    Data transmission to the national electronic waste register


    Scope of application

    All operators of establishments producing, shipping, importing, exporting or brokering hazardous waste, excavated soil and sediment, as well as collectors, transporters, traders and operators of transit, consolidation or treatment facilities for hazardous waste, excavated soil and sediment.

    More precisely, the wastes concerned by this obligation are
    • Hazardous waste (see official list)
    • Asbestos waste
    • Infectious waste (DASRI)
    • Refrigerants
    By extension, the packaging of these products, even empty, is considered as hazardous waste.

    Exclusion

    Households are exempt from the obligation.

    Persons using the public waste management service defined in articles L. 2224-13 and L. 2224-14 of the general code of local authorities are exempt from the obligation to keep the register of establishments producing or shipping waste for waste collected by the public waste management service.

    The following companies are also exempt from the obligation to keep a waste monitoring register (and thus transmitting related data):
    • which transport the waste they produce and which are subject to the legislative provisions on classified installations;
    • which only carry out the collection of household waste on behalf of public authorities;
    • which carry out the delivery of new products and equipment which take back from final consumers waste similar to these products and equipment, including their packaging, in the course of their distribution activity.
    However, companies that transport soiled soil or licensed waste oil collectors are not exempt from the obligation to keep a waste tracking register.

    Description

    Until 1 January 2022, the companies concerned had to keep a chronological register of the production, dispatch, receipt and treatment of this waste and of the products and materials resulting from the recovery of this waste.

    From now on, the companies concerned by wates falling within the scope of the obligation must transmit the data constituting the register electronically to the Minister responsible for the environment. These data will constitute a centralised electronic database called the "national waste register".

    This centralised national register contains the same information as the former waste monitoring register, namely
    • The quantity, nature and origin of waste produced, handed over or taken in charge;
    • The quantity of products and materials resulting from the preparation for reuse, recycling or other recovery operations of this waste;
    • And, if applicable, the destination, frequency of collection, means of transport and intended treatment or disposal method for this waste.
    The transmission of data shall take place no later than 7 days after the generation, shipment, receipt or treatment of the waste or products and materials from waste recovery, and whenever necessary to update or make a correction/modification.
