More and more! Waste production is constantly increasing: 650 million tonnes of waste were produced in France in 2002. This waste endangers our health and our soil, water, and air resources, and makes excessive use of the world’s raw materials and energy sources.

Reducing waste production and providing better waste treatment processes is essential. Everyone must get involved: public authorities, local bodies, citizens, and above all industry players... This is why Total is committed to reducing the amount of final waste generated by its activity and recycling as much inevitable waste as possible.
