Out of good resolution for 2021?

Here's a very simple one: you'll never drink from a disposable cup again.

And to replace it, here are four gourds to put at the foot of the tree.

It does not matter whether they are a hundred years old, like Le Grand Tétras, or a hundred days old like Ecob, the main thing is that they are produced nearby so as not to ruin our fine efforts in one import.

Red biconcave gourd, Le Grand Tétras - Le Grand Tétras

To the pioneers, the grateful Nation.

When the Capercaillie released its first biconcave gourd, France had not yet experienced either of the two great world conflicts.

One hundred and eight years later, it is still made from the original mold, using a period process that can leave traces on the metal, a sort of guaranteed label.

Chic and timeless.

Stainless steel bottle Made in France Zeste - Zeste

A beautiful story, that of the Zeste gourd.

To produce their creation in France, the designer couple Christopher Santerre and Clara Rivière had to convince an industrialist to adapt his production tool and recreate a production chain.

It was the Guy Degrenne factory that took up the challenge and can today be proud of producing the first 100% French stainless steel bottle for Zeste.

Gourd Gobi Indoor, Gobi - Gobi

It's been ten years since Gobi launched its gourds to conquer our tote bags.

The company already claims more than 5,000 tonnes of waste avoided but does not intend to stop there.

This year, it is launching the Gobi Indoor, the first glass bottle entirely made in France.

Beautiful and practical.

Recycled glass bottle, Ecob - Ecob

The two young brothers behind Ecob got it right: a wooden stopper (two in fact in the proposed pack), a cork cover, a recycled polyester cord and a recycled glass bottle to give the liquid no odor. and minimize the carbon impact of their creation.

The succession is assured !
