Dijon Merchants Organize Eco-friendly and Community-focused Events in Downtown
In downtown Dijon, local merchants are uniting for eco-friendly and community-focused initiatives. The Federation of Shop In Dijon has announced a series of sustainability events running through October and November 2025.
Key Initiatives for Sustainability
- Tote-Bag Recycling: From October 27 to November 18, customers can drop off reusable tote-bags at participating locations. These bags will be cleaned, stamped, and redistributed in December, reducing the reliance on single-use options.
- Window Blackout: Throughout November, stores will switch off their lights after 7:30 PM to conserve energy. The initiative aims to reduce collective energy consumption, with savings calculated post-event.
- Solidarity Collection: From November 17 to 21, donations for students at the University of Burgundy-Europe will be collected. This includes warm clothing, household items, and art materials.
Participating Merchants
Notable participants in these initiatives include:
- Bodysano
- CAMARA Dijon
- Comptoir du Japon
- Cyliena Maroquinerie
- Eat Salad
- Le Magasin Moderne
- NOMAD Hôtel Dijon
- Subway Dijon Gare
- Voyage Conseil Bourgogne
Community Involvement
The events not only support environmental goals but also foster community spirit. Locals are encouraged to participate in the solidarity collection, and contributors will receive a €5 gift voucher for every 5 kg of donations.
These actions highlight Dijon’s commitment to fostering a more sustainable and supportive local economy. Through joint efforts, the merchants aim to demonstrate that ecological responsibility and economic viability can coexist harmoniously.
