governed by European Directive WEEE 2012/19/EU. This partnership simplifies the mandatory administrative procedures
and ensures that old equipment is recovered via an official, structured channel. In terms of renovation work in France
(mainland and overseas), for every new unit installed, our partner will collect and dismantle your existing equipment.
