Following on from the work of the ‘Club of Rome’ in the early 1970s, the principle of economic players (manufacturers, distributors, importers, marketers) taking responsibility for all or part of waste management was introduced into French law in 1975. However, it was not until the early 1990s that a system for processing household packaging was established. From the 2000s onwards, other specialised channels were set up, depending on the characteristics of the waste to be treated.
