. The crushed, extruded and remolded elements reintegrate the range of our reconditioned or new products via our workshop recognized Adapted Company.
After having bought premises dedicated to this activity, ErgoSanté invested in tools by equipping itself with crushers, press and extruder. The EcoSiège activity intends to increase its production surface in 2023. We are working on the creation of a fabric integrating used fibers and the valorization of plastic, wood, foam and metal.
Through our network of proximity, we recover seats everywhere in France entrusted by companies, SMEs, associations, administrations, communities or individuals who wish to dispose of them. In connection with theeco-organization partner VALDELIA, or the general services concerned, we plan your collection, identify the seats to be recovered and your future equipment needs.
The new legislative provisions encouraged by a growing concern for the preservation of the environment, coupled with the soaring costs of raw materials and manufactured products, invite companies and public actors to turn to specialized services like EcoSiège. The price of reconditioned products represents 30% of the price of new ones.
An offer that boosts the ESG/CSR of public and private players
EcoSiège avoids 15 to 40 kg of additional waste disposal and saves the user 42kg of CO² per reconditioned seat purchased, positively affecting the beneficiary'scarbon footprint by limiting waste and reusing existing resources.

Since January 1, 2022, public purchasers must acquire a minimum of 20% of furniture from reuse or recycled materials in their public orders (AGEC anti-waste law). CPAM, hospitals, courts, gendarmeries, prefectures, communities, DGFiP and ARS already trust us.
