INDUSTRY

Operators of industrial odoring sites face increasing challenges in running their facilities smoothly due to various pressures.

These pressures could come neighboring residents organized in collectives or associations, as well as isolated residents, leading to tensions that result in numerous complaints. These complaints, citing numerous national and European laws, compel authorities to take action.

We are witnessing an acceleration of these rejection phenomena with the advent of social networks, where nuisances, reactions, and invectives are relayed in real-time.

Very quickly, the lives of elected officials and operators can turn into a nightmare.

CONSEQUENCES OF ODOURS FOR OPERATORS?

Operating a foul-smelling site is never easy. The company's brand image can be at least somewhat tarnished locally; for example, a malodorous slaughterhouse or a food processing plant whose treatment plant emits a pestilential odor.

In the era of CSR initiatives and general awareness of environmental issues, it is wise to take proactive measures to limit legal risks and overflows.

This is crucial for the very sustainability of the company and its ability to expand its activities.

Court decisions limiting or prohibiting the operation of industrial sites have increased in recent years.

A company that optimally manages the impact of its activities on its environment is one that gains the trust of local residents, elected officials, authorities, and even today's investors, who are reluctant to invest in so-called "dirty" activities.

WHY DO ODORS DISTURB?

Of course, unpleasant odors can lead to health issues (anxiety, depression, psychological distress) and social problems (isolation), even though olfactory pollution may sometimes be non-toxicologically harmless.
