Each year in France, we generate 12 million tonnes of food waste called biowaste. These are all the leftovers from our meals which include plants, but also meat, fish. That’s almost one third of our grey dustbins. And to try and visualise these 12 million tonnes, you can imagine 400 aircraft carriers of the Charles-de-Gaulle type in single file, over 150 kilometres, that’s the distance between Nice and Toulon. And at the EU level, it’s even more because we are talking about 100 million tonnes. And 100 million tonnes, is almost ten times more than what we produce in France each year. This food waste seems harmless and yet it poses a real environmental problem. First of all, it reveals a massive waste of food. To produce food, we inevitably produce carbon dioxide. If we could start by reducing this waste, we would reduce our emissions. Sent to landfill, this waste will produce a juice called leachate, which can seep into the ground and contaminate the soil and the ground water. When it is sent to be incinerated, it is of no use, because burning water has never produced energy. The fact is that food waste is over 70% water. Even so, it holds great energetic and agronomic potential, since one tonne of bio-waste sent to methanisation will produce 100 cubic meters of biomethane. That’s a green renewable gas. 100 cubic meters of biomethane, is the energy equivalent of driving 1,000 kilometres by car. In addition to this biomethane, we also produce, for this same tonne, almost 800 kg of organic fertilizer. It’s for all of these reasons that a European regulation now requires sorting at source and recovery through methanisation and composting. So this regulation has been translated into French law. It is already applied to all large producers, meaning those who produce more than ten tonnes of bio-waste per year, a collective catering for 300 people, for example. But from 31 December 2023, it’s you, me, all of us who will have to sort this food waste to send them through the right channels. The town where you live will have to offer you a solution. So, that being said, setting up a new collection system, after glass, paper, cardboard, plastic, textiles, batteries, this can be a little complicated, even discouraging for some local authorities and some individuals. This poses a number of difficulties. For exemple, collection frequency issues, ergonomic issues, waste is sometimes heavy, hygiene issues, it doesn’t always smell nice, material quality issues, because there will also be a lot of plastic bags and packaging, waste sorting errors, cost issues and naturally motivation issues. But for all that, it really is something that needs to be done, because with urbanisation developing more and more and the challenges we’re going to face, it’ll be hard to escape changing our behaviours So, even so, simple, pragmatic pragmatic, local solutions exist. And I’ll give an exemple, the one which we implemented in many communities with Axibio. These are simple things. People sort their waste, people, individuals, but also retailers. Once they’ve sorted it, whenever they want to, they go to a special drop-off point, nearest to their home, a little like for textile or glass. Why do this on a voluntary basis? Well, because it’s much more economical than a door to door collection. These drop-off points are Equipped with access control and a weighing scale, both powered by solar energy. People identify themselves using a badge or their smartphone and when they drop off their waste, the weight of the waste will be recorded and linked to an ID. When the container inside of this drop-off point is full, it is then transported to an intermediate site, a small local site, equipped with a bio-separator. This is a machine you put all the bio-waste in and it will separate every sorting mistake found despite the goodwill of individuals and professionals. That means evacuating unwanted items such as yoghurt pots, mayonnaise sachet, plastic bags, vegetable nets, lids, cans, all sorts of things, so as to be able to supply pure, quality biomass, to the recovery units that are methanisation and composting which must comply with strict rules for returning these materials to the soil, where there must be no impurities. So, in this system, digital technology and weighing are an invaluable aid because individuals can use an application to check the amount of waste they produce throughout the year and visualize the contribution of their waste to the production of fertilizers and energy in their territory. And if they wish, they can also start watching their food waste. All of these factors help to change behaviours and involve users in this new collection which can sometimes seem a little complicated. The local authority will be able to visualise, on its web portal, what it produces throughout the year as a quantity of matter, by district, neighborhood, and optimise the distribution of these drop-off points across its territory and equally optimize the collections. And waste-to-energy plants can produce energy locally involving the population in this activity and having a traceability of the materials. The simple gesture of sorting can have a considerable impact on the environment and the climate. Everyone can reduce their waste, produce carbon-free energy, produce renewable fertilizers with a healthy and smart management of that waste that each territory can implement. Tomorrow starts today. We can all act in this direction. Thank you. (Applauses)
