A new player in the approved sector
The APER (Association pour la Plaisance Eco-Responsable) network is expanding with the arrival of a processing center in Saint-Fons, just outside Lyon. This site, operated by the Nicollin Group, completes the national map of approved centers for the dismantling and recycling of end-of-life pleasure boats.

A strategic presence in the Rhône-Alpes region
With this new center, boaters in the Lyon basin benefit from a local solution for disposing of their boats that have reached the end of their service life. The location is particularly relevant for inland navigation areas such as the Rhône, Saône, Alpine lakes and reservoirs. This location helps reduce the logistical costs and environmental footprint associated with transporting units to processing centers.

An expanding territorial network
Since the network was set up, APER has been working to strengthen its geographical coverage in order to meet growing needs. Each time an approved site is opened, the network's responsiveness is enhanced, making it easier for owners to deal with the process. For local authorities and marinas, these centers also represent an operational resource for managing wrecks and abandoned vessels.

A structured, growing industry
Created in 2019 under the impetus of regulations on extended producer responsibility (EPR), France's yacht dismantling industry relies on a network of approved centers throughout the country. The sites benefit from standardized processes: decontamination, dismantling, sorting of materials and waste recovery. The arrival of the Nicollin Group, a recognized player in the field of waste management, reinforces this structured approach.
