Labeling of the public service for the collection of household waste: strong increase in labeled communities between 2009 and 2010!

(...)

Between 2007 and 2010, the QualiTri and QualiPlus labels were awarded to 197 communities which decided to adopt a quality approach for their collection service. The year 2010 alone represents more than 46% of labeled communities and demonstrates the requirement of the latter on the service delivered to citizens.

Two labels for a quality approach
ADEME and Éco-Emballages have implemented the QualiTri and QualiPlus labels to improve the overall quality of collection services with the following objectives:
• promote the optimization of the collection service
• strengthen local animation
• capitalize on experiences and collect good practices

Labeling is a voluntary process offered to local authorities of more than 10 inhabitants with "collection" competence.

The key figures of this fourth edition 2010:
- 118 communities have submitted an application
- 99 of them were subject to an on-site audit
- 91 have been selected by the National Labeling Committee to receive a label:
- 68 communities are awarded the label to QualiTri
- 18 communities receive the two labels QualiTri and QualiPlus
- 5 communities, already labeled QualiTri during a previous edition, have access to the QualiPlus label.

2010 was the year of the revival for the Labeling, after two years when the number of candidate communities was decreasing, often for external reasons (electoral deadlines, economic crisis ...). Between 2009 and 2010, the number of labeled communities was multiplied by 3,5!

But above all, 2010 was an unprecedented year with regard to the quality of the files: 77% success rate, constantly increasing since 2007. This testifies to the increasingly precise knowledge by the communities of the criteria required the allocation of labels, which suggests that a large number of them are waiting to put their collection service in order before applying for the labels.

As a direct effect of the rise in the level of local authorities, the number of communities labeled QualiPlus is multiplied by 4 (from 7 to 30), and 15% of the candidates obtain both the QualiTri and QualiPlus labels during the same edition!

what is the exact content of these labels? is this not yet something like iso 14001 or whoever wants to be certified must define himself the objectives to achieve ... so ultimately does not mean much

to know what the ISO certification of a company is worth it would be necessary to know your file ... unfortunately not public ... so for me this kind of certification is almost in the wind

For this to really progress, it would first be necessary to reduce the waste to its very origin, ie from the factory.
Advertisements (government) encourage us to reduce our waste, while the industrialists have to act.

A small example with Tetra Pack:

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetra_Pak

Note it:8,1 billion euros in turnover.



In fact, once again, there is absolutely no question of solving the problem, but of perpetuating it over time with the development of "measures" which will not change the finality of the thing ... because household waste is, it must be remembered, a real goose that lays golden eggs for manufacturers.

[Christophe]

It is an Ademe + partner label:

There are the details on the page of the quoted ademe:

These two labels are in line with the objectives of the Grenelle Environment Forum by encouraging better waste collection and recovery rates and by introducing an assessment of the environmental impact of the collection service. The quality of the files studied this year shows a heightened requirement among communities.

From QualiTri to QualiPlus: an increasing level of requirements
The selection criteria for the QualiTri label are grouped around 4 axes representative of quality:
• Service: satisfy users with information (annual report, local communication, etc.)
• Economy: knowing and controlling management costs (cost study, monitoring of routes, etc.)
• Environment: improve performance and limit impacts (waste recovery rate, evaluation of fuel consumption, collection of hazardous waste, etc.)
• Social: improve the health and safety conditions of staff

The QualiPlus label includes more demanding criteria:
• Reinforcement of QualiTri criteria concerning the level of collection performance, reflecting a mastery of the levers for optimizing the service,
• Introduction of new criteria: CO2 reduction policy, secure collection operations, eco-responsible purchasing policy

The labeling process

The entire labeling process - from the validation of the criteria to the choice of the winning communities - was carried out within the framework of the National Labeling Committee, composed of ADEME, Éco-Emballages, d'Amorce, the National Recycling Circle, the Association of Mayors of France, the Assembly of Communities of France and the National Federation of Depollution and Environment Activities and a community labeled QualiPlus in 2009, SMIRGEOM Est Sarthe.

