To fight against waste, Clément Méry has created the principle of the Willy anti-waste site, which is quite simple. “We buy products that would have ended up in the trash!he points out.

We store them in a warehouse in Saint-Ouen, in Seine-Saint-Denis, and resell them everywhere in France. What we buy are products that have short dates. The retail system is very rigid. And that’s why we can sell them: there is no health risk in consuming them”specifies Clément Méry.

The products are purchased on the e-commerce site and sent by post or to a relay point, throughout France, mainly in the countryside or in small towns. A very profitable operation for consumers. The start-up launched a year ago. More and more brands are asking for it. It is only at the beginning of its growth.
