  • Law no. 2020-105 of 10 February 2020 on preventing waste and on the circular economy requires producers to provide consumers with more information on the environmental characteristics of their products, based on a large number of criteria (durability, reparability, reusability, recyclability, etc.). In particular, this includes the obligation to display simple information on the repairability of electrical and electronic equipment, in the form of a "repairability index” from 2021. From 2024, this repairability index will be supplemented or replaced by a “durability index” including new criteria, such as product reliability and robustness
Resource Circulation / Disposal

Existing

  1. Landfill tonnage
  2. Use of secondary raw materials in production processes
  3. Food waste
  1. The law no. 2015/992 of 17 August 2015 on the energy transition for green growth (LTECV) provides for a 30% reduction in the quantities of non-hazardous non-inert waste admitted to landfill by 2020 compared to 2010 and a 50% reduction by 2025.
  2. The law no. 2020-105 of 10 February 2020 on the prevention of waste and the circular economy stipulates that certain products and materials will have to include a minimum level of recycled material, with the exception of those made from renewable raw materials and provided that the environmental impact of this process is positive
  3. law no.2020-105 of10 February 2020 related to the prevention of waste and the circular economy has set a target of reducing food waste by 50% vs its 2015 level in the areas of food retail and collective catering by 2025 and in the fields of consumption, production, transformation and commercial catering by 2030.
Environmental Impact In The Context Of Circular Economy / Resource Efficiency

Existing

  • CO2 emissions avoided thanks to recycling
Social Impact In The Context Of Circular Economy / Resource Efficiency

No

  • he law no. 2020-105 of 10 February 2020 on the prevention of waste and the circular economy, in article 62, specifies that when eco-organisations award contracts for waste prevention or management, these contracts must include criteria relating to the employment of people eligible for the integration through economic activity scheme.
Economic Impact In The Context Of Circular Economy / Resource Efficiency

Existing, Planning

  1. Jobs in the repair of goods and recycling of materials
  2. Number of industrial symbiosis initiatives
  1. Article 70 of the Energy Transition Law for Green Growth (LTECV) of 17 August 2015 encourages the development of industrial symbiosis
Targets
Resource Input
Existing
  1. DMC/capita : target = reduction (result = -4,7% 2010/2018)
  2. Productivity : target = + 30 % / 2010-2030 (result = +12.3% 2010/2018)
  3. Material Footprint : target= decoupling from GDP
  1. LTECV (17/08/2015) article 74
  2. LTECV (17/08/2015) article 74
  3. SDG-12 (UN 2030 agenda)
Resource Use
Planning
  1. Household spending on product maintenance and repair : no target
  2. % of French people who repair or have repaired their broken products : Target : 60% in 2025 (result = 36% in 2019).
Resource Circulation
Existing
  1. Landfill tonnage : Target = - 30% of non-hazardous non-inert waste admitted to landfill by 2020 compared to 2010 and a 50% reduction by 2025. (Result = +1% in 2018 compared to 2010).
  2. Use of secondary raw materials in production processes. No target for the moment
  3. Food waste target : - 50% vs its 2015 level in the areas of food retail and collective catering by 2025 and in the fields of consumption, production, transformation and commercial catering by 2030.
  1. The product categories and their rate of inclusion in the production process, as well as their multiannual trajectory, will be set by law
