As the Salon des Maires gets underway, the Revue des Collectivités locales looks at the consequences of changes to the status of excavated soil and sediments. Here’s an excerpt from Danièle Licata’s article in the Revue des Collectivités, dated November 13, 2019, which relays Uned’s strong concern. Indeed, the French Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition plans to use regulations to remove excavated soil – whether polluted or inert – from its waste status. To facilitate their re-use.

Laurent Mogno, Chairman of the ECT Group, talks to Catherine Bernard of the Journal du Grand Paris. This exchange gives Laurent Mogno the opportunity to go back over the definition of “inert soil”. And on the notion of “land reclamation”. He reminds us that the reuse of excavated soil is an opportunity for regional development and biodiversity. So it’s soil from the “Trou des Halles de Paris” that forms the contours of the Parc de la Courneuve. The park is now classified as a Natura 2000 site. In this interview, Laurent Mogno explains how ECT manages soil from the Grand

ECT is structuring and accelerating its development as a major player in green, leisure, sports and agricultural development.

“Fabricated Hills earth movement around Paris In its sixth issue, the international magazine “Accattone” devotes a dozen pages to ECT and its model for recycling excavated soil. Author Galaad Van Daele came to meet us in June 2019. And in this article, of great aesthetic quality, he relates his view of 2 ECT sites.  Firstly, his visit to the Parc de l’Arboretum, in Moissy-Cramayel (77), shaped by ECT from inert soil from Ile de France building sites. Then, his discovery of our biological treatment center for hydrocarbon-impacted soil in La Courneuve (93), the first of its kind to be entirely

Reforming the status of excavated soil Laurent Mogno, President of ECT, analyzes the current regulatory context for excavated soil and changes in its status. 5 questions for “In practice, everything you need to know about”. WHAT IS THE CURRENT REGULATORY CONTEXT REGARDING THE STATUS OF EXCAVATED SOIL? Excavated soil from the construction industry accounts for 40% of the volume of waste produced in France. Today, as soon as they leave their excavation site, they are legally considered as waste. The terminology and status of waste are poorly understood, and even cause anxiety among the general public, despite the fact that

It was with great emotion and sadness that all ECT employees learned of the sudden death of Gilles Chauffour, Mayor of Villeneuve-sous-Dammartin. Very attached to his commune and its economic and environmental development, Mr Chauffour welcomed ECT to Villeneuve sous-Dammartin. He has always been very supportive of our projects and actions. As evidenced by this comment left by him not long ago at ECT’s Google Maps address. “Magnificent head office. Château Napoléon III. Environmentally aware company. Beautiful Land Art project “les yeux du Ciel” underway on the Villeneuve-sous-Dammartin site. In place for the 2024 Olympics.” In these sad circumstances, the

On  June 22, 2019, Line Magne, mayor of Moissy-Cramayel and Laurent Mogno, president of ECT  inaugurated the new Arboretum park. Local residents and sports associations welcomed the creation of the new park. And let’s not forget the associations of disabled people who took part in drawing up the PMR specifications, and who were discovering how they would be implemented. This new park is the result of the reunification of 2 mounds of inert soil. It offers Moissé residents a new planted promenade, a landscaped, friendly space. The event was covered by various newspapers: “Moissy-Cramayel: le parc de l’Arboretum a poussé
