Eau de Paris publishes its white paper "Objective: zero plastic bottles"

Over 800 plastic bottles already avoided thanks to an Action Tank

Eau de Paris is convinced that by changing our consumption habits and preserving our quality of life, we can put an end to throwaways and plastic pollution. The public company has been actively involved for more than two years in the fight against single-use plastic pollution.

The end of single-use plastic bottles often comes up against the lack of alternatives (at work, at school or even during cultural or sporting activities). Eau de Paris therefore launched a working group in May 2019 made up of around thirty public and private players, organized around six thematic committees. Their ambition: to identify alternative solutions to water bottles and to propose concrete solutions, by type of use and user, to promote the consumption of tap water.

About ten experiments have mobilized the partners to test the recommendations on a “life-size” basis, which can then be made permanent. Through the experiments carried out between 2019 and 2021, despite the health crisis, more than 800 plastic bottles have already been avoided.

A white paper to report on these experiments and allow their dissemination 

This published white paper is the result of this collective intelligence work. Organizations of all types can benefit from it: companies, local authorities, administrations, schools and universities, health establishments, etc. It brings together the lessons, experiments and conclusions of the work carried out within the framework of the working groups.
