Ecoparc Industriel

The foundation for the creation of a zone of economic activity is always to allow the establishment in its territory of enterprises, to promote economic development,and to create jobs. The industrial ecopark approach goes further by encouragingpractices that respect the environment and minimizing its impact on the environment.

The creation of such an activity park, the accompaniment of engaged companies is the result of an assumed political will. Only this commitment is able to unite all the economic, political and actors around precise objectives and to associate the appropriate legal, financial, human and technical means. It constitutes an ecopark a zone of economic activity: 

• Whose design is geared towards an ecosystem functioning (recycling of waste from the company set up as resources for itself and others, recovery of runoff water, production of energy, etc.)

• Which services are marked by research of multimodality

• Design and realization meet high environmental quality and versatility criteria. 

This approach goes beyond the simple qualitative landscape treatment that has often characterized activity parks using this denomination. Charter for the development of the Ecopark of the City of Saint-Bruno :
