ECT puts its expertise to good use for its construction and public work clients
As a major player in the recovery of excavated soil from the construction industry, ECT offers to support its clients, earth workers, transporters and project managers in complying with the new traceability obligations. Particularly in terms of establishing and filling in their digital and chronological registers.
This support takes the form of webinars, methodological brochures and the dematerialisation of exchanges with clients.
Strengthening the traceability of excavated soil
The anti-waste and circular economy law (AGEC) of February 2020 reinforces the traceability of waste and by extension, excavated soil.
Their goal? To improve knowledge of these deposits so that they can be taken into account in the circular economy. Preventing environmental harm also means being accountable for every player involved in this process – including producers, holders, transporters, and disposal sites – which ultimately impacts the whole chain of responsibility.
Practically, what has changed for excavated soil?
- Modification of the contracts between the producer and the waste manager
- Modification of pre-acceptance requests (DAP)
- Obligation for all companies in the sector (transporters included) to maintain a chronological register.
- Creation of a National Register of excavated soil and sediments. All excavations, recovery or disposal must be tracked and recorded in a digital national register by producers and disposal sites.
- Facilitation of the removal of waste status (SSD) for all waste. It is important to note that for excavated soil and sediments, monitoring by an accredited third party is required.
Traceability and record keeping
NATIONAL REGISTER OF EXCAVATED SOIL AND SEDIMENTS
The data from these registers must be used to populate the « national register of excavated soil and sediments ».
Its implementation will be mandatory from 1 January 2023 with retroactive data from 1 January 2022.
CHRONOLOGICAL REGISTER
Effective January 1, 2022, all companies involved must maintain a chronological register.
ECT has had its chronological register for several years. The Extranet customer area provides customers with all time-stamped information regarding the receipt of their excavated soil on our sites: DAP, certificate with unloading dates, detailed report etc.
