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 1^er january 2025.

These 9 waste streams are:

1. paper/cardboard
2. metals;
3. plastics;
4. glass;
5. wood;
6. mineral fractions;
7. plaster;
8. 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);
9. textiles.

Before this important deadline, the bio-waste sorting obligation threshold will be lowered to 5 tons per year at 1^er 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:

1. to draw up an inventory (to assess the volume of waste, to record their management costs);
2. identify supply chains and suppliers (review its waste management, compare the offers of the different suppliers);
3. setting up sorting (organization, staff awareness, etc.);
4. follow up (ask the provider for the annual collection certificate, internal communication of the results...).
