Zero waste collaborative map
There are: bulk stores, repair workshops and repair cafés, reuse centres (e.g. thrift stores), composters, and merchants identified by local groups of Zero Waste France.
The map is collaborative: anyone can add addresses! It also retrieves addresses from other data sources (including OpenStreetMap).
La Maison du Zéro Déchet (the Home of Zero Waste)
The Maison du Zéro Déchet sells zero waste products (hygiene products, water bottles, DIY, composters) and includes an associative café that promotes returnable drinks. The café itself has been fitted out with a lot of reuse and it is THE place to see zero waste in action in Paris. It hosts the offices of Zero Waste France, the Réseau Consigne and Zero Waste Paris. We carry out many zero waste trainings there.
