Since 2023, we’ve gone beyond recycling soaps by collecting unsold hygiene products from brands before they are wasted.
Every day, 4 tons of cosmetic products are thrown away in France. And the reasons are countless: end-of-line products, manufacturing defects, unsold stock, discontinued ranges, packaging issues…
In short, there’s no good reason for these products to be discarded. That’s why we recover them.
Here too, the process happens in three simple steps:
For various commercial reasons, brands often end up with hygiene products that cannot be sold. We recover these unused items and redistribute them to those who need them.
We accept a wide range of products: toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoos, laundry detergent, diapers…
This approach helps companies comply with the AGEC law (Anti-Waste for a Circular Economy) and fits perfectly within their CSR initiatives. By getting involved, everyone wins.
All logistics are handled every step of the way at an inclusive workshop: Les Ateliers Denis-Cordonnier, located near Lyon. From storage to sorting, packaging, and assembling hygiene kits, every step is fully adapted to workers with disabilities.
Every day, we help them develop new skills and give them the opportunity to contribute to a common project that is meaningful and fulfilling.
In France, 3 million people cannot afford basic hygiene products. Every day, we do our best to reduce this number! Depending on the needs, we distribute our products either in hygiene kits or in bulk.
We work hand in hand with partner charities across France, such as Les Restos du Cœur. Their network and countless volunteers allow us to have a national impact. A huge thank you to everyone on the ground, day after day.
When we take part in distributions ourselves, we witness the real impact of our work and the joy it brings to those in need.
These moments warm our hearts and inspire us above all!
