Our pilot projects

Implementing pilot projects

We support our member companies by helping them to work together to set up pilot projects in the field.

Phase 1

Testing solutions in a pilot company

Phase 2

Spreading the word and sharing our results for a Mediterranean impact

We focus on three sectors:

Hospitality – Mass retail – Logistics

Hospitality – Phase 1

Testing solutions in a pilot company

Take into account the local context and issues
Involve all the stakeholders: staff, management, scientific committee, companies, NGOs, local stakeholders, etc.
Test the selected solutions
Avoid transferring impacts
Check feasibility, customer acceptance and economic viability

Our results

Environmental, economic and social benefits achieved in two pilot hotels:

The InterContinental Marseille – Hôtel Dieu, Marseille (France)
La Badira, Hammamet (Tunisia)

Dive into the method

Hospitality – Phase 2

Spreading the word and sharing our results for a Mediterranean impact

Draw up a method covering the key stages, the tools used and feedback from the pilot company
Disseminate widely to facilitate adaptation and replication of the approach

The development and dissemination of the ‘Towards a zero single-use plastic hotel’ method have led to the creation of an online training course for hotels and NGOs wishing to implement it.

Logistics

Collectively supporting our member companies in reducing their use of industrial and commercial plastic packaging (ICP).

We are currently working on a new collective pilot project comprising several phases:

Mapping the industrial and commercial packaging used by member companies.
Collectively prioritising the packaging to be targeted within the project.
Benchmarking of solutions that can be implemented by companies, and evaluation of these solutions by scientific members and NGOs.
In-house testing
Review and continuous improvement.

This project is intended to run for a period of one and a half years. Companies may implement all or part of the stages.
