Must materials distributors still take back construction waste?

1111 questions from 157 articles available in English.

Yes, while the reform remains unpublished: the take-back requirement in Article L. 541-10-8 of the Environmental Code applies, under its Article R. 541-160, to distributors whose sales area for construction products and materials exceeds 4,000 m², including adjoining storage. The draft decree restricted this requirement to distributors included in the network defined by the regions, a point the Conseil d’État did not challenge.
