BACKGROUND
In 2030, the world’s population will be around 9 billion.
The planet’s resources are not unlimited
and climate change is forcing us to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.
At the same time, the world produces
4 billion tons of waste each year.
If we do nothing, the oceans will swim
with more plastic than fish in 2050.

CHALLENGES
Reduce the
waste,
greenhouse gas
emissions and
other impacts of
our activities
Improve our environmental footprint:
Legislation
Access
to raw
materials
Total sees the circular economy as an opportunity
to improve our environmental footprint and our competitiveness,
while providing as many people as possible with access to cleaner energy.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
What if we repaired,
reused and recycled,
instead of throwing
things away?
That’s the
philosophy
of the circular
economy!
7. 7
WHAT IS THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY?
The circular economy breaks with
the traditional linear model (produce, use,
throw away), replacing it with a “loop”
that optimizes value creation throughout
the life cycle.
This new approach aims to curtail
environmental and social impacts
by limiting resource waste. One example
is recycling waste and end-of-life products
as sources of existing raw materials.
It is based on smart, responsible use
of materials and energy.

THE THREE ASPECTS OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Total’s sites and affiliates focus mainly on waste management
and sustainable procurement.

TOWARD NEW BUSINESSES
The shift to a more circular economy
could have advantages, notably
improving environmental impacts
(saving on resources and shrinking
footprints), creating a more secure
supply of raw materials and boosting
competitiveness and
innovation/differentiation.
Plus, in a circular economy things
once considered waste can be turned
into a valuable resource.

TOTAL’S CIRCULAR ECONOMY COMMITMENTS:
AFEP* AND U.N. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS 7, 8 AND 13**
In 2017, 33 companies including Total took action to integrate this process into
their activities.
Make the circular economy a criterion in the company’s
procurement process.
Limit waste production and promote waste recycling.
Consider energy efficiency, material efficiency and
product durability when purchasing our goods and
services.
Commit to recycling more than 50% of the company’s
waste.
Set up waste reduction and zero-waste-to-
landfill programs at company sites.
Produce new polymer ranges using recycled polymer.
Recycling one ton of polymer eliminates one ton of
carbon emissions.
Install 200 MW of power production capacity,
equivalent to the amount consumed by a city of
200,000. This also enables us to cut carbon
emissions by 100,000 tons a year.
This cuts down on the amount of oil and gas we use
and our greenhouse gas emissions.
Develop polymers containing as much as 50% recycled plastic.
Solarize 5,000 service stations worldwide, including 800 in
France (limit non-renewable energy consumption).
Improve the energy efficiency of operated production facilities
by an average of 1% a year between 2010 and 2020
(economizing non-renewable resources).

SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE USE
EXAMPLE: FRESHWATER
The nature of our activities makes them likely to both impact and depend on
water resources.
Depending on risk type and impacts, we may
introduce a plan in the future to optimize water use
at priority sites.
Identification of priority sensitive sites for
water use.
1
Since 2016, we have assessed the water risk at 17
priority Total sites (11 in Refining & Chemicals, four in
Exploration & Production and two in Gas,
Renewables & Power).
Comprehensive management of water
risks and impacts in our environmental
management system.
2
Principles:
Monitoring and integration of changes in
how water is managed, especially as
they relate to climate change, through
our stakeholders, partnerships and R&D.
3
This assessment process will gradually be extended
to all priority sites (another eight have been added to
the list).

WASTE MANAGEMENT:
BASIC STEPS
Archive the forms,
logs, declarations,
invoices and
authorizations of the
service providers who
dispose of/treat the
waste, along with the
treatment certificates.
Identify
Examples of best practice requirements
Sort and
store
Trace
Collect and
transport
Treat
• Sort (do not mix
different types of
waste).
• Proper storage
(1 type of waste
= 1 container).
Waste
(category,
amount).
• Arrange for controlled
collection, sorting and
temporary storage on
site.
• Plan the movement of
waste at the site.
• Recycle or dispose of waste.
• Make sure that the waste is sent
to the appropriate place based on
type and characteristics. Choose
processes suited to the waste
and audit them.
• Schedule an annual inspection
at the site.
• If no local waste treatment
option is acceptable, the waste
will have to be exported to
another country, in compliance
with its specific regulations and
the Basel and Bamako
Conventions.
Collect, sort,
store and ship
waste.
Get a transportation
permit (for transporters).
• From production to
recycling or disposal.
• Ensure that the waste’s
movements can be
traced on and off the
site.
