Pick up litter and get a great shopping deal – yes, it’s possible!
In Marseille, Meanwhile Boutique is welcoming Monnaie Sauvage into its aisles: these tokens, made from waste collected on our beaches, are becoming a real alternative currency.
Use them on our selection of second-hand clothing and items to get discounts and give your purchases more meaning.
Here, every action counts, every purchase tells a story, and the environment is the ultimate winner.
Meanwhile Boutique is committed alongside the Sauvage Méditerranée association
Together for a plastic-free Mediterranean
Every day, nearly 630,000 tonnes of plastic waste pollute the Mediterranean Sea, according to ADEME. This alarming figure highlights the urgent need to act together to preserve our marine ecosystem and, more broadly, our health.
This is why Meanwhile Boutique is partnering today with Sauvage Méditerranée.

An association that turns waste into resources
Based in Aix-en-Provence,, Sauvage Méditerranée collects, upcycles, and reinvents waste gathered on Mediterranean beaches — bottle caps, fishing nets, containers, and even sea glass — giving it a second life as eco-designed creations: jewelry, trophies, promotional items, and much more.
But the association’s work doesn’t stop there. With its Mobile Recycling Center, Sauvage Méditerranée visits schools, businesses, and events to raise awareness among young and old about the challenges of marine pollution and the circular economy.
Furthermore, driven by the desire to expand its impact, the association has created an inclusive system that rewards every action for the planet: the Monnaie Sauvage.
An alternative currency born from nature
From beach cleanups to the checkout counters of Marseille shops, Monnaie Sauvage is creating a new way to give value to civic engagement. Made from waste collected during cleanup operations, this local currency puts environmental impact at the heart of everyday life.
Volunteers convert their efforts into tokens that they can spend at like-minded partners: zero waste, short supply chains, local solidarity.
