Blanquefort, September 17, 2025 – The official inauguration of the industrial washing site Re-uz for ETERNITY à Blanquefort, near Bordeaux, marks a major step in the structuring of the sector of reuse of food containers.

Le Blanquefort site is entirely dedicated to the washing, storage and logistics of reusable containers : stainless steel gastronorm containers, trays, cups, jars…
Thanks to its latest generation equipment, the site can process several tens of thousands of containers per day while respecting the highest standards of hygiene and traceability.

Designed to support the elimination of single-use packaging, it directly meets the needs of communities, public actors, commercial and event catering wishing to integrate reuse into their daily practices.
