Every year, more than 150,000 tons of bread that is still edible is thrown away in France. What if this waste could be turned into a resource?
The association Le Blé du Cœur, the French Federation of Food Banks, the Poulaillon group, and Carrefour are pleased to invite you to the inauguration of the first FlourBox: a containerized, connected, and automated micro-factory capable of locally transforming unsold bread into alternative flour.
Date and location
- Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.
- Poulaillon production workshop – 9, rue Robert-Schuman, 25410 Saint-Vit
This day will bring together committed stakeholders (institutions, manufacturers, associations, large retailers, etc.) around an innovation with a triple impact:
- Reducing food waste
- Reducing the carbon footprint
- Strengthening food aid
On the agenda
- FlourBox demonstration,
- Visit to the Poulaillon workshop,
- Tasting of products made with this alternative flour from unsold bread,
- Discussions on the creation of a national system for recycling unsold bread.
The alternative flour will be available at a solidarity price from July 2 at Carrefour Besançon Chalezeule. The funds raised will cover part of the costs of rolling out this first FlourBox.
