Raise the guidelines to promote the recycling of plastic? This is the idea of the government, which will introduce in July a bill to fight against waste. Brunette Poirson, Secretary of State to the Minister of Ecological and Solidarity Transition, came to explain the measure to the microphone of Matthew Belliard, Wednesday evening. "I committed to a big bang in the trash of the French," she said. "In particular, it means setting up the deposit, and in France, our plastic collection and recycling performance is at a plateau, because the system has never been organized to meet the target of 90% of collected plastics. However, in a city like Paris, less than one in ten plastic bottles is recycled. "
Reduce, reuse, recycle
In fact, the recycling rate of plastics in France is painfully high at 26.5%. "We have three goals," says the Secretary of State. "The first is to reduce plastic objects for single use, the second is to develop the reuse, we can reuse some plastic boxes, then we must recycle.And to recycle, we must be able to collect all these bottles, all these plastic packaging, which ends up at best in the trash, at worst on the beaches ".
To achieve this, structural measures will have to be put in place and the Secretary of State explained that she launched a steering committee on Wednesday morning. This committee will have to ensure that the introduction of instructions does not harm the local authorities, who benefit from the sale of plastic "yellow bins". "I do not want to impose anything on elected officials, it is with them and for them that we will organize this deposit system," said Brune Poirson.
