A single, comprehensive plan covering the entire region
The NOTRe Act granted the Territorial Collectivity of Martinique planning authority over waste management. This presents an opportunity to establish a comprehensive strategic framework for waste management in Martinique.
The Martinique Waste Prevention and Management Plan (PPGDM) aims to coordinate all actions undertaken by local governments and private organizations to implement European, national, and local objectives regarding waste reduction at the source and to create value in waste management through material recovery (recycling) or energy recovery from waste.
Beyond implementing regulatory and national objectives or identifying existing initiatives, the CTM has chosen to seize this opportunity to develop a comprehensive strategy that sets out ambitious goals and guiding principles to drive the local transition toward a circular economy—one that creates jobs and added value while conserving resources in the region.
A consultative process
With this in mind, the CTM has decided to develop the Plan in collaboration with waste management stakeholders in Martinique as part of a consultative process through:
A regulatory body: The Advisory Committee for the Development and Monitoring of the Plan (CCES)
In accordance with Article R541-21 of the Environmental Code, this commission is established by the CTM. Its composition was designed to be as comprehensive as possible in order to be as representative as possible of the region’s stakeholders. Thus, it is composed of representatives from local authorities responsible for waste management, professional organizations (FNADE, CCI, CMA, CA, etc.), government agencies, environmental protection associations, eco-organizations, associations working on waste-related issues, consumer associations, and others.
The first organizational meeting was held on July 6, 2018
Organizing thematic consultation workshops
These workshops took place on 18, 19 and 20 April 2018 and focused on:
– Treatment of residual waste
– Material recovery of non-hazardous and non-inert waste
– Waste prevention
– Hazardous Waste Management
– Organic recycling of non-hazardous and non-inert waste
– Management of inert waste.
118 stakeholders—including professionals, organizations, institutions, and public entities—took part.
These workshops provided an opportunity to share the assessment, address key issues for the region, and discuss the Plan’s objectives together.
Regularly keeping the public informed by posting updates on the progress of the PPGDM online
The goal is to finalize a first draft of the Plan by the third quarter of 2018 and, following administrative consultation and a public hearing, to have it definitively adopted in 2019.
