The dynamic growth of the e-commerce market means that customers increasingly expect additional services from online stores, such as carrying in purchased goods or unpacking them. The Act on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, which covers the online channel, obliges distributors to collect and dispose of old appliances free of charge when purchasing or delivering new ones.
In response to the needs of consumers and manufacturers, ROHLIG SUUS Logistics, in addition to deliveries during non-standard hours, also offers a service for the collection of used household appliances and electronics, which is a novelty in the logistics services market. The day and time are agreed upon individually with the customer, and the collection request is placed along with the delivery order as an additional service complementing the delivery of equipment ordered in the e-shop.
Professional execution of the e-waste collection service is guaranteed by the operator’s high competence in handling large household appliances. This is particularly important because this type of e-waste is among the most troublesome devices in terms of delivery to a disposal point.
– Commissioning the service to a professional operator ensures that the devices will reach certified disposal companies that handle their recovery and recycling. Moreover, they operate with respect for the natural environment and in accordance with EU directives – emphasizes Anna Galas, Director of Contract Logistics Development at ROHLIG SUUS Logistics.
