Syctom is a French local public authority and a leading European operator in domestic waste management. It processes 2,3 million tonnes of domestic and related waste from around six million inhabitants of the Île-de-France region, including Paris, i.e. almost 9% of the French population. 

Syctom strongly welcomes the New Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) published by the European Commission.

In its position paper, Syctom highlights some elements in order to contribute to future discussions about the development of the new CEAP, in particular:

• strengthening and extending ecodesign,
• waste reduction,
• stimulating the market for secondary raw materials,
• waste-to-energy as a sustainable environmental activity and
• strengthening education to promote prevention.
