46 million tonnes of waste. This is what the manufacturing sector produces every year. building In France. These astronomical quantities escaped until May 1, 2023 at recyclingwhich is no longer the case since the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (REP) PMCB for “building construction products and materials”, within the framework of the anti-gaspi law “AGEC” of February 2020.
The idea? Recover the waste produced by the BTP – businesses and artisans among others – by creating 2,000 collection points in France by the end of 2023, with a mesh from one point every 10 to 20 kilometers. And make the materials sellers pay.
The price of the eco-contribution still unknown for 2024
Initially scheduled for January 1, the REP aims to valuation waste and avoid illegal dumping of materials in nature and landfill. However, it is very difficult to put in place:
The communities have not rushed to agree with the four eco-organizations approved by the State, to which marketers must adhere.
Eric SavarySecretary general of the Manche Confederation of Crafts and Small Building Companies (Capeb).
In the Manche region, around twenty collection points have emerged, not always evenly distributed across the territory.
If these places are difficult to flourish in the territory, other difficulties give a hard time for construction professionals. Starting with theeco-contribution that marketers must pay, but pass on to the price of materials. “It has not yet been defined for 2024 and we are in November… It is not easy to include it in the prices without knowing its amount,” underlines the specialist.
THE schedules and the volumes differ depending on the collection points. There is also the obligation to complete a slip. Enough to give the craftsmen heads in knots. In addition, “the documentation relating to sorting instructions, to know what it is possible to throw away, only arrived a month ago”, i.e. more than five months after the application of this new regulations.
For Éric Savary, the deployment of this Rep will still take time, “two or three years for it to operate at full capacity”. In the meantime, the bosses of companies in the sector still keep, “for many”, their skips to go to the recycling center, “a service that they pay for in addition to the eco-contribution”.
The new products, virtuous from an ecological point of view, will not stop there. In 2025, a new Rep is expected, one dedicated to packaging and which will also concern construction professionals.
