Created to raise awareness of plastic pollution, the International Plastic Bag Free Day takes place every year on July 3. This date aims to promote sustainable alternatives to single-use bags, which account for a significant portion of unrecycled waste worldwide.
Beyond its symbolic value, this day is a reminder of the urgency of adopting simple everyday habits to reduce our environmental impact. Reusing, sorting, saying no to disposable items—these reflexes can help transform our consumption habits in the long term.
At Chabé, this day was the perfect opportunity to launch a concrete and collective action. The idea? Give a second life to unused tote bags—often forgotten at the back of a closet—by making them available in common areas.
In Nanterre, a collection box was set up to invite every team member to participate. Within a few days, several dozen bags were gathered, ready to be reused for lunch breaks, shopping or everyday errands, without the need for single-use plastic or paper bags.
This initiative is part of a broader Group effort: to reduce our environmental footprint through simple, shared and replicable actions.
By making better use of existing resources, encouraging reuse and engaging our teams, we aim to turn environmental responsibility into a concrete reality, both within our offices and across all our activities.
