ORDIF | Rising waste management costs: what’s at stake for local authorities in France?

Between 2019 and 2023, the cost of waste management services in France rose by an average of 13%, creating uncertainty for local authorities amid inflation, fiscal changes, and new regulations. What are the concrete impacts of these trends? Which territories have managed to improve performance while controlling costs? These questions will be at the heart of the upcoming Waste and Circular Economy Morning Session hosted by ORDIF, offering an overview of current challenges and future priorities for the next political term. 

Despite widespread cost increases, some municipalities have managed to keep spending under control. Waste reduction, improved recycling, and source separation of biowaste have proven to be key levers for optimizing public services. Testimonies from committed local authorities will highlight effective budget management strategies and showcase successful circular initiatives.
