Zero Waste on the Mountain operation | The big waste collection

Garbage collection, program & departures
To prepare for the summer season, La Plagne is inviting you to take part in its Spring Cleanup!
Because the mountains are the starting point of the water cycle: polluting the mountains has a major impact on the whole chain.
Did you know? 80% of marine waste originates on land (source: NGO Surfriders).
Our aim? To take care of our mountains, to better understand them so we can take action to reduce waste at source.

WHAT IS CARAC'?
Characterization enables a detailed analysis of the waste collected: total weight, weight by type (plastic, wood, textile, cardboard, metal, glass, rubber, other), monitoring of indicator waste (specific to tourist facilities, specific to local business activity, etc.). Thanks to this, we'll have a precise assessment enabling us to work on an action plan to reduce waste at source.

In practice: a scale and a large tarpaulin allow us to characterize the waste collected, in a joyful and good-humored way!

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
→ Remember to take your water bottle with you, thick gloves and bags, such as shopping bags, to take part.
We advise you to bring suitable equipment: sneakers, mountain boots, fleece, cap, sunglasses and sun cream!
