Paprec: a new fatal accident at a recycling group factory

A tragic incident occurred during maintenance at a waste management site in Calais, where a 44-year-old technician from Paprec fell into a fermentation tube and died. The accident happened while he was working on a walkway above an installation processing nearly 200 tons of waste. After nine hours of search efforts by firefighters, his body was recovered. An investigation for involuntary manslaughter has been initiated by the Boulogne-sur-Mer prosecutor's office. The mayor of Calais expressed deep concern and called for accountability, questioning why the site was operational despite reported safety issues.
