An Ecosystem That Supports the Circular Economy

A pioneer in industrial ecology, the Sorel-Tracy region has developed recognized expertise in the circular economy and resource recovery. Through Symbiose Pierre-De Saurel, businesses receive support in identifying opportunities to reduce waste, optimize resource use and create new business opportunities.

This ecosystem is built on a strong network of manufacturing businesses, specialized partners and research organizations working together to accelerate the transition toward more sustainable and competitive practices.

The region also benefits from the presence of the Centre de transfert technologique en écologie industrielle (CTTÉI), an applied research centre affiliated with Cégep de Sorel-Tracy. Recognized as a Québec leader in the circular economy, the CTTÉI helps businesses and communities develop innovative solutions that enhance both economic and environmental performance.

Symbiose Pierre-De Saurel in Action

Symbiose Pierre-De Saurel brings together businesses, organizations and communities to create synergies through the sharing of resources, residual materials, equipment, expertise and services.

As part of the circular economy, the initiative helps transform one organization’s residual materials into another’s resources. By participating, businesses can reduce waste management costs, optimize resource use, secure certain supplies and strengthen their competitiveness and resilience in the face of economic disruptions and supply chain challenges.

Initiated by the Centre de transfert technologique en écologie industrielle (CTTÉI), with support from the Conseil régional de l’environnement de la Montérégie (CREM), Symbiose Pierre-De Saurel is jointly led by the Ville de Sorel-Tracy and the MRC de Pierre-De Saurel.
