Eisenia Lyon, established in 2013 by a dynamic team, is an association dedicated to promoting and implementing projects that harmonize ecology, economy, and social initiatives. Originally focused on vermicomposting, Eisenia extends its mission to foster social ecology and offer realistic solutions for recycling organic waste. The association works actively to integrate disadvantaged communities into the ecological transition, creating connections between social work and environmental advocacy. Eisenia helps combat food waste and promotes a new ecological model while adhering to the principles of the waste management hierarchy known as the five Rs: Reduce, Repair, Reuse, Recycle, and Reinvent.

In addition to vermicomposting, Eisenia provides collective composters, organizes participatory workshops, and offers training in sustainable practices. The association also champions the use of Linux and Populus for accessible computing solutions. With a commitment to ecological responsibility, Eisenia Lyon stands as a vital resource for both individuals and communities seeking to make environmentally conscious choices.
