Netcomm (Italian e-commerce consortium) and Remedia (Italian consortium operating in the eco-sustainable management of technological waste) have created a partnership to support the “One to One” decree that establishes – also for those who sell online – the free collection of an old product if the consumer purchases a new one. This service is a consumer’s right and a regulatory obligation. Thanks to this partnership, all companies that sell online electrical and electronic equipment (not associated with Netcomm or Remedia) can benefit from the “E-Commerce Plus” service. The service guarantees: the adhesion to Remedia for all regulatory fulfillment; the Netcomm Seal for the e-commerce websites that in this way can ensure a quality, transparent and reliable service to their consumers; the registration in the Italian Register of Environmental Operators for the fulfillment related to the “One to One” collection of the products equivalent to those marketed; the “RAEE (WEEE) Coupon” service for the collection of old small products (less than 25 centimeters) with the “One to One” principle. “The online purchase of technological products is becoming more and more important. It is therefore essential to work efficiently so that the e-commerce operators are in line with the environmental legislation and ensure a correct recycle of electronic waste, helping to achieve the goals set by the European Union – said Danilo Bonato, general director of Remedia -. The partnership with Netcomm is the result of a fruitful collaboration with the aim of promoting good practices in the online sale of electrical and electronic equipment, and with the aim of making the end-of-life management of these appliances more effective. The services we provide thanks to this collaboration are created to further accelerate the awareness process on the correct WEEE collection in a market such as the e-commerce that could be an important driver for the entire sector”. “The partnership with Remedia – added Roberto Liscia, president of Netcomm – is a further capability of our consortium to provide – not only to our members, but also to all Italian companies that operate in the e-commerce – useful and comprehensive services that make their customers’ experience ever more satisfying. Today, online shoppers expect their needs are met quickly and easily: to have a service for the WEEE collection and disposal such as the one offered by Netcomm and Remedia is certainly in this direction. Besides, for the e-commerce websites this allows to be compliant with the European legislation and to offer a transparent service”.
