Le Drive tout nu: Bringing Circular Practices to the Supermarket
"Our model is based on a simple conviction: circularity must become the standard of consumption. Le Drive tout nu shows that it’s possible to eat well, reduce waste, and support local producers on a daily basis. By rethinking every step — from local sourcing to reusable container deposits and logistics — we make circularity a concrete reality every day. Our ambition is to prove that a packaging-free model can be scalable, cost-effective and profoundly useful.”
- Salomé Géraud, Co-founder and President of Le Drive tout nu
Founded in 2018, the French impact company Le Drive tout nu offers over 3,500 high-quality products (the majority of which are locally sourced) and makes them accessible to as many people as possible through its vast network of distribution channels. The company’s holistic approach takes this one step further by not only supporting producers in implementing zero-waste practices that have a positive environmental impact, but also advocating for the transition of the entire food production and distribution chain towards a circular, zero-waste model.
In June 2025, Le Drive tout nu successfully closed a 7 million euro funding round with BNP Paribas as part of the Group’s 200 million euro impact investing envelope and SWEN Capital Partners. Since then, this funding has enabled Le Drive tout nu to expand its reach in France with Le Drive tout nu supermarkets in Toulouse, Bordeaux, Lille and Rennes, with more locations coming soon.
"We are proud to support Le Drive tout nu, a revolutionary company that offers a meaningful solution: to encourage zero waste by simplifying consumption patterns through the return and deposit of reusable containers, and promoting organic farming by offering healthy, local, delicious and accessible products. Their plan to expand to other geographic areas will help accelerate the democratisation of more responsible consumption.”
