The TGAP applies to companies that pollute or use polluting products.

There are four components of TGAP: waste, emissions, laundry and extraction materials.

Higher rates

The TGAP tariffs, with the exception of those for non-hazardous waste, are amended annually "in a proportion equal to the growth rate of the non-tobacco consumer price index for the penultimate year".

With regard to the TGAP on non-hazardous waste, an order of 23 October 2024 sets an increase to 1^er January 2025 of 5 € per ton of the applicable tariff.

In addition, this Order removes TGAP's reduced rates, except those available to:

• installations with a high energy efficiency of 0,65 or more;
• high calorific value residues resulting from high-performance sorting operations and recovered in a heat treatment installation whose energy efficiency is greater than or equal to 0.70.

This increase in tariffs is intended to significantly reduce the amount of non-hazardous non-inert waste received at non-hazardous waste storage facilities.
