The fight against plastic pollution is now a major priority. As part of its commitment to the environment and sustainability, the City Council today presented a comprehensive assessment of the sources, flows, and leaks of plastic in its territory, along with an ambitious strategy for a plastic-free future: “Zero Plastic Horizon.”
A Significant Challenge for Nice
This assessment is the result of extensive work carried out by local authorities. It highlights the magnitude of the challenge the city faces regarding plastic pollution. Various sources, complex flows, and uncontrolled leaks have been identified, putting the local ecosystem and public health at risk.
Faced with this alarming reality, the City Council proposes a proactive and determined strategy: “Zero Plastic Horizon.” This ambitious strategy aims to gradually eliminate the use of single-use plastic in all aspects of daily life in Nice.
Among the key measures of this strategy is the ban on single-use plastic items in new public domain occupation agreements. This decision marks a clear break from past practices and demonstrates the municipality’s determination to take concrete steps to preserve the environment.
A Strong Signal for the Environment
By adopting the “Zero Plastic Horizon” strategy and approving the ban on single-use plastic items, the Nice City Council sends a strong signal. Environmental protection and the promotion of a sustainable lifestyle are at the heart of its priorities.
This exemplary initiative by the city of Nice paves the way for future generations. Nice thus leads the movement toward a plastic-free future, inspiring other municipalities to take similar measures to combat plastic pollution and thus build a cleaner, more respectful planet.
