Observation:
E-commerce has shaken up consumer habits and its share of total retail sales is only increasing:
1.7 billion packages are sent in France every year. Their lifespan is on average 3 days, they generate 300,000 tons of waste per year.
In France in 2022, only 4% of plastic packaging is recycled according to citéo (Organization in charge of recycling household packaging and graphic papers), but 64% of cardboard is recycled.
Despite everything, the recyclability of paper and cardboard has its limits: 5 to 7 times maximum in order to keep their qualities knowing that there is 10% loss at each recycling.
