Ecological concerns

PY'STILL is a pyrenean society eco-friendly and innovative, fully involve in a continuous improvment process.

Our first step was to take over an hydrodistillation workshop existing 250 m² built in the Pyrenees in 1992. The location of our processing plant in the heart of the Pyrenees means that our ecological footprint is optimised and integrated into the constraints of an optimal Quality System. 

Nous intégrons l’ensemble des enjeux de transition écologique et énergétique concrètement dans nos actions et choix au quotidien. 

Our DNA

  • Concentrated hydrolates, without prespervatives
  • Organic certified products (AB by Ecocert)

Atelier de distillation

THE DISTILLATION WORKSHOP

 

Located in Bagnères de Bigorre, our workshop is the hub of PY'STILL. It is here that we supply the plants for distillation. The quality system is designed to ensure that incoming products are kept separate from processed products right through to packaging. Access is facilitated for deliveries and dispatches.

This small steel plant was specially designed in 1992 to distil plants. Since 2000, it has been constantly upgraded to meet pharmaceutical and cosmetic standards.

Set in wooded grounds on the banks of the Adour River, which flows down from the mountains, we use a predominantly hydroelectric energy mix. Once the organic plant marc has been used up, it is composted on our site to enrich the soil as required.

Low Impact

Our aim is to reduce our environmental footprint as much as possible, using the recognised environmental display method (global impact, Life Cycle Analysis, eco-design). To be continued in 2024-2025 !

Act for our territory

 

The "Pyrenees" brand is launched and we were present to the official ceremony at Pyrénéo

Communauté de Commune de Haute-Bigorre

 

The CCHB, and in particular the economic development department, has been supporting us in the PY'STILL venture since the project phase. This remarkable dynamism supports the transformation of local areas.

Bagnères de Bigorre

 

A town where life is good! On a human scale, in the heart of the Hautes-Pyrénées, Bagnères de Bigorre was built on the spa industry, which has a rich history dating back to Gallo-Roman times, but also on industry, which is constantly changing.

CCI

The Hautes-Pyrénées Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) helped us with business start-ups and takeovers, and continues to support us on all entrepreneurial issues.

EDF, une rivière, un territoire

Les 7 Agences « EDF, Une rivière, un territoire » travaillent avec les tissus industriels des vallées hydrauliques pour faciliter l’accès des TPE-PME aux marchés d’EDF Hydro. Plus de 1 800 entreprises sont référencées dans les panels d’achats fournisseurs. 

PY’STILL a signé une convention bilatérale pour soutenir notre démarche de développement durable. Le mix énergétique du Haut-Adour est majoritairement hydro-électrique grâce à des centrales exploitées par EDF. La centrale de Campan célèbre cette année ses 70 ans !
