Household WEEE and lamps
Key figures
OPERA, invitations to tender and control policy
2021 proved to be an intense year when our teams focused on ensuring that this new IT solution was operational as of 1st February 2022 at the same time as the start up of new logistical and treatment contracts. Otherwise, to guarantee treatment quality, a new operator and waste management operators control policy, uniform across all business sectors is being rolled out.
National recycling and recovery rates
Collecting used appliances and lamps is a source of raw materials. From the 670,020 tonnes of household WEEE collected nationally by ecosystem in 2021:
- 76,8 % were recycled,
- 88,8 % have been recovered in various forms (energy, backfill, etc.).
- The remaining tonnages (that cannot be recovered) were isolated and treated by specialised facilities.
In regard to the glass from cathode ray tubes, regulations do not authorize its recycling and Europe does have a recovery industry. Within this context, in France, their exportation is not authorized.

Environmental review
In order continue to go further in recycling quality ecosystem evaluates the environmental footprint of each stage of the recycling chain (waste transport, depollution, material recycling, etc.). This review shows the environmental benefits of recycling that enable resources to be regenerated. Currently, it covers the entire scope in electrical and electronic household appliances and lamps.
