Group specializing in the recycling of hazardous or critical waste (hazardous wood, bio-waste) and the manufacture of composite poles.
Founded in 1993 by Richard Molina, the 2B Environnement Group specializes in the recycling (collection, treatment, recovery) of infrastructure waste such as concrete poles and Class C treated wood sleepers, primarily from electrical, telecom, and railway networks. The company owns several recycling sites in France and works on behalf of top-tier clients. Since November 2020, the Group has also operated a subsidiary specializing in bio-waste recovery. Since September 2021, the Group has been manufacturing composite poles intended to replace recycled poles.
Capital Export acquired a stake in 2B Environnement in July 2019. Richard Molina, the company's founder, and Jérôme Chalençon, who arrived in 2017 as General Manager, based their development plan on two major strategic pillars:
Consolidating and increasing the scope of historical activities via increased treatment capacities and the implementation of new crushing units;
Expanding the current strategic positioning by targeting external growth opportunities, particularly in Europe.
The executives were convinced by the human and pragmatic approach of the Capital Export teams and their ability to be a driving force in strategic support. The partnership has been fruitful, as evidenced by a completed acquisition (BM Environnement, generating €6 million in bio-waste recovery) and the creation of a new site following the win of a major tender for the manufacture of composite poles, thus completing the historical value chain on which the Group has been positioned since its inception. Capital Export and 2B Environnement are pursuing the other defined pillars with numerous projects currently underway in France and internationally.

Today, we are on track with our main objective, which is to build a leading player in the highly specialized sectors of recycling and the environment. Thanks to the support and shared vision we have with Capital Export, we are pursuing our ambitious development strategy with the goal of reaching nearly €40 million in revenue within four years.
2B Environnement is the unique player positioned in these growing niche markets. We are particularly attracted by the vision driven by Richard Molina and the quality of the relationship that has naturally been established. 2B is now a major player in specific environment-related sectors. Furthermore, the Group's positioning in the manufacturing of composite poles, a highly complementary addition to its historical business, gives it very significant development potential, particularly internationally.
