Heating and ventilation installers are the professionals to whom the customer turns for requests for installation, conversion and maintenance of professional air conditioning, cooling and HVAC systems.
Any EEE that belongs to the professional air conditioning sector, i.e., equipment that enables heat exchange in places such as public and private offices. This includes air conditioners, heat pumps, rooftop units, chillers, and hydronic terminals.
Within the Exceed Climate program there is also a pilot project enabling ITS to also deliver household WEEE belonging to the Climate sector, in order to maximise the recovery of refrigerant gases from professional and domestic air conditioning systems.
Household WEEE is defined as all the waste from equipment used by households but also that which can be used indifferently by households and professional users (dual-use).
Professional WEEE is defined as waste coming exclusively from equipment designed with functions and characteristics such as to be different from that intended for the final consumer and thus only usable by professionals or businesses.
Exceed Clima has the primary goal of increasing the collection streams of Professional WEEE in Italy and meet the European target of 65%. For this reason, only those Producers who put on the market EEE from the A/C sector intended for professional use can join the program.
The Exceed Clima service was developed by the Producers of professional air conditioning equipment to increase the collection streams of Professional WEEE in Italy. With Exceed Clima, Producers and heating and ventilation installers can enjoy significant administrative simplifications and the benefits deriving from the compliant management of WEEE, proactively contributing to the protection of the environment and the achievement of ambitious European collection targets.

There are many, but the most important are three.
Law 166/2024 removed the reference to the maximum amount of WEEE that can be transported in simplified mode by distributors, installers and technical service centres, so there are no longer any quantity limits for the journey from the pick-up point (at your customer’s premises) to the depot (at your warehouse). Of course, the quantities of WEEE you transport must be compatible with the capacity of the vehicle used.
Pre-collection storage of WEEE must follow precise regulatory guidelines. Remember that air conditioners are categorized as hazardous waste and that you will need to empty your WEEE Grouping at the frequency required by current law.
For the collection of waste there is a complex bureaucracy which the installer must strictly follow as there are severe penalties and inspections are frequent. Exceed Clima gives you all the tools to do things right and help reach the 65% collection target set for Professional WEEE without worries.
Yes, that’s correct. In order to collect WEEE according to the simplified modalities foreseen by Art 11 of Legislative Decree 49/2014, one has to register one’s pre-collection deposits on the portal of the Centro di Coordinamento RAEE.
No, you can also send us to collect it directly from your customer after the decommissioning of the air conditioning unit. We can also agree on a precise date to make it even easier.
Yes. The Exceed Clima service was created for the management of professional equipment waste but, to help you in your management, we also give you the possibility to deliver household climate WEEE. Of course, you will have to guarantee the separation of the two types of WEEE, both in the pre-collection deposit and when entrusting the transporter appointed by us.
If you have any doubts contact us, we will explain how to do it.
We only use Italian treatment plants, which after having made the waste safe (by removing, for example, the gas) will treat it obtaining a very high recovery percentage. We are a group of collective schemes with more than ten years of experience and we manage most of the electrical and electronic waste in Italy: we know what we are doing, and we like to do it well.
