Summary
Le Fourgon, a Marquette-lez-Lille startup innovating in glass deposits for reuse, announced an 8.2 million extension to its Series A funding to expand its ranges of returnable products and develop its B2B offering \U0001f1eb\U0001f1f7 \U0001f95b This financing was carried out in two stages: 5.7 million raised from its main investors Id4 ventures, Teampact.ventures, La Poste Ventures, with the arrival of Bred, Noshaq and Future Positive Capital followed by 2.5 million raised from 1590 individual investors via the sustainable investment platform LITA.co . We are deeply grateful to our investors and the 1590 citizens who have joined us in this adventure. This contribution to our Series A not only strengthens our capacity for action; it testifies to a collective commitment to a fundamental change in our consumption patterns. At a time when France has set itself the target of reducing the use of plastic packaging by 50% by 2030, we want to accelerate the democratization of reuse and make deposits an essential reflex. Because changing our habits to protect the environment should be within everyones reach, says Charles Christory, CEO and Co-founder of Le Fourgon.
