Economical toilet paper without drain clogging
The issue of campsites and, more broadly, the management of high-traffic washrooms and toilet blockages is a concern. The Lucart Aquastream range provides a solution to this problem with fast-dissolving toilet paper and hand towels.
Campsites and PRLs are governed by regulations, standards, laws, etc.
The authorization to operate a campsite requires the installation and maintenance of equipment, which requires compliance with a few rules.
1 - The sites must be equipped with facilities for the collection and disposal of household waste. With the provision of airtight bins of sufficient capacity.
2 - The sanitary equipment made available to customers must be kept in a constant state of good working order and cleanliness.
Selective sorting in your campsite:
• Law of 15/07/1975: first law organizing the collection and treatment of waste in France. Waste collection, transport and treatment operations must be carried out under clean conditions in order to avoid “any risk to the environment and to human health”. This law establishes the founding principle of “polluter pays”.
• Law of 13/07/1992: also known as the Royal Law. It aims to strengthen the provisions of the 1975 law and requires companies to recycle their waste. From 1992 onwards, waste represents a source of energy and raw materials that we no longer have the right to waste or destroy.
• Law of 12/07/2010 makes it mandatory for large producers to implement sorting and collect biowaste and edible oil waste (threshold for application of the Decree in 2016: 10 tonnes per year of biowaste, 60L of edible oil).
• Article L 541-2 of the Environmental Code: each company is responsible for the management of the waste it produces even when it is transferred to a third party for treatment. The company must ensure that its disposal complies with the regulations.
• Decree No. 2016-288 of 03/10/2016: obligation for companies to better sort their paper, metal, plastic, glass and wood waste in order to promote their reuse and recycling. They must separate these materials from the rest of their waste, either by establishing sorting at source or by subsequent sorting in an automated center.
Accessibility for people with reduced mobility
- Order of August 1, 2006 - All establishments open to the public and facilities open to the public must be accessible to PRM (People with Reduced Mobility) since January 1, 2015.
- Order of January 15, 2007
The equipment and street furniture present on the pedestrian path are within a minimum volume to be detected in order to ensure the safety of blind and visually impaired people.
- Ad'AP device
Given the work that remains to be done, a system called Ad'AP (Programmed Accessibility Agendas) has been put in place to grant a deferral to public establishments and facilities that do not meet the January 1, 2015 deadline. This application must be accepted and validated by the prefecture. After validation, these establishments will commit to respecting the new deadline, which could be extended from 1 to 6 years, under penalty of financial penalties. If no Ad'AP application is made, public establishments that are not accessible to people with disabilities as of January 1, 2015, will be subject to criminal penalties.
Decree 2006-1386 of November 15, 2006, relating to the fight against smoking in places of collective use
- Since February 1, 2007, the smoking ban has been generalized to enclosed and covered places which are open to the public or constitute workplaces: businesses, administrations, schools, health establishments.
- Since January 1, 2008, this ban has extended to so-called "convivial" places: cafes, hotels, restaurants, tobacco bars, casinos and nightclubs.
Fine: €68 for the offending smoker (then €180 after 45 days), and €135 for the offending person in charge of the premises (€375 after 45 days).
