FAQ

What do we mean by "out of print"?

The used cartridges as well as the used toner must be stored in special containers called ECOBOX, intended to contain only this type of waste.

This container must be dedicated to the individual company that requests it and will be emptied at least once a year through a company specialized in the disposal and / or recovery of this material.

ati della traduzione How will the fourth copy of the waste transport form be returned to me?

The Budget Law (Law no. 205/2017) allows the fourth copy of the waste identification form (FIR) to be sent by certified email.

The possibility of transmitting the fourth copy of the FIR through certified e-mail (PEC) is provided for in art. 1 paragraph 1135 of the law n. 205/2017 (Budget Law), at point 3 this law clearly states “The transmission of the fourth copy of the waste transport form provided for in paragraph 2 of article 193 is permitted, also by certified e-mail.”

This aspect is also confirmed by the note from the Ministry of the Environment no. 1588 of 31/01/2018.

This standard therefore aims to simplify the management of waste traceability documents by starting a gradual dematerialization of the same.

Incorrect waste management due to poor information contributes to polluting the environment.

Violation of the rules on waste management involves heavy penalties.
