Collectively and thanks to each clubs’ commitment, the Zero Plastic Club will save 4,8 tonnes of plastic water bottles from production on a yearly basis, starting from 2025. This is equivalent to travelling 13 Million km in a high-speed train!
And this doesn’t stop here. Many clubs have taken the pledge a step further, and eliminated many more plastic items from their operations. Follow this space to learn more about the full results of those 2 incredible years.

Why the Zero Plastic Club?
Every year, a 1,000 person capacity club operating with single-use plastic water bottles every weekend year-round would consume 1,5 tonnes of plastic. Just, with water bottles.
​
This harmful environmental practice is what a courageous group of 24 French nightclubs, spear-headed by the leadership of La Machine du Moulin Rouge, chose to tackle & prevent by gathering up into the Zero Plastic Club in February 2023. Collectively, they pledged to eliminate plastic water bottles from their premises within a 2 year horizon. Proactively and with the guidance of Bye Bye Plastic, they have been working to set up more optimal solutions, balancing both the planet & their bottom line.
​
Now getting close to the end of this 2-year trajectory, these clubs invite fellow French club operators to join #RameneTaGourde, and other countries to join forces with Bye Bye Plastic to replicate this bold pledge, furthering the wave of environmental change for the nightlife sector in their territory.
What is the Zero Plastic Club?
​We understand that the transition to zero-plastic takes time & resources. That's why we are here to help you! At Bye Bye Plastic Foundation, we believe that “Music is the Connection, Collective Action is the Solution”.
​
​24 French nightclubs have joined the Zero Plastic Club collective by committing to eliminate plastic water bottles within 2 years.
