This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
The Martinique Territorial Authority and the ADEME ( Agency for the Environment and Energy Management) are the lead partners enforcing the Programme Territorial de Maitrise des Déchets (PTMD) for the 2016-2020 period. It aims to develop circular economy and waste management in Martinique. The circular economy is emerging in Martinique. It is still too little known to the general public, local institutions and the businesses limiting their collaboration which is necessary for its development. The PTMD accompagnies the deployment of the industry of pre-treatment and value creation from waste. Calls for projects are regularly launched for the companies, ngo's and local stakeholders willing to engage themselves into circular economy management of their activity or developing new products.
Resources needed
The Martinique Territorial Authority dedicates 16 620 000 M€ of its own funds for the 2016/2020 PTMD period. 39M€ under the 2014/2020 ERDF program are dedicated for projects dealing with prevention, treatment and valorization of waste. A team of 5 people (CTM and ADEME combined) manage the program.
Evidence of success
In 2017, the PTMD provided 1,2 million euros in grants helping 26 projects. Among these projects the "Patronage Saint-Louis" association conducted building workshops for the integration of 30 long term unemployed people focusing on woodworking and recycling. The project helped to reduce the waste of furnitures and the end of their life cycle and to develop new products made from recycled wood. The target public also acquired new qualifications improving their employment capabilities.
Potential for learning or transfer
Martinique is by its geography and history, a territory very strongly dependent on external resources. It makes her a special area conducive to the development of a circular economy approach, both in the primary sector, secondary and tertiary. The results of the PTMD could serve as reference materials to guide the write of other strategic planning documents aiming to develop circular economy in the European OuterMost Régions facing the same challenges.
