Jean Bouteille, la consigne est de retour

<p> <em>J’embouteille in French means to refill a bottle by yourself.</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> The way our society focuses on consumption today leads us to a dead end: <strong>too much waste is produced.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> To reverse this trend, Jean Bouteille was born. Its goal is to allow us to <strong>consume without wasting</strong>. Yes, it is finally possible!</p> <p>  </p> <p> To accomplish this, the innovative firm brings back<strong> the returnable bottle system </strong>and marries it to <strong>bulk sale.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><strong>How does it work?</strong></u></p> <p> In Jean Bouteille’s world you are the <em>Jean Bouteille. </em>You fill a Jean Bouteille bottle of<strong> wine, oil or vinegar</strong> of the quantity you need; thanks to a self-service bottling machine installed in a shop. The bottle is returnable. So, when it's empty, you bring the used bottle back to the shop and take a clean new one as a <em>J’embouteille.</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>Find an exemple below:</em></p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="540" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fv.cdn.vine.co%2Fr%2Fvideos_h264high%2FEDF2F397511115642809492320256_SW_WEBM_14089641758219a1a5ebb82.mp4%3FversionId%3DcayQVjCbT_jSITQsLJ9VLLejGvSkhF1L&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;src_secure=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fvine.co%2Fv%2FMl7n7njtqQL&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fv.cdn.vine.co%2Fr%2Fthumbs%2F0C8F15BAE41115642812235427840_SW_WEBM_1408964175821_imagef2ef61574c.jpg%3FversionId%3DPFwwditd9jVjVY7PS7rIJHFeeA2DPODK&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=video%2Fmp4&amp;schema=vine" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><strong>Where can you find us?</strong></u></p> <p> Today, three shops are equipped with our solution:</p> <p> - Two Biocoop (Organic Produce Store) in Villeneuve d’Ascq and Hazebrouck (Northern France)</p> <p> - Almata (Zero Waste shop) in Brussels, Belgium</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Curculaire" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/108146/curculaire.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> With an innovative approach of <strong>short circuit sale,</strong> the economic model allows to offer <strong>high quality product; cheaper with a very low environmental footprint while increasing the purchasing power of the consumer</strong><strong> at the same time</strong><strong>.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> The keywords of the concept are:<strong> frugal innovation </strong>(make more with less), <strong>circular economy</strong> (packaging reuse), <strong>service economy</strong> (sell the usage of an object instead of the object itself).</p> <p>  </p> <p> Did you know that for <strong>one </strong>returnable glass bottle bought you<strong> save</strong> up to <strong>20</strong> single use bottles? My current goal is to reach 200 000 bottles sold which means 4 million bottles saved a year!</p> <p>  </p> <p> Thanks to this system, we can<strong> save up to 500,000 tons of packaging <a>waste. </a></strong> (Source: Returnable drinking packaging study made by the ADEME)</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Logo_jeanbouteille_2_coul_baseline-1408370931" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/113683/Logo_JeanBouteille_2_coul_BASELINE-1408370931.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p>

Allocation of funds

<p>  </p> <p> The returnable bottle system includes <strong>the incorporation of a washing unit</strong> situated within a radius<strong> 50km</strong> from the shops.</p> <p>  </p> <p> We need<strong> your support;</strong> to help us d<strong>evelop this network of washing units</strong> all around France and Europe because<strong> sustainability comes with volume and availability. Of course - we want to be close to you.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> We are firm believers in Social Responsibility. The washers are installed in Professional Centers for the Disabled. This way we offer physically challenged individuals an opportunity to get a <strong>steady</strong> <strong>job and financial independence</strong>. Today, the washer for the Lille region is installed at the Papillons Blancs Center in Lomme, Northern France.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Here is our washing unit in Northern France:</p> <p> <img alt="2014-09-04_09.59.03-1412266768" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/124774/2014-09-04_09.59.03-1412266768.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>A washing unit costs approximately 50K € which includes:</strong></p> <p> <strong>- A bottle washer</strong></p> <p> <strong>- A heating chamber</strong></p> <p> <strong>- A set of Jean Bouteille bottles and plastic crates</strong></p> <p> <strong>- A mid-size truck to manage bottle logistics </strong></p> <p> <strong>- Create and fund at least two jobs; Regional Jean Bouteille Manager and Cleaning Agents</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Your donation will help to<strong> finance 10%</strong> of a regional unit. For <strong>each 5K€ generated today</strong>, <strong>we promise to install a new washing unit for a new region and will follow this rule if the full collect is raised.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> Of course if the capital is raised from your neighborhood, we will target to install washing units close to you.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="The_team-1412266946" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/124775/the_team-1412266946.jpg"></p> <p> <img alt="Teamenglish-1412266974" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/124776/TEAMENGLISH-1412266974.jpg"></p> <p> <img alt="They_believe_in_us-1412267017" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/124777/they_believe_in_us-1412267017.jpg"><img alt="They_believe_in_usjpg-1412267037" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/124778/they_believe_in_usjpg-1412267037.jpg"></p> <p> <img alt="They_talk_about_us-1412267053" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/124779/they_talk_about_us-1412267053.jpg"><img alt="Ils_parlent_de_nous_logo-1412259649" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/124683/ils_parlent_de_nous_logo-1412259649.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="They_support_us-1412267083" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/124780/they_support_us-1412267083.jpg"></p> <p> <img alt="Partenaires-1412267452" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/124784/partenaires-1412267452.jpg"></p> <p> <img alt="Hall_of_fame-1412267610" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/124788/hall_of_fame-1412267610.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  <img alt="Troph_e__co_circu_anglais-1412087828" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/123865/troph_e__co_circu_anglais-1412087828.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p>
