Everything about SSE in 2018.
439,878
appliances redeployed or reused in 2018
36,065
tonnes of WEEE supplied to ESR in 2018
Following works undertaken between 2013 and 2016 and in parallel to current works on standards at a European level, a pilot project on the collection and management of spare parts coming from redeployment (RSP) was implemented at 3 ENVIE ERG sites (Strasbourg, Lille and Nantes) and coordinated by the Federation. This project is managed by the ADEME and ESR as well as the GIFAM.
This pilot took place between 2015 and end 2018 enabling the feasibility of rolling out a RSP process in its own right, to be better understood in operational and prospective terms. The results of this pilot are encouraging and highlight the need to use an existing network and to federate operations at a national level. In particular, similarities with the ELV spare parts management system were observed. The implementation of RSP for electric and electronic equipment will enable these parts to be counted in the collection activities of take-back scheme organisations but above all, to offer tested spare parts to consumers and professionals that are reliable and safe to use whilst minimising the production of waste.
A sustainable RSP sector would, in particular, enable the targets set by the Circular Economy Road Map to be met:

Since 2014 Eco-systèmes has been working with CENELEC in establishing a European standard on the reuse of
electric appliances. The objective is to define European commonalities on the challenges and problems linked
to reuse, via a wide and proven consensus.
The exemplary systems in traceability, guarantees, functionalities and take-back already implemented in
France by ESR and Envie have been acclaimed. The keys points in the reuse standardisation project include
the traceability and weighing of streams, the unique identification of each appliance and electrical safety
for all operators and users.
In 2018 this standard was finalised and voted on before being published in 2019. This standard is applied on a voluntary basis, and ESR will require all is partners in the social and solidarity economy to apply this. This involves, above all, assisting the SSE in achieving a target quality, which will constitute an excellent vector for making reuse activities even more professional.
