In this episode of the Reloop Brief, we visit France as Shraddha Kumar checks in with Reloop’s Director for France and Francophonie, Alexis Eisenberg.
Together, they cover why a national deposit return system is still pending, how a major pilot is rolling out across four regions and what Reloop’s Tour de France de la consigne revealed about the future of reuse and recycling.
Plus, how the EU’s new packaging rules (PPWR) fit with France’s own targets and whether a mixed DRS could be the way forward.
