Question 7967 — waste

Summary

Mr. René Pilato draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, Forests, Sea and Fisheries to the persistent dysfunctions of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) sector for construction products and materials in the building sector. Since its implementation in May 2023, this system, established by the anti-waste law for a circular economy (AGEC) with the aim of reduction of construction waste, struggles to fulfill its mission. While companies are subject to mandatory eco-contributions, the recovery rate for category 2 waste (wood, plaster, metal, etc.) does not exceed 7% and direct collection on site remains almost non-existent. Although collection points are now present in the territory, their access remains restricted and only concerns a tiny part of the waste produced. By Elsewhere, companies denounce a total lack of transparency in the management of eco-organizations, which impose sudden price increases, without notice or justification, complicating the establishment of quotes and economically weakening artisans and entrepreneurs. Eco-organizations, which are private structures, today concentrate large sums of money without sufficient public control or guarantee of allocation for specific purposes. operational. Faced with these failures, a moratorium was announced in March 2025 by the Minister. However, the first consultations raised serious concerns about the real scale of the envisaged reform. Many professional actors fear that the “refoundation” will be purely cosmetic and that the rare advances in favor of businesses will be suspended. Above all, the Minister had announced that these consultations were to be concluded at the beginning of May 2025. However, as of June 2025, no feedback has been officially communicated. This delay legitimately worries professionals and casts doubt on the Government's real desire to fundamentally reform the sector. Also, he wishes to know within what concrete deadlines the Government intends to make public the results of the consultation and what measures it intends to take to ensure ambitious overhaul of the governance of REP Bâtiment, including representatives of craft and construction companies.
