The Dealer is the professional who, in the course of his activity, distributes, installs and replaces Professional Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) belonging to the Printing sector.
Any EEE that belong to the professional Printing sector such as printers, copiers, multifunction printers, photoprinters, 3D printers, scanners and plotters.
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 Printing 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 “Printing” sector intended for professional use can join the program.
The Exceed Printing service has been developed by Producers of professional printers and photocopiers to increase the collection streams of the related waste in Italy. With Exceed Printing, Producers, Dealers, users and logistics partners 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.
The WEEE Grouping Place (related to the purchase of a new EEE) and the Temporary Storage Facility (related to the collections of professional printers originating from your business) must comply with precise regulatory requirements. Remember that you will need to empty your Grouping Place and/or Temporary Storage Facility at the frequency required by current law. The training provided to you online and with the app will address this and many other legal issues in detail.
For the collection of waste there is a complex bureaucracy which the Dealer must strictly follow as there are severe penalties and inspections are frequent. Exceed Printing gives you all the tools to do things right and help reach the 65% collection target set for Professional WEEE without worries.
When you take back obsolete equipment from your customers – following the sale of new equipment – registration of your pre-collection deposit at the Centro di Coordinamento RAEE is required.
If, on the other hand, you only manage professional printer waste from your business, registration at the Centro di Coordinamento RAEE is not mandatory (in this second case it is Temporary Storage of waste produced by you).
No, you can also send us to collect it directly from your customer after the decommissioning of the machine. We can also agree on a precise date to make it even easier.
Yes, but the Exceed Printing service is for professional equipment only (which you collect from your VAT-registered business customers) and therefore you will have to separately store the WEEE belonging to the Printing sector coming from households (i.e., that you collect from private citizens). You can ask us to collect those as well, if you wish, and we will explain how to do so.
By joining Exceed, you can also request collections of waste deriving from professional printers originating from your business, not directly linked to the installation of new equipment.
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.
