The local integration of waste management, made effective with state plans and reaffirmed through new approaches, will be reinforced by the rise in the energy stake, precisely by the desire for a territorialized apprehension of production energetic.
The invitations to relocate energy production are accompanied by renewed interest in heating networks, among which those supplied by household waste. More generally, the need for local energy planning (expert suggest the development of a local energy and energy management scheme) encourages coupling between the waste and energy sectors.
This would involve thinking jointly of energy production and waste treatment in the context of local public service schemes, an occasion for joint reflection on waste management, regional planning and energy production.
In addition to the geographic and technical adequacy with the deposits of waste, the management systems must therefore be organized with regard to their downstream function, in this case recovery opportunities.
In addition to the objective of elimination using methods that respect the environment and the principle of proximity between deposit and treatment, that of taking charge of outgoing flows was reaffirmed recently during the design of disposal circuits. The collection and intermediate and ultimate treatment of all waste must be thought of on a regional scale at the same time as land use, energy policies (for the recovery of those waste that can contribute to energy production) and greenhouse gas reduction waste.
