French term or phrase: filière de destination (des déchets)
This is from a nuclear company's EHS manual/ checklist for managers, in the section on "standard waste:"

• Je tiens à jour la liste des déchets que génère mon activité avec les tonnages annuels, les filières de transport et les filières de destination.

Thanks!

multi-purpose waste management systems


Explanation:
Translation of the sentence:

"I keep up-to-date the list of the waste which my business generates with the annual tonnages and the multi-purpose waste management systems."

N.B. I honestly believe that "multi-purpose waste management systems" nicely includes both "les filières de transport et les filières de destination".

"channels" or "networks" instead of "systems" would be suitable alternatives. However, "waste management systems" are more commonly talke about, so I believe that it would be best to stick with systems personally.

neutral  Emma Paulay: I don't see how this covers the transport aspect. He has 3 columns on his list: Weight, mode of transport, means of disposal (which may include recycling although I'm not sure what comes under "standard waste".

  -> I thought that "multi-purpose" would have covered all bases here i.e. the waste needs to be weighed, transported and disposed of. To me, this is all part of "waste management" and to cover the different parts, I think that "multi-purpose" works nicely.
