Veolia Environnement

Veolia Environnement is a French multinational operating water, waste, and energy services globally. With revenues of €44.7 billion (2024), the company treats 45 million tons of waste annually, produces 42 million megawatt-hours of energy from waste, and manages water services for 110 million people.

The company exemplifies industrial-scale attempts to close resource loops, operating NEWater plants in Singapore that produce ultra-pure recycled water from sewage, over 60 waste-to-energy plants globally, and material recovery facilities using advanced sorting technologies. Veolia demonstrates that industrial nutrient cycling requires technical capability, economic viability, and system integration across value chains.
