What 1 Déchet Par Jour does

1 Déchet Par Jour is a Marseille-headquartered non-profit association (association loi 1901, SIRET 81890645500022) founded in 2015-2016 by Edmund Platt and George Edouard Legré, operating under the mission of creating a physical human barrier between waste and nature. The organization runs a portfolio of community-driven environmental services: public waste collection events held 1-2 times monthly, school and periscolaire environmental sensitization programs delivered across primary, secondary, and high schools as well as social centers, paid corporate team-building and RSE consulting services, an annual 1DPJ Tour partnering with local NGOs in French cities, an interactive Zero Waste Map of Marseille, a merchandise boutique, and an educational blog updated twice monthly. It is governed entirely by volunteers with no paid staff, led by President Charlotte Oriol and Co-President Naya Mendy.

The association is funded through five revenue streams: annual individual membership fees (subscription/recurring), individual and corporate donations including via the Lilo platform, periodic crowdfunding campaigns (e.g., '1 for the Planet' which doubles donations), paid corporate team-building programs, and merchandise sales. Major media partnerships—most notably a multi-year alliance with NRJ for the NRJ GREEN LIVE concert series tied to World Cleanup Day, plus coverage by TF1, France 2, BFMTV, Le Monde, and La Provence—provide non-cash distribution at scale. Geographic reach has expanded from Marseille to roughly 15 local chapters in France and abroad (Malta, Brussels, Paris, Lyon), with international exchange projects active in Hamburg, Saint-Pétersbourg, and Tbilisi.

The technology stack is deliberately minimal: a Webflow-hosted marketing website, standard social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, X), and an interactive Zero Waste Map; the association develops no proprietary software or AI capabilities. Since founding, 1 Déchet Par Jour has collected 42,842 kg of waste, sensitized 48,272+ people, and organized 535 events, with 2022 alone accounting for 15,000+ sensitizations and 130+ events. The model is structurally analogous to a grassroots activist franchise combined with a small B2B services arm, with scale driven by volunteer mobilization rather than paid headcount.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• The Ocean Cleanup: Larger, technology-driven ocean plastic removal organization with substantially more funding and global reach; operates in the same plastic-pollution category but with a fundamentally different technical and capital-intensive approach.
• Ocean Conservancy (Trash Free Seas): Larger international NGO running the International Coastal Cleanup, the global reference program that 1DPJ's World Cleanup Day activities tie into; significantly broader scope and resources.

Direct peers

• Boud'mer: French marine non-profit organizing underwater and coastal debris cleanups with volunteer divers; directly overlaps with 1DPJ's marine and shoreline collection events.
• Zero Waste France: National French non-profit promoting zero-waste lifestyles, bulk buying and waste reduction education, overlapping with 1DPJ's blog content, Zero Waste Map and school sensitization programs.
• Clean Walker: Founded by Benjamin Carboni, who co-animated 1DPJ's Love Ta Bonne Mère 2019 cleanup; runs community walk-and-clean events in France with the same grassroots volunteer structure.
• Wings of the Ocean: French non-profit organizing underwater and coastal cleanup events with volunteer divers and citizens, directly comparable to 1DPJ's Vallon des Auffes cleanups with Mer Veille and Boud'mer.
• Surfrider Foundation Europe: French-based environmental non-profit focused on ocean protection and community-led beach cleanups, with similar volunteer mobilization and educational outreach mission to 1 Déchet Par Jour.
• Mer Veille: Marseille-based marine conservation association partnering with 1DPJ on the Vallon des Auffes cleanup; runs citizen coastal cleanup events with a directly comparable audience and mission.
• Expédition MED: French citizen-science initiative focused on Mediterranean plastic pollution and shoreline cleanups, with a comparable volunteer-driven, event-based model anchored in the same southern France geography.

Emerging players

• Plastic Bank: Social enterprise focused on stopping ocean plastic by building collection and recycling networks in coastal communities; shares 1DPJ's community-engagement framing around plastic waste but runs a paid-collection rather than volunteer model.
