In this context, this paper studied of environmental-economic benefits of French waste management industry, in order to find answer.First, this study analyzed the evolution of the French waste disposal industry and its sub-structure of the industry chain. On this basis, we used cost-benefit assessment method, through a lot of historical data to estimate waste management industry's outputs and costs, in order to assess the economic benefits of the industry. Then, with the help of life-cycle theory, we got the environmental benefits of the industry by 3 step analysis (defining, inventory and assessment). Finally, we summed up the total environmental-economic benefits of the French waste management industry,and confirmed by analysis, the effect and contribution of reconstruction of the waste management industry. And then, from the successful experience of the France, combine the actual situation in our country, put forward to enhance the circular economy and to accelerate the transformation of China waste management industry.
