Sustainable waste management

Sustainable waste management


Waste management involves taking responsibility for a product at the end of its life by collecting it, processing it and, where possible, recycling it.

 

Recently, sustainable waste management places emphasis on reusing the waste product as a resource or a raw material, and encourages recycling or repairing the product rather than sending it to landfill. This is so the constant increase in the quantity of waste is more efficiently managed, which is important due to the increasing environmental and social constraints and growing costs related to
it.

 

As a result of the many projects BIO has carried out at local, national and European level, BIO is perfectly familiar with the issues and stakeholders involved in sustainable waste management.

 

BIO Intelligence Service supports organisations in the optimisation of their waste management practices by providing:

 

  • status
    reports, benchmarks, analysis of flows and information systems, LCA, etc.
  • techno-economic
    studies, cost efficiency analyses, evaluation of waste management
    optimisation plans at a local or national level.

Assessment of 14 programmes for the collection and treatment of ELV in Europe

BIO Intelligence Service has studied the management of the programmes for collecting and recycling End-of-Life Vehicles in certain EU countries.


Since the application of Directive 2000/53/CE, there has been a specific processing system for End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) in the various EU Member States, in accordance with the principle of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).


As the European authorities considered that the directive had been incorrectly and incompletely transposed into French law, BIO assisted the ADEME and the MEEDDM in evaluating 14 ELV collection and treatment programmes in Europe.


For each programme, the study analysed:

  • Systems in place prior to application of the directive;
  • How the various participants in the collection and treatment programmes are currently organised;
  • The financial support mechanisms put in place;
  • The incentive/penalty mechanisms that are applied to encourage owners to include their ELVs in the approved programme;
  • The results obtained in terms of reuse, recycling and recovery rates.


The best practices and areas for improvement were identified for each programme, and this provided the French authorities with avenues to explore as they decided on how to revise the French regulations.
