An eco-responsible approach
Manufacture des Cévennes, an industry dedicated to the recovery and transformation of used seats
Of the 2 million tonnes of furniture waste produced each year in France, 40% is landfilled, 45% is incinerated and only 15% is recycled (source Valdelia). In 2021, Manufacture des Cévennes has set up its own used seat recycling business under the Manufacture des Cévennes brand , in partnership with Valdelia. Its aim: to give a second life to end-of-life office chairs.
A complete, innovative and recognized solution
Manufacture des Cévennes reconditions, upcycles and recycles used seats entrusted to us for re-use. The crushed, extruded and remolded components are reintegrated into our range of reconditioned or new products via our recognized Entreprise Adaptée manufacturing workshop.
A team dedicated to this service
After purchasing premises dedicated to this activity, ErgoSanté invested in tooling by equipping itself with a grinder, press and extruder. The Manufacture des Cévennes business intends to increase its production area in 2023. We are working on the creation of a fabric incorporating used fibers, and on the recycling of plastics, wood, foam and metal.
A fast and local collection network
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.

New legislation, coupled with a growing concern for the environment and soaring costs of raw materials and manufactured goods, are prompting companies and public bodies to turn to specialist services such as Manufacture des Cévennes. The price of reconditioned products is 50% of the new price.
