     INTRODUCTION

    All activities generate waste (production scraps, packaging, etc.).

    • Are they all really waste under the terms of article L. 541-1-1 of the French Environment Code?

    • Are you a waste producer?

    • Finally, what is the definition of waste?

    • What are your management obligations?

    • Can you optimize your waste management both environmentally and economically?

    Depending on the type of waste and your status with regard to facilities classified for environmental protection, your obligations will differ.

    Good waste management not only helps you meet regulatory requirements, but also reduces your treatment costs.

    The aim of this chapter is to guide you in identifying and characterizing your waste, defining the obligations you must meet, and optimizing your waste management.
