Since its entry into force in 2023, the EPR PMCB (Produits et Matériaux de Construction du Bâtiment) requires all manufacturers of construction materials to finance the management of waste from their products.
But the Fédération de l'industrie du béton (FIB), the Fédération nationale des industries du recyclage (Federec Béton), and the Union nationale des producteurs de granulats (UNPG) believe that the current system does not reflect the realities of inert materials such as concrete, aggregates or solid mineral materials.
In their view, the current EPR was designed on the basis of a model inspired by light waste sorted at waste collection centers (plaster, wood, plastics...), but unsuited to the volumes, logistics and technical constraints of the Scheme béton.
The representatives of Scheme béton make a clear proposal:
Create a secondEPR Scheme specifically dedicated to inert materials, with its own eco-organizations, its own scales and appropriate governance.
Objective:
An assessment report on the PMCB EPR is due to be submitted to the government in autumn 2025. The Concrete Scheme intends to put forward its position, with the support of several local authorities faced with the rising costs of managing this waste.
For manufacturers, distributors and importers of construction products, this reform proposal is a signal not to be ignored:
Against a backdrop of regulatory revisions, marketers already need to anticipate possible scenarios and structure their product data.
