MY VALOBAT
Vous êtes un distributeur de Produits et Matériaux de Construction du Bâtiment ?
Valobat is at your side
As a meeting point for construction professionals, the distribution sales sites play an important role in the recovery of waste from construction sites.
Specific take-back systems for distributors
Obligation to take back
- Retail outlets with a PMCB sales area of more than 4,000 m²must offer a free 1:0 take-back of sorted customer waste.
- Possibility of limiting waste to products on the sales plan.
- Collection of waste from professionals and/or individuals
- Collection of PMCB streams separately or in joint collection at no cost to the holder
- Possibility of being part of the network of eco-organizations if the 6 flows of the 7-flow decree are included
Principles of the standard contract
For distributors, Valobat offers different configurations including two levels of sorting:
- CASE 1 - Source separation of inert materials, metals, wood, plastics, plaster, glass joinery
- CASE 2: joint collection** (combining metals, wood and plastics in the same container), and source separation of inerts, plaster and woodwork
* for specialist retailers, only the waste from the 6-stream PMCB sorting shown in the sales plan is mandatory for collection
** joint collection as part of the phased approach will be offered from 2024 onwards
OPTIONAL FLOWS
- Mineral wools, a CSR stream (including PVC flooring, bituminous membranes and EPS) and PMCB hazardous waste.
Valobat's offer is adapted to constrained surfaces of less than 100m2 as well as to sites with sufficient surfaces to mobilize up to 700m2.
Valobat offers containers of various capacities (from big bags to ground storage bins) to adapt to source separation and to take into account the problems of ground space.
The distributors concerned by the obligation of collection but whose infrastructures would not allow the installation of the waste activity under good conditions (in particular of safety), will have to be able to opt for a deported or mutualized solution near the store.
The distributor take-back points will have to fit into the chosen sorting configurations and justify :
- Compliance with regulations, particularly in terms of regulations related to classified facilities for environmental protection (ICPE).
- A methodology to ensure the traceability of incoming flows, in compliance with the provisions introduced by Decree No. 2020-1817 of December 29, 2020 and the future decree on the information of the deposit slips of waste generated by construction, renovation, demolition of buildings and gardening works
- Operating rules for the collection point (internal regulations) to be established by the distributor: collection of waste from professionals and/or individuals, opening hours that may be different from those of the sales point, limiting the size of vehicles, making appointments for large quantities, etc.

The distributor support scale
Collection and processing of the mixed waste stream
In order to guarantee the quality of the flows sorted at the source and collected separately on site and to propose an outlet for the badly sorted or mixed waste, Valobat will organize temporarily in margin of its approval and for all the distributors who wish it, the collection and the treatment of the flow of waste in mixture.
This service will be billed to the distributor, who will pass on the cost to its customers, with the free take-back applying only to sorted PMCB streams.
Valobat will then allow professionals using the distribution points to deposit the inevitable residual fraction of small non-recyclable waste, even after a thorough sorting, in order to limit the risk of illegal deposits.
Organized in paying bags or via a measurement of the volumes deposited on site (hopper), this collection would make it possible to limit the quantities concerned to the "bottom of the van" (small soiled waste, fragmented and mixed materials, etc.) as well as to limit the size of the waste taken in charge and to have a simple invoicing system for the holder.
Calls for projects conducted by Valobat
Valobat will organize calls for projects for the creation of the first sites or exemplary sites, with investment grants based on optimized developments for each sorting scheme. These calls for projects will allow in particular:
- Accelerate the deployment of take-back sites at the point of sale of PMCB materials,
- Targeting the geographic areas that are lagging the most in terms of coverage objectives.
A maximum number of sites per retailer can be defined.
Finally, depending on the concerted decisions that will be taken on the regional network, Valobat will evaluate the place that could possibly be held in the network by shared recovery sites between several distributors, in order to avoid redundancies between sites that are sometimes a few hundred meters apart.
