This collection performance represents an increase of 30% and is mainly due to the decline of materials prices, therefore many tonnes have been redirected to local authorities collection points such as municipalities, etc.

The decrease of materials prices on the markets led to modify the structure of prices for producers since operations shall continue no matter materials prices decline and minimum collection targets. 

All in all, 2016 has been a very challenging year for Ecologic, considering B2C & B2B WEEE collection perfomance, B2B renewals governmental approvals and professionnal kitchen waste furniture governmental approval. 

Ecologic, dedicated to WEEE in France is approved to manage professional kitchen furniture equipment. It has been developped for the purpose of its clients represented by the SYNEG (professional organisation that brings together and represents French manufacturers and the French subsidiaries of worldwide manufacturers working in all the areas of professional catering).

Ecologic manages B2B WEEE obligations on behalf of professional producers (manufacturers, importers, distributors, distant sellers). The team of Ecologic has developped strong partnerships notably with French Key Accounts. 

In 2016, Ecologic has reinforced its quality and environmental quality management and control in order to further maintain the level of quality of its operations, audits and services. 

Ecologic also considers its involvment within WEEElogic as a levy for better and future daily management, efficiency and quality control. 

Based on such evolutions, Ecologic expects to continuously improve its performances in the coming years!
