The “Bourse aux Matériels” (BAM) simplifies the process of reusing internally La Poste material via a single online platform

Activities

La Poste integrates circular economy principles at every level of its operations. It extends the life of its equipment and supplies, gives them a second life, and
reduces and recycles its waste. BAM, an in-house developed online platform, is a company-internal exchange service that enables postal sites to re-use
objects instead of throwing them away. Postal employees offer on a dedicated online platform the items they no longer need but which are still in good
condition, like clothing, furniture, office supplies... Other employees can reserve these items and receive them via La Poste's internal transport links. Depending
on the item, advertisements are either published in-house, at regional or national level. Coming from a postal employee who had a good practical idea,
BAM is gradually being rolled out within all the Services, Mail and Parcels Business Unit, in other regional departments and in our real estate subsidiary.
The aim is to open it up to the whole Group.

Result & Impact

In 2024, 144 transactions have already enabled the exchange of more than 7,200 items. Since the start of the project in 2021, the equivalent of 1,6 million
euros and 177 tonnes of CO2 have been saved.
