Through bulk distribution and reusable containers, there will be no waste at any point of sale.
In France, each home makes 568 kg of trash every year. Also, 150 kg of food waste per person per year is too much. (ADEME, 2018). Also, every year, millions of glass bottles that have only been used once are thrown away. Liquids Bulk Expert solves these problems by reusing glass bottles so they don’t end up in the trash. The goal of The Solution is to build a distribution and consumption system with no waste. It gives grocery stores self-service dispensers, organic liquid products, and bottles that can be used again and again and can be returned. The customer buys a bottle at the store and can fill it with different products as many times as he or she wants (wine, oil, vinegar, spirits, dish liquid, soap, shampoo, etc.). If he or she wants to, he or she can sell it back to the store. Liquids Bulk Expert will pick it up, wash it, and put it back on store shelves. This is a circular business model based on the functional economy (selling the use of the bottle instead of the bottle itself), on waste prevention (reusing bottles), and on promoting sustainable consumption (be aware of the environmental-impact of your consumption). The Solution is in more than 1000 stores with self-dispensing machines to give consumers in France and Europe zero-waste organic liquid products.
