À propos - W Platform

About us

W Platform's mission is to design and implement systems for the treatment and recovery of gaseous effluents, and in particular the capture and treatment of CO2 from fermentative sources, whether from viticulture, brewing or methanization, to enable their reuse in a circular economy.

The origins

W Platform is a company founded in 2021 by Jean-Philippe Ricard and Matthieu Planté. These two entrepreneurs combine their experience and skills to develop new offerings for the wine, brewing, agricultural and industrial sectors. Their wish is to promote respect for the environment, the implementation of circular economies, but also to embrace new digital technologies to optimize productivity.
