ODIC has chosen to join ECOLOGIC in order to manage the end-of-life of its equipment, which is marketed throughout France. This is a strong, real commitment that assures end-user customers and installers that ODIC is complying with its environmental responsibilities.

ECOLOGIC is an eco-organisation, in other words a non-profit company invested by the State with the public service mission of managing the end-of-life of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

For installers, the equipment end-of-life process with ECOLOGIC is simple. This involves organising the collection, decontamination and treatment/recycling of equipment to ensure a responsible end-of-life.

When an installer installs an ODIC cabinet in place of an old cabinet that needs to be recovered (ODIC or other), they have three options:

– As soon as the installer is informed of the exact date on which the equipment can be collected from the customer’s premises, all they have to do is log on to the e-dechet.com website. This is a dedicated platform that operates throughout France, for requesting ECOLOGIC’s intervention for the collection of material(s) to be recycled. The installer must create an account directly via the online platform and place the order, around 10 working days before the desired collection date.

This service is free of charge provided that the total weight of the equipment to be removed exceeds 250 kg. Below this weight, the service will be invoiced at a flat rate of €140 excluding VAT.

– The installer may also set up a specific collection contract. They can then benefit from special advantages by collecting the equipment to be recycled from their customers themselves, and storing it directly at their premises (in order to reach the threshold of €140 EXCL. TVA for free collection). They will then be able to place an order with ECOLOGIC via their account on e-dechet.com for collection within 10 working days.

– As a third option, the installer can take the equipment to be recycled to a collection point (200 collection points to date), a list of which can be found via their account on e-dechet.com or by downloading the iDepose application onto their smartphone.

The benefits of ODIC and ECOLOGIC:

– Enables the installer to be compliant with legislation,

– The installer can guarantee their customer that the equipment will be decontaminated and recycled in accordance with regulations by reputable operators/recyclers, audited and controlled by ECOLOGIC,

– As a result, the installer will be able to enhance their “CSR” file (increasingly requested during public tenders or by customers who are particularly sensitive to respect for the environment),

– The installer will benefit from the assistance and advice of a dedicated team at ECOLOGIC (particularly with regard to regulatory aspects),

– The installer will be able to set up tailor-made options to adapt the means of collection to specific situations.

– And lastly, the installer will be able to prove and trace that the equipment collected has been treated/recycled thanks to the documents provided by ECOLOGIC at the time of collection or by downloading them via e-dechet.com after the operation.
