  • Tour of an industrial washing centre
  • Visit to a reuse operator

Looking Back at the Learning Expedition 2024

Wednesday, May 15, following and complementing the Salon du Vrac et du Réemploi, 15 international players in the reuse sector gathered to meet Parisian stakeholders in the field.

During the morning, they had the opportunity to:

☕️ Grab a coffee at Starbucks in a reusable container ➡️ a chance to focus on Article 42 of the AGEC law, which allows consumers to get a discount on their beverage as long as the container is clean and suitable for the drink purchased.

🚿 Visit the Aquarys washing center

👁️ Discover a corner of Loop-branded deposit-return products, available in 150 Carrefour stores

🍽️ Test the NoWW smart collector, installed at Ekimetrics ➡️ this collector helps employees reduce their daily waste

🧴 See a demonstration of pharmacy refill furniture in action

A successful first edition, full of valuable exchanges and sharing between multiple nationalities, all united around the same goal: growing the reuse sector 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇳🇱 🇪🇸
