Nestlé is being prosecuted for allegedly “illegally abandoned” between 2021 and 2024 waste in the form of “water bottles, glass, polymers” for a total volume of 346,000 cubic metres at Contrexeville (equivalent to the volume of 92 Olympic swimming pools) and 27,000 cubic meteres at Saint-Ouen-Lès-Parey (equivalent to seven Olympic swimming pools), each time constituting “an unauthorised dumping ground causing substantial environmental degradation”, notes the court in its notice of hearing consulted by AFP.
