The AGEC Law in a few words
Since January 1, 2022, the AGEC law (Anti-waste law for a circular economy) prohibits companies from destroying their non-food unsold goods without having tried to resell, donate or recycle them.
In addition to banning the destruction of non-food waste, the AGEC law aims to drastically reduce waste, plastic consumption and CO₂ emissions.
The AGEC law facilitates the fight against precariousness and actively participates in the social and solidarity economy.
