The summit on plastic pollution has been held since the beginning of the week in Paris. Retail packaging represents 40% of plastic production. Some are looking for a way to reduce them, or even do without them.

Plastic, more plastic. This is the main packaging for hygiene products, a quantity of waste that Amandine did not like Girly. When this mother from Lyon saw a new bulk machine for creams, she immediately adopted it. She comes with her own bottles that she reuses. The cosmetics brand will install around thirty fountains like this one, by the end of the year, it has invented this system to guarantee hygiene.

Bottles recorded, recovered, washed, reused

The company is also working on the manufacture of solid shampoos to eliminate disposable plastic bottles. The company even made an even more radical decision for one of its flagship products: the wipes. It intends to completely stop producing it within four years.

In another company, everything was designed from the start to do without plastic. Instead, glass bottles for laundry detergent and household products. Returnable bottles, recovered every day from customers, washed and reused around sixty times. Customers, individuals and companies, are delivered directly, mainly by bicycle. The young household products company has already avoided the production of 400,000 plastic containers.
