The anti-waste law, what it includes

Fighting against waste, better informing consumers, saying goodbye to disposable plastic: here are some of the challenges of the anti-waste law.

The main axes

Promulgated on February 10, 2020, the anti-waste law aims to put in place several articles in order to fight against the different forms of waste: plastic, food or even overproduction.

This law has 5 main axes:

come out at all disposable
better inform consumers
fight against waste and for solidarity reuse
act against planned obsolescence
better produce

Transforming our economy

Efficient resource management

Getting out of a linear system (all disposable) and moving towards a circular economy is one of the main subjects of this law. To do this, several steps need to be modified:

better design products to make them more sustainable
adopt responsible consumption by educating consumers more
create new resources through waste sorting and recycling

This circular economy can allow companies to better control their production and their impact on the environment. Some expert research teams are able to imagine innovative systems in line with the challenges and constraints of your company. Whether it is an optimization or a transformation of the value chain.

Goals to come

Better inform the consumer

Make sorting more efficient thanks to a unique logo, sorting methods and harmonization of the color of the bins
Require the availability to the public of information about products containing endocrine disruptors in a format that can be exploited by applications
Communicate to consumers the equivalent of their internet and mobile greenhouse gas consumption
Require information on the legal guarantee of conformity

Fight against waste and for solidarity reuse

Prohibit the disposal of unsold non-food items
Fight against food waste
Create funds for reuse
Allow drugs to be sold individually
Stop the systematic printing of receipts
Putting the circular economy at the heart of public procurement
