There has been an increase in controls and penalties, requiring both individuals and companies to be well-informed about legal disposal options to avoid hefty fines.

In many households, a common practice is carried out before going to sleep or before heading out on vacation: power strips are turned off and “anything unnecessary” is unplugged. The logic behind this action is clear: to reduce the so-called “phantom power consumption,” which refers to the electricity consumed by small indicator lights, clocks, power supplies, and devices that remain

Receiving a shockingly high electric bill can almost automatically startle anyone. In seconds, many households go from surprise to suspicion: “this can’t be right,” “there must be some mistake,” or “something must have spiked without us realizing.” Although sometimes the increase is due to a simple reason — higher electricity consumption — it’s not always the case. Other times, the
With the arrival of the first cold wave, a very common scene repeats itself in thousands of homes: people come home shivering, glance at the thermostat, and impulsively crank it up to 77 °F hoping the living room will warm up “faster”.
