Nestlé appeared from 23 to 27 March in Nancy for abandoning tons of plastic waste around his Vosges factories, polluting soil and water. On the first day of the trial, the president cancelled all the analyses carried out in the framework of the investigation to measure pollution.
The agri-food giant is accused of having polluted the microplastics of rivers and groundwaters in the Vosges. On Monday 23 March, the group succeeded in canceling overwhelming analyses in the Nancy courthouse.
Since Monday 23 March 2026, the judicial court in Nancy has been considering the trial of the Nestlé Waters landfills. The subsidiary of the Swiss group Nestlé is being prosecuted for the maintenance of four wild dumps in the Vosges around its bottling plants in eastern France. On the first day of the hearing, the judge announced that several procedural errors were retained.
The trial of Nestlé Waters concerning pollution related to illegal plastic landfills in the Vosges opened this Monday, March 23 in front of the correctional chamber of the tribunal of Nancy. A formal defect led the president of the court to pronounce the annulment of the results of analyses of the laboratory commissioned by the prosecution. A hard blow for the civil parties.
The trial of Nestlé Waters, prosecuted for offenses related to illegal dumping in the Vosges region, was suspended Monday just hours after it began at the Nancy courthouse. Some of the evidence submitted to the prosecution was ruled inadmissible.
