WEEE contribution
Decree 151, in response to the new obligations imposed on Producers regarding the collection and treatment of electrical and electronic waste, provides for a financial instrument, defined as "WEEE Contribution", to allow the latter to bear the costs relating to the management of WEEE .The "WEEE contribution", also called "WEEE eco-contribution", consists of an additional cost item applied by the Manufacturer to the products covered by the Regulation placed on the market. The "WEEE contribution" is functional exclusively to covering the costs of managing WEEE and does not represent a source of profit for the Producers, for the Collective Systems, nor for the point of sale.
The Law allows Manufacturers to decide whether to make it visible, i.e. separated from the price of the product, visible fee, or invisible, i.e. incorporate it into the total selling price of the product. A decision that will bind all the subjects of the commercial chain in the sales activities of the product itself. In fact, it is established by Legislative Decree 151/05 that if the WEEE contribution is made visible by the Producer, the Distributor is obliged to indicate to the final purchaser the price of the product separate from the cost of managing the WEEE. The management cost must be identical to that identified by the Manufacturer, remaining unchanged during the commercial steps of the entire supply chain.
The "WEEE Contribution" is expected to be paid upon purchase of a new product, by the Consumer to the Distributor. The Distributor pays it to the Manufacturer, who, in turn, passes it on to the Consortium to which he belongs and which guarantees in his name the fulfillment of the legal obligations required.
VieffeTrade Srl applies the DL by inserting the cost of the contribution within the price of the product and during the invoicing phase the total due is always separate from the cost of the item.
