Different approaches are being taken in the Group to contribute directly to this goal. They involve increasing reclaimed asphalt pavement production, developing materials recycling and production facilities (in the Granulat+ network), and promoting the Ogêo® brand of recycled aggregate mix to fortify customer loyalty and engagement.
By 2030, VINCI Construction’s Road France Division aims to have 80% of quarries and recycling facilities labelled Granulat+, meaning that they support the circular economy, and to incorporate 25% reclaimed asphalt pavement in its total asphalt mix production. Since 2015, the division has developed products and processes that can recover up to 100% of materials from old road surfaces and use them to build new roads.
Producing asphalt mix containing a high proportion of recycled material requires specific industrial facilities that can store, dry, and heat materials, as well as optimised transport between worksites and production sites to limit carbon emissions. For this reason, formulations incorporating recycled material in proportions of up to 80% offer the best combination of advanced technical performance and strong environmental benefits. As a comparison, in France, the average percentage of recycled material content in bitumen asphalt is growing each year and reached about 25% in 2025. In the summer of 2023, VINCI Construction opened a TRX80 asphalt plant in Fos-sur-Mer. The fixed facility can incorporate up to 80% recycled asphalt materials in its production, marking a major step forward in this technology. In 2025, the plant produced 96,000 tonnes of asphalt mix, which incorporates an average of 50% reclaimed asphalt pavement (46% in 2024). VINCI Construction also took additional steps to promote its customers’ adoption of recycled materials, for example with the launch of Enrobés Up in 2025. This product increases the share of reclaimed asphalt pavement used, thereby reducing the need for natural binder. In 2025, on average, 23% of reclaimed asphalt pavement was used in asphalt mix applied by VINCI Construction.
As a market leader in construction and industrial waste recovery, VINCI Construction’s Road France Division is continuing the rollout throughout France of its Granulat+ program, applying circular economy principles to construction materials. This program features the largest network of sites for treating mineral waste from the construction and manufacturing industries in the country, with 67% of sites equipped with dedicated waste collection, sorting, and recycling capabilities in 2025. The recycled materials thus become certified, quality aggregates. Each Granulat+ site sorts all the waste collected, optimises recycling and recovery, and guarantees traceability of the waste treated. The program aims to improve the treatment of recycled materials so that they can be used for more diverse purposes. For example, excavation material from construction sites can now be fully recovered. Granulat+ sites are spread throughout France, forming a dense network that favors short circuits and packaging that optimises consumption (big bags for urban or small-scale worksites). Progress in recycling techniques should eventually pave the way towards “perpetual quarries,” which would operate without virgin mineral deposits.
In 2023, VINCI Construction launched Ogêo®, a new brand offering aggregates formulated throughout France. Made up of both primary resources (quarry aggregates) and secondary resources (local materials recovered from eight collection channels, including demolition), Ogêo® is a range of highly technical materials. In 2025, it was rolled out more widely in France, benefiting from solutions included in the Scale Up! program. As part of Granulat+, this offering favours short circuits and confirms the division’s commitment to optimising resources by using materials produced locally, as close as possible to worksites. Outside France, new production facilities, such as in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Canada, enable VINCI Construction to gain a lead in the commercialisation of recycled materials and to make a commitment to its customers in this strategic path.
VINCI Airports implements a strategy for responsible waste management that goes further than local regulations, using the experience it has gained in regions without a formal waste treatment and recovery sector. Salvador Bahia and Manaus airports in Brazil, Belgrade airport in Serbia, Porto airport in Portugal and London Gatwick airport have already installed their own sorting centres. In 2025, two new waste processing centers were also brought into service for airports in Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata, in the Dominican Republic. These new facilities prevent waste from the terminal, offices, cargo activities and dining areas from systematically going to landfill. Once waste has been sorted, it is easier to avoid landfills and find interested recycling and recovery organisations. A partner company recycles any waste that can be recycled, while the rest is sent for incineration. In 2025, the recycling rate was 27% at Manaus (24% in 2024), and 100% at Salvador Bahia (50% in 2024).
Inclusive recycling projects have been launched at Manaus airport. The objectives of inclusive recycling are both social and environmental. Projects of this kind can improve waste recovery in regions where industrial solutions are not available. At the same time, they create decent and sustainable jobs in the informal sector, among the existing communities of waste pickers. Based on the results of these pilot projects, VINCI Airports or VINCI Concessions will assess the feasibility of expanding the initiative and implementing inclusive recycling in other regions without formal recycling systems.
Resource inflows are the products and materials used directly by the Group. The published amounts are expressed by weight. For VINCI, the most significant resources are the tonnage of aggregates, bitumen, concrete, steel and wood. These resources may be purchased or extracted from quarries operated by VINCI companies. The definitions of these indicators and the data collection methods used are detailed in 5.4.5, “Resources, waste and materials”, of the methodology note, page 292.
Consumed resources amounted to nearly 55 million tonnes in 2025, 6% of which were recycled or reused. Bio-based materials, namely wood, represented less than 1% of consumed resources in 2025. Furthermore, 27% of the wood used was certified (23% in 2024).
