Duralex glassware project ends as it is acquired by Cédric Meston, leaving 10,000 investors out of pocket. Meanwhile, a beekeeper finds mysterious green honey in two of his hives.
Duralex glassware project ends
On Thursday, October 16, 2026, the cooperative project for Duralex glassware came to an end as the company was acquired by industrialist Cédric Meston. This marked the conclusion of a unique business model where customers had directly funded the production of the glassware.
Investors lose their funding
The project had been supported by 10,000 French investors who had injected approximately 7 million euros into the initiative, with an average investment of 372 euros. These investors will therefore lose their investment, as the company's ownership has changed hands.
Beekeeper finds unusual honey
Separately, beekeeper Éric Manot discovered green honey in two of his three hives in Ariège. The discovery has raised questions about the natural processes that can lead to such an unusual color in honey.
Cause of green honey remains unknown
The origin of the green color and the reason only two hives were affected remain unknown. Experts are investigating whether environmental factors or the specific flora in the area could be responsible for this rare phenomenon.
