They recycle old movie sets rather than throw them away

A tomb created for the film

series … Welcome to La Ressourcerie du cinema, which recovers old film sets!

“A built set represents 15 tonnes of waste for each film”

Karine d'Orlan declares having co-created this place for ecological reasons: “It is estimated that a constructed set represents approximately 15 tonnes of waste, she specifies.

A 2020 study also indicates that the cinema generates 1.7 million tonnes of CO² and that the sets alone represent a quarter of this pollution.

»

According to her, "60% of the sets in a film are made up of 'set sheets' - false retractable walls - so it's important to stop throwing them away and do something with them, because it's wood and that wood is burning all over the planet!

We make this resource available to those who need it”.

OUR “RECYCLING” FILE

The clients of the Ressourcerie du Cinéma, located in the Mozinor factory in Montreuil, have very varied profiles: “We are aimed at professionals, but not only those in the cinema trades;

we thus offer equipment to the construction industry, to craftsmen, to interior designers... and even to private individuals, who come from time to time to buy parts from us such as doors, windows, accessories", adds the co-founder. .
