The French anti-waste law for a circular economy was launched in late 2017—resulting from broad political consensus throughout parliament. In its development, broad consultations took place with stakeholders ranging from local authorities to businesses to NGOs. The law establishes fifty measures that can be ascribed to the following three categories: obligations for producers to include new products groups in the circular economy, further prohibitions on single-use items, unnecessary food waste and unsold non-food items, new tools to control and punish environmental offenses as well as tools to support corporations in eco-design and assist citizens in changing consumption behaviours. The law sets out bold ambitions—such as achieving zero disposable plastic by 2020—and outlines measures for how to meet such goals.
