Lafarge Holcim has been accused of dumping industrial waste into the Seine at two separate locations
The operator of the plant, Swiss-headquartered construction giant Lafarge Holcim, has been accused of tipping industrial waste into the Seine river from this factory, and another further up the river.The accusations are part of a broader tension between different ideas about what sort of city Paris should be: a beautiful, tranquil haven for residents and tourists, or a thrusting global capital with a vibrant economy.
A spokesman for the Paris prosecutor’s office said a probe has been opened after video footage emerged of a Lafarge cement mixer at its site on Paris’s Bercy quay discharging a white liquid into the river. One photograph, which she said was taken on June 9 this year, showed a Lafarge cement mixer discharging water from its mixer into the river, leaving a slick in the water.
