Guide AMO Déchets BTP

Launching and running a construction-waste client-side assistance (AMO) engagement: the 2026 regulatory framework, engagement method, deliverables and pricing.

There is a service many project owners buy without knowing its name: client-side assistance (AMO) for construction and demolition waste. It means taking charge, on behalf of whoever builds, demolishes or renovates, of the waste side of an operation: anticipating waste streams, writing the specifications, checking that the contractor actually sorts, collecting the evidence, and producing a final recovery report that holds up under inspection. The service exists because French regulation has piled up over five years without ever simplifying: an ordinary renovation site is simultaneously subject to the “7-stream” sorting rule from decree no. 2021-950, the mandatory waste statements on quotes from decree no. 2020-1817, the chronological register set by the order of 31 May 2021, the extended producer responsibility scheme for building construction products and materials, and — above certain thresholds — the PEMD diagnosis. From 1 September 2026 it is also subject to Trackdéchets with no tonnage threshold at all for hazardous waste. The e-book covers the regulatory framework applicable in 2026, the engagement method in order, the expected deliverables and pricing. Audience: construction professionals, environmental engineers and consultants who want to specialise in waste AMO. Delivered as PDF, EPUB, Markdown and HTML, updated as of 31/07/2026. The e-book is written in French (it deals with French regulation).
