Question 13217 — building and public works

Summary

Mr. Michel Sala questions the Minister of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion on the situation and concerns of stakeholders in the wood industry regarding the extended responsibility of the producer of building construction products and materials (REP PMCB). Beyond the current deteriorating situation, the sector is concerned due to regulatory application specific to EPR. The latter seems to create a distortion of competition between construction materials to the detriment of wood and biosourced materials. Articles L. 541-10-1 (4°) and L. 541-10-23 of the Environmental Code in their wording taken respectively from Article 62 and Article 72 of the “AGEC” law set the obligations incumbent on eco-organizations and distributors concerned by this new REP sector. The concrete regulatory implementation of the “AGEC” law, in within the framework of the PMCB REP, came into force on May 1, 2023. In fact, the amount of the eco-contribution between all the actors of the eco-organizations, on the basis of the specifications, will begin to increase, from 2024 and until 2027, which will be difficult to bear for the wood sector. Even though the Government has set very ambitious objectives concerning a massification of the strategic sector of wood as part of the ecological transition. In fact, the cost of processing building waste in the PMCB REP is 23 euros per cubic meter for wood and only 3.5 euros for concrete. In addition, it generates distortions of competition with imported products, France being a better bidder than the rest of the European Union. The price effect generated by this increase in the scales of the eco-organization will logically lead to a preference for concrete and steel, sending a signal inconsistent with the decarbonization objectives of the building sector. He therefore asks it to indicate how the Government has established the scales concerning the various materials subject to the PMCB REP and whether the Government intends to take corrective measures to compensate for a possible error in the regulatory calibration of the PMCB REP.
