  • What is the difference between electrical equipment and electronic equipment?
    Electrical equipment works at 220V and generally includes an electric motor or heating element. The usage is therefore relatively high: from 500 to 3000 Watts. (A normal lamp uses 60 W per hour). Some run on 12V, such as a vacuum cleaner for the car.
    Electronic equipment works at low voltage: 1.5 up to 5V and contains electronic circuits or micro-processors with very low usage.
  • What is the "Cradle to Cradle" principle (C2C)?
    The core of Cradle to Cradle lies in the concept = "waste is food".
    All used materials, on reaching the end of their working life in one product, can be usefully deployed to make another product. This should not lead to a loss of quality. All residual products must be able to be reused or be environmentally neutral. This cycle is then complete ... and the waste forms the raw material for new products. This sustainable approach consists of the development via innovation and research of ways in which the needs of the current generation are provided for, without limiting the opportunities for the following generation.

    The 3 basic rules of the Cradle to Cradle principle are:
    - Waste = food
    - Sun = energy source
    - Respect for Diversity
