Challenge
Plastic pollution is an environmental scourge.
100,000 marine mammals and 1,000,000 seabirds die every year as a result of this major pollution. And the pollution is linked to an overproduction of plastic (it has doubled since 2000).
Worse still, plastic also constitutes a health risk, as it contains numerous chemical additives.
It is essential to act against this pollution at source.
Solution
The No Plastic Challenge supports all players in plastic reduction (schools, local authorities, companies and organizations, sports clubs, individuals).
Awareness-raising tools, waste collections, events, conferences and workshops are set up to:
1/ create awareness;
3/ maintain this change over time.
Recent result
During the wave of May-June 2023, 150 schools, 200 companies and 100 other organizations (associations, sports clubs, communes...) committed themselves.
A total of 75,000 people made aware and trainedin eco-gestures to reduce plastic.

The No Plastic In My Sea association aims to combat plastic pollution and its consequences on the marine ecosystem.
The No Plastic In My Sea association fights plastic pollution at source, right from the production and consumption phase. It supports all stakeholders in raising awareness of the environmental and health impacts of plastic and reducing their plastic footprint.
It acts in three ways:
- advocacy and influence, alerting people to the issues (social networks, press, participation in parliamentary reports, petitions...);
- mobilization (an annual event: The No Plastic Challenge all over France, over 200,000 people, 150 companies, 120 schools mobilized every year + millions of views on social networks, press spin-offs);
- sourcing alternative solutions such as reuse with our solutions benchmark: eco-innovation, reduction, reuse.

Our "Zero plastic bottles" project wins the Eau de Paris participative budget
Bye bye plastic bottles, so polluting (1st plastic waste in the environment!).
In order to spread the word about "Zero Plastic Bottle Solutions" to professional players and individuals of all ages, we're going to develop a website and an app for hydration on the move.
Join this project, which came first in the Eau de Paris participatory budget! Thanks to your support, we'll be able to make it even more impactful.

In France: recall the ambitious reduction and reuse targets to be met
At a meeting with Minister Christophe Béchu's cabinet, we and the associations FNE, Réseau Vrac et Réemploi, Surfrider Foundation and Zero Waste discussed:
- Our expectations in terms of Reduction and Reuse, as these first two R's in the waste treatment hierarchy are paramount to taking action against plastic pollution.
- The target of a 50% reduction in plastic bottles by 2030, on which it is urgent to act when a +4% increase has been recorded in 2022.
- The necessary support for packaging reuse and the follow-up to be given to the government's announcements on the deposit for reuse.
- The importance of Olympic Games without single-use plastic.

Already 18,000 signatories for the #GourdeChercheFontaine petition
Did you know that plastic bottles are the number one waste product found on beaches? But it's easy to do without! All you have to do is fill up your water bottle.
This is one of the priority ecogestures of the No Plastic Challenge.
And the good news is that, since the beginning of 2022, establishments open to the public have been obliged to provide water fountains for as few as 300 people.

BUT.... 18 months later, the fountains have not been installed (much).
We have launched a petition to ensure that these fountains are finally opened.

Online tool to measure your plastic footprintThe No Plastic Challenge continues from September to November!
After a very intense first wave, the No Plastic Challenge continues to mobilize all players (schools, companies, towns...) on a real "plastic sobriety".
We overproduce and overconsume plastic packaging, very often for single use. REDUCTION is essential if we are to curb the plastic pollution that is invading all ecosystems and having a growing impact on health. Did you know that? You ingest or inhale 5 grams of plastic a week, the equivalent of a bank card.
Supporting our project means acting at the source of plastic pollution!
