Combating waste, sorting and recovery... Prepare for the 1er January 2025? Do you want to get informed and develop an action plan? The Ademe (Environment and Energy Management Agency) has recently published a guide for craftsmen, traders, communities and administrations producing and holding waste in order to raise awareness about waste management.
Preparing for the upcoming deadlines
The objective of this guide is to prepare the companies for the sorting of the 9 flows planned for the 1er january 2025.
These 9 waste streams are:
paper/cardboard
metals;
plastics;
glass;
wood;
mineral fractions;
plaster;
bio-waste (non-hazardous biodegradable garden or park waste, food or kitchen waste from households, offices, restaurants, wholesale trade, canteens, caterers or retail stores, as well as comparable waste from food processing plants);
textiles.
Before this important deadline, the bio-waste sorting obligation threshold will be lowered to 5 tons per year at 1er January 2023 before being deleted on December 31, 2023.
A recommended action plan
The guide published by the Ademe sets out four main priorities for the sectors concerned by this sorting:
to draw up an inventory (to assess the volume of waste, to record their management costs);
identify supply chains and suppliers (review its waste management, compare the offers of the different suppliers);
setting up sorting (organization, staff awareness, etc.);
follow up (ask the provider for the annual collection certificate, internal communication of the results...).
