The Observatoire Régional des Déchets d'île-de-France (ORDIF), or Ile-de-France Region Waste Management Observatory in English, is a French non-profit organization created on 23 November 1992 as a joint initiative between the government and the Ile-de-France region, with its regional focus deemed conducive to a global consideration of waste management. In order to adhere to objectives specified in the regulations, the management of household waste was to be reviewed in its entirety, with a particular focus on the Ile-de-France region.
