Every year in France, waste management poses a significant challenge for local authorities and industry professionals, with approximately 340 million tonnes of waste generated.

The waste management industry includes all activities related to the collection, treatment and recycling of waste. With 1,600 companies operating in the sector, it serves as a key economic pillar, generating over 112,110 direct jobs.

Waste management and recycling are tangible responses to today’s environmental and economic challenges. By efficiently collecting and recycling waste, the sector actively contributes to preserving natural resources while creating local jobs. However, achieving the objectives of the circular economy requires addressing several major challenges.
