digitalized lockers

At Melchior & Balthazar, transparency, authenticity, your well-being and that of our planet are our priorities.
This is why we have created a cleaning gel and its eco-refill with a concept of digital deposit. The goal is to drastically limit our consumption of plastic.
Recycling is good but now REUSE!

A SIMPLE goal:
limit OUR and your ecological impact

2,3 million in 1950, 162 million in 1993, 448 million in 2015! This exponential growth is none other than that of the tonnage of the world production of plastic waste. The cosmetic sector contributes to the accumulation of this type of waste. The purchase of products with short consumption cycles such as soaps, shampoos, toothpastes is more questioned.

This is why we have created:
Eco-charging and its digital deposit!

In addition to a traditional product with real cosmetic virtues, Melchior & Balthazar offers an innovative digital deposit solution to drastically limit the ecological impact.

HOW DOES MELCHIOR & BALTHAZAR ECO-RECHARGE WORK?
A SAFE & TRANSPARENT LOCKOUT CIRCUIT

-79% CO2 emission per bottle returned instead of being discarded.

The explanation in video

the plastic puzzle

The increase in the production of plastic waste is accompanied by environmental pollution whose scope is hard to imagine. Of the 6,9 billion tonnes of plastic waste produced since 2015:

9% has been recycled,
12 were cremated,
79% was simply accumulated in landfills or in the wild.

The main disadvantage of liquid soaps comes from the packaging used to contain the soap itself. After use, the plastic bottle is discarded as waste:

Only a small fraction of plastics is recycled or recycled because unlike glass plastic is poorly recycled. Unfortunately, some plastic packaging is exported to be processed in other countries and some containers end up in the oceans forming continents of plastic or running aground on our coasts. Two levels of pollution are observed at the ocean level: visible plastic objects and invisible plastic particles which then permeate the flora and fauna ...

"5000 billion pieces of plastic are already floating in our oceans"

Some packaging contains some recycled plastic. But once thrown away, the pollution problem is not resolved and even recycled plastic has the same impact ...

"More than 40% of the plastic is used only once, before being thrown away"

Some companies report biodegradable plastics. This does not yet exist today! They themselves are unable to give degradation times for the product or to specify the fate of the particles afterwards.

“Estimates of the lifespan of plastic range from 450 years to infinity. "

That's why at Melchior & Balthazar we organized a deposit on our online commerce circuits. The only effective way to manage the future of packaging.

To create a real virtuous circle by combining economic and ecological interests:
