Key takeaways
- Every waste producer must keep a chronological registry of its waste.
- Declarations to the national registry are made in Trackdéchets since May 5, 2025.
- Electronic slips in Trackdéchets count as registry declarations for the waste they cover.
- Decree no. 2026-433 of June 2, 2026 extended the transmission deadline from 7 days to one month.
- Operators who transmit to the national registry no longer need to keep a separate registry for that data, but must be able to present it.
Two layers: your registry and the national registry
The chronological registry (registre chronologique) records each waste leaving or entering your site. The national registry is the central database fed by the operators subject to it, now inside Trackdéchets.
Who declares to the national registry
- Treatment, sorting and transit facilities.
- Collectors and transporters.
- Brokers and traders.
- Producers of hazardous waste through their electronic slips.
- Operators handling excavated soil and sediments.
