Hoteliers have the obligation to offer a glass of water free tap to its customers since last Monday, April 11. Contrary to widely held belief, it was not forced before the Law of Waste and Contaminated Soils for a Circular Economy. Thus, it was left to the discretion of each local.

Glass of water and other measures against plastic

In addition, to promote consumption without plastics, it requires surfaces of more than 400 square meters to dedicate at least 20% of its surface to products without packaging. Within this enter both the Bulk sale like the containers you reused. Thus, it reminds us a bit of the struggle of France against plastic.
On the contrary, to encourage consumers to purchase products without plastics, the same regulation of the glass of water A special regulation will apply to establishments of more than 400 square meters. It will be necessary for them to dedicate at least 20% of their space to products without packaging, sold in bulk or through reusable packaging.
