C’est possible avec la filière de recyclage mise en place par TerraCycle, partenaire du C2DS. Un mégot de cigarette met environ douze ans à se désagréger. Lorsque l’on sait qu’il contient de la matière organique et du plastique, des matières valorisables, dommage de le lancer à la poubelle.

Ecologic and WEEE at a glance
The C2DS would like to make your life easier and encourage you to use eco-organizations wherever possible. Here's the summary sheet produced by Ecologic, a C2DS partner specializing in the collection of certain types of WEEE: an at-a-glance overview of the equipment taken back, how collection is organized and who to contact.
Recap of Ecologic's missions (waste eco-organization)
Ecologic is in charge of collecting and recycling end-of-life Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), including computer and office equipment, kitchen and commercial refrigeration equipment, vending machines and professional tools.
Eco-organizations: the musketeers of recycling

Virtuous cycles for your waste: TerraCycle works alongside C2DS.
TerraCycle is a company specializing in the recycling of traditionally non-recycled waste, i.e. the vast majority of what we throw away. Collection solutions and recycling techniques are sought, but not at any cost. Indeed, the recyclability of waste is defined in terms of an economic equation: the cost of collection and recycling must be lower than the value of the recycled materials - logical!
Breathe in, breathe out!
In health and social care establishments, protection against chemical pollutants deserves the same attention as that against airborne infectious and radioactive risks, but you still need to know which chemical pollutants are present in indoor air.
