Have you thought about reuse?

Before buying a new appliance or recycling one that you don’t need anymore, explore other options.

If you want to change your cooling appliance that’s still in good working order, consider giving it a second life before recycling it, and opting for a used appliance.

How?

Buy used

When the time comes to change your cooling appliance, think about checking the online classified ads before opting for a new appliance. These sites generally offer a wide range of products.

That way, you give your appliance a second life and avoid the manufacturing of a new one.

Sell it

Even if it no longer meets your needs, your appliance could make someone else happy. GoRecycle encourages you to sell your working appliance.

Donate it

Numerous reuse organizations accept household appliances and give them a second life. Your donation will help finance their activities and support the social economy in your region.

Do you know
the 4R principle?

Reuse is part of the 4R principle,
which proposes four ways to reduce waste
and conserve our resources.

R. Reduce at the source

Reducing at the source means using fewer resources and therefore generating less waste.

R. Reuse

Reusing means giving products a second life. Repairing, donating, and selling are some examples of reuse.

R. Recycle

Recycling consists in transforming a material into a new product. This new product can be similar to the original product or completely different.

R. Recover

Valorisation of materials according to their energetic potential as a substitute for raw materials.
