E.g. : pesticides, insecticides and motor vehicle products. Although we are conscious that these products are in common use, we do not promote them. If you believe that your product fits in this category, but you wish to submit your initiative, please contact us so that we can submit your application to a committee.

2) Just apply and we'll take care of the rest.

The Circuit Zéro Déchet is committed to managing and promoting the website.

Our registration form has been specifically designed to ensure that the information submitted is to its full potential. If during the subscription process, some information needs to be changed, please contact us and we will edit it for you.
