Hear ye, hear ye, brave Bordeaux locals! You care about the planet, you love hydrating and enjoying tasty drinks, but you hate lugging those heavy bottles from the supermarket? Then get ready for a trip to the future of shopping with Le Fourgon, your new everyday superhero! And we tested it for you!
Le Fourgon: End plastic waste in one click!
Le Fourgon is the fun, stylish answer to that dizzying number: 36 million plastic bottles bought every day in France. Result? A pile of waste that makes Mother Nature cringe and a horde of consumers fed up with single-use packaging.
No panic: Le Fourgon comes to the rescue by giving the deposit system a new life. After conquering Lille and Toulouse, Le Fourgon rolls into Bordeaux with a clear mission: deliver more than 300 mostly local drink references straight to your door, in returnable bottles. And all in an electric van, because cool also means taking care of our planet!
Deposit: the clever trick to drink and respect the planet
The bottle deposit isn't new: it was the norm 40 years ago. It was simply set aside when disposable plastic came in. Today, Le Fourgon brings the practice back into fashion. The principle is simple: returnable bottles are collected, washed, reconditioned and refilled by the producers. Result: 75% energy, 79% CO2 and 33% water saved for every reused bottle. Not bad, right?
Ordering your drinks effortlessly is possible!
Le Fourgon is also a smooth, fast customer experience. Just order via the website or the iOS/Android app. Beers, wines, juices, sodas, milks, and even returnable laundry detergent: you're spoiled for choice among more than 300 references. Products are delivered free at your chosen time in returnable crates and bottles. On their next visit, drivers drop off your new order and pick up your empties, crediting your account with the collected deposits.
Local under the hood, a committed team and a bold target
With already 22,000 customers won over and more than 450,000 bottles reused last month, Le Fourgon shows the concept works. In Bordeaux, the three-person team hopes to grow to around fifteen by the end of the year.
On top of being respectful
of the environment, Le Fourgon also has a strong social commitment. All drivers are on permanent contracts and work in conditions that respect their well-being. Deliveries run 6 days a week, 9am-9pm, and if you order before 5pm you can even get your delivery the same day.
In its push to reduce environmental impact, Le Fourgon favors local. Many regional producers are partners: Brasserie de la Seillonne, Brasserie Vieilledent, Brasserie La Braxéenne, Maison Ventenac wines, Wine Impact, Domaine Rière Cadène, Domaine Gayrard, La Bonne Énergie juices and various sodas.
Target: zero waste, 100% pleasure
Le Fourgon's ambition is clear: reuse 200,000 bottles a month in Bordeaux within a year. A bold but doable target, especially given that 20 billion bottles are sold every year in France.
So Bordeaux, what are you waiting for to fill up on fun, flavors and environmental respect with Le Fourgon? Time to change our habits, and it's now easier and more pleasant than ever!
