Information on the WEEE eco-tax
From January 1, 2025, the amount of the eco-participation (WEEE), included in the price of our electrical and electronic appliances, will increase. This change is the result of new regulations aimed at strengthening the financing of the collection, recycling and recovery of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
Why is the eco-tax increasing?
- An environmental commitment: Eco-participation helps reduce pollution and waste from end-of-life equipment.
- A regulatory framework: The European WEEE Directive requires manufacturers to ensure the collection, recycling and recovery of used equipment through a system of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
Payment of this eco-participation is compulsory and directly integrated into the sale price.
How is it applied?
Total price = Product price + Eco-participation
This amount is clearly indicated on our invoices and included in the product price. It is paid to an approved eco-organization to finance recycling.
How do I get my old equipment back?
When your new electrical appliance is delivered, our delivery personnel can take back your old equipment free of charge*. To take advantage of this service, tick the "Yes" box to the question about taking back old equipment when you place your order on our website.
Recovered equipment is entrusted to an eco-organization for recycling or recovery.
*Within the limits of the quantity and type of product sold.
