A proactive and reasoned approach to sustainable development and the circular economy

We take a proactive and reasoned approach to sustainable development and the circular economy. Because we believe it’s our role to contribute to a more sustainable and responsible lifestyle, we are committed to this on a daily basis. Some examples are given below:

  • Over 98% of our products are manufactured in France,
  • We prefer local partners, close to our production site,
  • We strive to limit our carbon footprint,
  • Our products are tested to ensure full compliance with relevant standards, where applicable
  • We fight against planned obsolescence by maintaining our ranges year after year so that you do not need to change your equipment. And, contrary to popular belief, the plastic we use is fully recyclable.
  • Our end-of-stock products or products with defects are donated to the Agence du Don en Nature for a second life.
