BioCyclette

Collection and valorisation of food waste

BioCyclette

BioCyclette is a low-carbon, bike-powered solution for collecting and valorising organic waste from restaurants, hotels, and local businesses in Morzine, Les Gets, and Montriond.

We can help you and your businesses comply with France’s 2024 organic waste law and transform your food waste into renewable energy. It’s good for your business, and good for the planet.

Why Sort Organic Waste?

Food waste is one of the biggest environmental issues:

  • Organic waste is 80% water, and incinerating food waste is highly energy-intensive.
  • Landfilled food waste emits methane, a gas 25 times more potent than CO₂
  • Through methanisation or composting, waste becomes clean energy. Biocyclette provides a circular solution.
  • Since January 2024, it’s legally required in France for all businesses and individuals to sort organic waste.

Recent Highlights: BioCyclette in action

  • In June 2025, BioCyclette supported two major events, Run Through Trails and Pass’Portes du Soleil MTB.

    Thanks to our collaboration with organisers, we collected:

    • 81 kg of sorted food waste at Run Through Trails
    • Nearly 320 kg from Pass’Portes

    That’s over 400 kg of organic waste diverted from landfill and turned into renewable energy and compost. We are grateful to our partners in both events for demonstrating what sustainable waste systems can look like in the Alps.