A small example with Tetra Pack:

You are right, but I think the example of Tetra pack is a bad example. Because in this case, the long-life milk carton, the packaging is a necessary evil: who can still dare to pretend to buy milk from the farm directly every day?

Then energetically a tetra pack is not bad: it can be stored for months and not worth putting in the fridge if sealed!

Over-packaging, mini or single doses are a much more easily solved "public waste" problem. But they are clearly in full swing marketing!

After yes a Tetra Pack (from 3 to 7 layers of very different materials: aluminum, cardboard, plastic ...) it is not necessarily easily recyclable ...

household waste is, it must be remembered, a real goose that lays golden eggs for industrialists.

+1 ... but are you talking before or after use?

ps: we are still a long way from the example of Belgian luxembourg where we are (in Strasbourg, labeled, in the latest news there are only 2 trash cans, we have ... 10 counting the sorting ...) .

See the "photo report" that we did at home in 2006:

The best waste is that which does not exist.
It would not be utopian to do away with packaging such as plastic bottles, cartons of milk, orange juice, etc. by a self-service system in stores where everyone could "refuel" using bottles in reusable glass.
For milk, this would force local purchases and favor local producers, who need them very much.
With such a measure alone there would be at least 20% less waste.

[Christophe]

Yes it is possible, there are indeed automatic milk dispensers whose Latteria model filled directly by the producer but far too rare at the moment; pictures here:

In either case, if there is no more packaging, many companies will close.
For waste I do not think that SITA (Suez group) contradicts me ... €€€€!

Why are initiatives of this kind not widespread then?
Instead of making ads (paying through our taxes) and making us feel guilty about the waste they produce for their wallets, they should start by finding the real solutions, which consist in acting on the very basis of the problem ... but hey it would look too much like decay (ouh the bad word!)

You gave the answer yourself but I think you got the font size wrong, when we talk about big money, you have to write roughly:

€ € € €

Hey be polite, now have to say "negative growth" please
What a farce ...

Inauguration of the new selective collection sorting chain in Romainville

on the 29th February 2016

After 9 months of work, the new Romainville sorting line, to which Est Ensemble is transporting part of the waste collected on the territory has just been inaugurated. It now allows all plastic packaging and small metal packaging to be added to the sorting system.


Simplify waste sorting for residents

4 out of 5 French people have doubts when sorting their packaging. In order to make the sorting gesture simpler and therefore more efficient, thanks to the new sorting line in Romainville, all residents of Est Ensemble can now throw plastic packaging (pots, trays, films and sachets) into their sorting bin. plastics, etc.) and small metal packaging (coffee capsules, trays and aluminum foil, metal boxes and tubes, etc.).

This new sorting line was inaugurated on Thursday, February 18, in the presence of Gérard Cosme, President of Est Ensemble, Alain Périès, Advisor of Est Ensemble delegated to the Territoire du Faubourg in Pantin, Corinne Valls, Mayor of Romainville, Stéphane Troussel , President of the Department of Seine-Saint-Denis, Claude Bartolone, President of the National Assembly and Hervé Marseille, President of Syctom.

45 tonnes of waste sorted each year

In order to be able to process this new plastic and metallic waste, the capacity of this new sorting line has increased from 30 to 000 tonnes per year., with a throughput of 15 tonnes per hour.

The modernization works of the Romainville sorting center started in March 2015, with the demolition of the old sorting line, then the construction of a new sorting line, the repair of the roof and the sorting hall and the upgrading of the smoke extraction system and the fire safety system, which represents an investment of 26,9 million euros.

Improve working conditions and safety

This new process also improves the working conditions of agents, in particular sorters whose actions are now limited to over-sorting operations, thus assigning them a quality control role. The renovation of the roof and the upgrading of the fire protection system also ensure the quality and safety of the installation.
