Order laying down the criteria for removing the waste status of pyrolysis oil from the pyrolysis of plastic waste with a view to material recovery in a petrochemical plant covered by Directive 2010/75/EU of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions, for use within a steam cracking unit or for use within a purification unit to be used as a steam cracking unit.

8. Directive 2008/98/EC on waste introduced the possibility for substances or objects that have the status of waste to cease to be waste when they have undergone a recovery operation and meet specific criteria.
In this context, the draft decree lays down the criteria for removing the waste status for pyrolysis oil from plastic waste pyrolysis. The pyrolysis oil concerned is intended for material use within a steam cracking unit or for a material use within a purification unit and for subsequent use in a steam cracking unit. These units are defined as belonging to a petrochemical unit covered by Directive 2010/75/EU of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions.
9. The purpose of this draft order is to eliminate the waste status of pyrolysis oil from the pyrolysis of plastic waste which:
– complies with the criteria laid down by the order. These relate to the composition of the plastic waste accepted in the pyrolysis operation and the quality of the pyrolysis oil produced;
– complies with the technical specifications specific to each petrochemical installation used. These specifications shall be defined on the basis of prior testing;
– is the subject of a transfer contract with the petrochemical installation that uses it;
The pyrolysis oil lots must then be identified by a unique number and the pyrolysis plant reference, in order to ensure traceability. The operator must also implement a quality management system covering the various management operations for this waste.
All of these criteria have been defined in accordance with Article D541-12-11 of the Environmental Code transposing Article 6 of Directive 2008/98/EC. The criteria for removing the status of waste therefore include:
“a) authorised waste used as input for the recovery operation;
b) authorised processing processes and techniques;
c) the quality criteria applicable to the materials resulting from the recovery operation which cease to be waste, in accordance with the relevant product standards, including, if necessary, limit values for pollutants;
d) requirements for management systems to demonstrate compliance with the criteria for the removal of waste status, in particular in terms of quality control and self-monitoring, and accreditation, where appropriate; and
e) the requirement of a declaration of conformity;”
