About

Paprec is a multinational European recycling company. It is currently facing scrutiny and legal action due to several workplace accidents, including fatal incidents. Recent news highlights two specific cases: one involving Paul Masselin, who suffered severe injuries in a 2022 accident at the Lansargues plant, and another concerning the death of Jules Pertet in 2023 at the Nîmes site. In the latter case, Paprec and the Nîmes site director were convicted of involuntary manslaughter, resulting in a €225,000 fine, which the company is appealing. The company faces additional trials related to other serious or fatal workplace accidents in the coming months. These events have brought attention to Paprec's safety practices and raised concerns about worker safety within the organization.
