France Consigne helps structure the glass packaging reuse sector in France by promoting the standardization of professional practices, the interoperability of the sector, and greater circularity in packaging. It brings together industrial reuse operators around a quality-focused approach aimed at developing a robust sector and ensuring a broad impact.
It is in this spirit that Léko and France Consigne have been collaborating for the past three years under an agreement designed to accelerate the growth of packaging reuse. This partnership combines the expertise of France Consigne’s member operators with Léko’s financial support to assist producers in their transition to reuse and to strengthen the human and material resources needed to develop the sector.
Support for producers and reuse operators
Through this agreement, Léko provides financial support to producers who wish to implement a program to reuse their packaging, working with a reuse operator that is a member of France Consigne. This initiative aims to facilitate the transition to reuse and thereby increase the volumes processed by the sector.
Since the agreement was launched, the support provided has been divided between initiatives with a national scope and others that are more locally focused.
Expand waste collection infrastructure
The agreement also provides funding to support the development of collection capacity among France Consigne’s member reuse operators. This support may include funding for personnel time dedicated to the deployment and operation of collection systems, as well as the purchase of specialized equipment, such as collection bins.
This funding helps strengthen the regional network of collection points, facilitate the return of packaging, and improve the organization of reuse operations. It provides operators with the human and material resources needed to expand their activities and accommodate the increase in the volume of packaging collected.
Through this agreement, Léko and France Consigne are combining their expertise to accelerate the expansion of reuse and help scale up the industry.
How can I take advantage of the agreement?
To take advantage of this, here are the steps to follow:
- Contact your reuse operator—a member of France Consigne —to discuss your initiative and the support options available. Your operator will serve as the liaison with Léko’s reuse team.
- Join Léko, if you haven't already. Membership is a requirement to take advantage of this program.
- Get in touch with Léko’s reuse team: they will contact you to explain the terms of the agreement and assist you as you transition to reuse.
