pollution :
a better identif ied increase
On the rise during recent years , PCB pollution
levels remained unchanged in 2025 . This sit -
uation can namely be explained by obsolete
transformers — some of which still contain oils
which have been prohibited for several decades
— reaching their end - of - life . With a lifespan of 50 to 60 years , this
equipment is now provoking pollution in companies which are not
always prepared to manage it . This consistent trend in reported
pollution incidents can also be explained by the introduction of a
f inancial support scheme by CYCLEVIA , as part of its accreditation ,
for cases where the source cannot be identif ied By providing
reassurance to waste collectors in such situations it encourages
a more comprehensive reporting of incidents observed in the
f ield Faced with operations that may involve six f igure sums the
involved companies now know that they can turn to the producer
responsibility organisation for assistance CYCLEVIA then funds
the intervention of a specialist organisation which is the only
body capable of handling this waste This f inancial support helps
to bring to light situations that were previously overlooked due
to a lack of solutions
