Résumé anglais We all know that plastic waste is polluting the oceans, and this struggle by NGOs is attracting a growing audience. With China refusing to deal with the world's waste since 2017, plastic recycling is becoming a matter of urgency. Nevertheless, the challenge is formidable. Recycled plastic is more expensive than petrochemical plastic, due to the costs of collection, sorting and processing. It also raises safety concerns, a key issue for an electrical manufacturer like the French Compagny Legrand. In addition, it is incompatible with bright colours, which disturbs designers. Furthermore, instead of sourcing from large suppliers, manufacturers must deal with a fragile and heterogeneous supply chain, combining social economy structures, craftsmen and businesses. That's a lot of problems to solve and a lot of stakeholders to reassure. Yet Legrand has committed itself to this approach through an ambitious CSR policy and has set itself the target of using at least 15% recycled plastics by the end of 2024.
