 INTRODUCTION

Waste in its entirety is now a global problem. Our consumer society has led us to use raw materials to manufacture a variety of objects, which we then either throw into the sea (the seventh continent of plastic in the Pacific) or bury (in disused quarries or landfill).

This waste can be inert, non-hazardous or hazardous, or even very hazardous, and is always bulky.

The eternal question is: how do we want to leave the planet to our children? It's a question we need to answer quickly and effectively.

For several years now, we've been talking about landfill, then treatment (on the site where the waste is produced or in specific places); we then have to add the question of transporting the waste, hence the problem of illegal landfills. Regulations are advancing, and as raw materials become scarce, we're talking about waste recovery. A logical chain is created: production of waste (production waste, demolition waste, etc.), sorting of this waste (on site or in specific locations), ultimate waste going to destruction, treated waste taking on a value and returning to use.

But isn't the best waste the one we don't produce?
