ECO-CONTRIBUTION & TAKE-BACK OF YOUR OLD APPLIANCE

Since November 2006, an important measure has been implemented to encourage environmental protection when purchasing new electrical or electronic appliances. This initiative takes the form of an eco-contribution, also known as Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

When you decide to purchase a new appliance, this WEEE eco-contribution is added to the total cost of your purchase, and it is much more than a simple tax; it holds a paramount ecological value. By making this payment, you are directly contributing to financing the essential processes of collecting, treating, and recycling waste from electrical and electronic equipment. These devices, which have become indispensable in our daily lives, have also created a major challenge in terms of waste management. Therefore, the implementation of the eco-contribution aims to minimize the negative impact of this waste on the environment and to promote responsible resource management.

Thanks to this collective and responsible approach, waste from electrical and electronic equipment can be effectively recovered, preventing it from ending up in landfills or being improperly treated, which would have disastrous consequences for the environment. Moreover, recycling these devices allows for the recovery of valuable and strategic materials, thus contributing to the preservation of natural resources and the reduction of mining.

If you wish to learn more about this ecological initiative and the concrete actions implemented, you can visit the website of our partner dedicated to this cause: http://www.eco-systemes.fr/. There, you will find further information on the environmental benefits of this eco-contribution and how it actively contributes to the preservation of our planet.

By supporting this initiative, you become an essential actor for positive change towards a more environmentally friendly society. Your commitment to the eco-contribution contributes to the sustainable management of electronic waste, the reduction of our collective carbon footprint, and the protection of fragile ecosystems. Together, we can make a real difference for the future of our planet and for future generations.
