En bref
Les règles régissant la traçabilité des opérations de sortie du statut de déchets sont sur le point d’être précisées par décret.
Following a period of legal confusion after the adoption of the Green Industry Act, the rules governing the traceability of end-of-waste operations will be clarified by a decree amending Article R.541-3 of the Environmental Code.
It is now certain that:
- waste that ceases to be waste due to its incorporation into products manufactured by a product manufacturing facility (“implicit” end-of-waste procedure) does not need to be declared in the national waste register;
- waste that has ceased to be waste in accordance with European regulations or national decrees setting criteria for the end-of-waste status (explicit end-of-waste procedure) must be declared in the national waste register.
The deadline for entries in the register has been adjusted and will now be one month following completion of the end-of-waste operation.
