PIERRE FABRE VA RECYCLER SES BROSSES À DENTS USAGÉES
Un bon d'achat sera remis aux utilisateurs des marques Inava et Elgydium qui rapporteront leurs brosses à dents usagées en pharmacie pour les faire recycler.
Les utilisateurs de brosses à dents aux marques Inava et Elgydium de Pierre Fabre, pourront les rapporter dans leur pharmacie pour les faire recycler, à partir de septembre 2016. Et pour les inciter à ce geste, un bon d’achat pour une nouvelle brosse à dents leur sera remis. Les brosses à dents usagées seront ensuite transmises àTerracycle, une entreprise de recyclage spécialisée dans le traitement des déchets difficilement recyclables, comme les gants de caoutchouc, les capsules de café ou encore les mégots de cigarettes. Le plastique sera retraité et transformé en granulés pouvant servir à fabriquer divers objets. Quant au nylon, il sera revendu à l’industrie. L’ensemble du processus de recyclage sera financé par Pierre Fabre Oral Care. L’opération sera limitée aux seules brosses à dents Inava et Elgydium. Juridiquement, explique-t-on chez Pierre Fabre, le bon de réduction ne permet pas d’ouvrir l’opération aux autres marques car il serait compris comme un instrument de captation de clientèle. C’est la première fois qu’une opération de recyclage de brosses à dents est menée en France. Aux Etats-Unis, une initiative de Colgate a déjà permis la construction d’une aire de jeux.
