Le Fourgon was created to deliver groceries and drinks in reusable packaging to individuals and professionals, promoting the deposit system and reducing plastic waste in France. This solution is supported by an easy-to-use website and app that offer mixed-product delivery and flexible hours for customers.
Forty years ago, the deposit system was still mandatory in France, especially for milk deliverers and brewers. However, with the rise of mass distribution, the market shifted towards single-use packaging, particularly plastic bottles. Over time, returnable bottle washers disappeared in France, making way for a new market that now accounts for more than 19 billion bottles per year. In this context, Le Fourgon’s deposit system was created to promote reusable packaging, including delivery, and to eliminate single-use packaging.
Thanks to our online delivery service and our 18 warehouses across France, Le Fourgon has already attracted more than 50,000 customers and reused over 20 million packages. Today, we reuse more than 1 million packages per month with a return rate of 98%.
