Our History

Our story begins in 1899 when Raoul & Julia Pascault decided to found their company. They were then only 22 years old. Raoul begins an activity of barter armed with his cart and his horse.
 
At the dawn of the 1900s, Raoul created the company at 20 rue Carnot in La Haye-Descartes. The activity then consists of exchanging feathers, rabbit skins, horsehair or metals for dishes. At the time, they were called the rag pickers. These years also saw the birth of René, son of Raoul & Julia, who in 1915, at the age of 14, began working alongside his father. This will also be the case for his son Pierre in 1938, his grandson Philippe and his future great-grandchildren.
 
In the early 1930s, the company was ideally located near La Haye-Descartes train station. The goods were sorted on site as soon as they arrived and then left in wagons dedicated to specific types of products.
 
In 1974, Pierre and Philippe decided to settle in the industrial zone of Descartes. The company took a new turn in 1985 when Philippe Pascault invested in a shear press.
The company then specializes over the years in sorting, collecting, recovering, shearing and bundling / baling recoverable waste before shipment. They also add recycling and waste recovery to their activities.
 
The arrival of the 2000s marks the centenary of the company and the arrival of Charlotte, Raoul's great-great-granddaughter, as head of the Pascault company.
