2023 to April

2024, in partnership

with Barbotteau Group,

are encouraging. The six

self-deposit collection

points located on the

premises of Midas

and Norauto enabled

a signif icant amount

of oils and packaging

to be collected. This

solution targeting

private individuals

and informal garages

was very popular in

sectors located further

away from municipal

recycling facilities

and in working-class

neighbourhoods where

people change their

own oil. The initiative

also contributed

to reduce illegal

dumping and raise

awareness among

private individuals.

These positive results

encourage the

continuation of the

system and its rolling-

and mainland

France in 2025.

he “Cirque de Mafate” is a UNESCO

world heritage site. Located between

1,500 and 2,000 meters in altitude,

it is only accessible on foot. It took

a team from CYCLEVIA 12 hours to walk there

to reach the site’s dozen or so villages. Over two days,

the team observed the accumulation of waste oils,

mainly from the use of generators, and noted

the lack of knowledge on the damage the waste oils

can cause. In response to the situation, CYCLEVIA

and other producer responsibility organisations

volunteered to launch a collection operation steered

by the ADEME. This includes carrying out a massive

helicopter-hoisted collection operation and the

provision of special containers that comply with air

transport standards. Long-term collection points will

be installed to prevent waste from accumulating.

fter two years

of consultation with

the waste prevention and

management plan for overseas

territories was given the green

light by the public authorities

on 18 March 2024 This plan

sets out CYCLEVIAs roadmap

until 2027 Its mission is to

achieve the same collection

and recycling performance in

the seven territories under its

responsibility as in mainland

France The plan includes the

removal of waste accumulated

in the Indian Ocean

territories, the development

of complementary collection

solutions in the Caribbean

and wherever possible the

study of treatment solutions

Far from being constrained

by this framework CYCLEVIAs

work is enriched locally

by the lessons learned

from initial experiments

and exchanges with local

stakeholders which provide

ASSESSEMENT OF THE SITUATION

IN GUADELOUPE ISLANDS

In December, CYCLEVIA went

to La Désirade, Marie-Galante

and Saintes for the first time to carry

out an audit. Equipment inspections

and observation of the municipal recycling

facilities’ organisation and professional

practices showed that local teams are highly

committed but also revealed situations

that were sometimes critical. In consultation

with local partners, CYCLEVIA has planned

to take action to improve collection

and better protect these territories.
