The French government is looking to ban retailers from throwing away unsold consumer products.
The move, which would include electronics, cosmetics, and clothes, would be introduced to reduce the amount of waste being produced by the country and in turn better protect the environment.
French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe introduced the bill earlier this month.
He stated that every year, 650 million euros worth of new consumer products are either thrown away or destroyed in the country.
