Creation and management of a network ⇒ more than 400 members and partners who share best practices, help each other and collaborate via Commissions, Working Groups, meetings and events.

Regional network development ⇒ Beyond Paris, Rcube has offices in the Hauts de France (Lille, Bethunes...) and the Grand Ouest (Nantes, Angers, Bordeaux, Vannes, Brest, ...).

The French are buying more and more second-hand products.

All sectors are concerned, with an explosion in furniture, smartphones and clothing.

However, not all second-hand products are created equal. 

In particular, reconditioned products, i.e. products that have normally been checked by professionals to ensure they are in good working order, have very different levels of quality, safety and compliance with environmental standards.

In May 2020, the Direction Générale de la Concurrence, de la Consommation et de la Répression des Fraudes (DGCCRF) noted the inadequacy of the information provided to consumers by almost 50% of professionals, as well as breaches of the provisions of the French Consumer Code, particularly with regard to warranties, and the difficulty for consumers to know the actual condition of the appliance.

With this in mind, the RCUBE Federation has launched a project to create a quality label dedicated to reconditioned products.
