VIDEAL 78 provides a comprehensive waste management service for businesses, ranging from small enterprises to large corporations and public administrations. Its business model revolves around the collection, sorting, processing, and reuse of industrial waste, with a particular focus on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The company handles a wide array of materials including construction debris, metal, glass, concrete, plastic, plaster, used office furniture, and archives. Revenue is generated through these collection and recycling services, as well as the reconditioning and resale of computer equipment.

The company's service portfolio is designed to help clients adhere to environmental legislation and adopt sustainable practices. A core offering is the management of WEEE, which is a legal obligation in France since 2005. This process involves meticulous depollution followed by certified recycling to recover valuable materials like precious metals and plastics. Furthermore, VIDEAL 78 provides specialized services such as the secure destruction of sensitive materials, including certified data erasure for IT media, ensuring client confidentiality. The company also promotes a circular economy by reconditioning and reselling items like light fixtures, carpet tiles, and computer hardware through its own shop. As an 'entreprise adaptée', VIDEAL 78 is committed to social inclusion by employing and supporting individuals with disabilities, allowing their clients to potentially reduce their AGEFIPH/FIPHFP tax contributions. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, underscoring its commitment to quality and environmental management.
