We had the chance to visit the Ecodair site in Paris, a Solidarity Company of Social Utility like AJE-Paris.
​
It is made up of workers and employees divided into 3 divisions, ESAT, Adapted Company, and Integration Company. Ecodair ensures the collection of computing equipment and repairs equipment using recycled materials in addition to offering computer maintenance services.
​
Ecodair's work makes it possible to:
- Give new life to IT equipment,
- Participate in the circular economy,
- Employ people in difficult or vulnerable conditions,
- And ensure a broader social mission by making IT and digital accessible to all, through reconditioning and re-commerce, a new term designating the marketing of used products intended to be reconditioned, for reuse.
Ecodair and AJE-Paris share the same values such as solidarity, equal opportunities and co-construction with those of us who are talented and socially or financially vulnerable. Thus, with the APPOS Foundation, Ecodair has made high-end computers available to help AJE-Paris in its global support mission and has helped students in the 4th and 5th years after the Baccalaureate who have to use complex virtual software.
