Question 5900 — waste

Summary

Mr. Thomas Lam questions the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, responsible for commerce, crafts, small and medium-sized businesses and the social and solidarity economy, on the government's ambitions to further stimulate the establishment of a French circular economy. We must first recall the efforts made in recent years which today France is one of the best performing countries in the European Union in terms of circularity rate, i.e. the share of material resources used coming from recycled waste. The visit of Jessika Roswall, European Commissioner for the environment, water resilience and a competitive circular economy, to Paris in March 2025, and her meeting with the Prime Minister were an opportunity to display the ambitions of the EU in terms of circularity of the economy. A European act on this subject is planned for 2026 and aims to make Europe the first circular economy in the world by 2030. In this context, France can reaffirm its status as a European leader in this area by defining a clear roadmap for the years to come accompanied by ambitious objectives. Indeed, even if the demand for materials is significant today, there remains cheaper for manufacturers to buy virgin materials than recycled or reused ones. Another central issue is the treatment and reuse of wastewater, for which the 2023 water plan has already outlined possible solutions. To respond to all these concerns, he therefore asks what efforts the Government intends to implement to further promote the circular economy in France.
