Il Manifesto

We reuse Operators throughout Italy, gathered here to Torino on the occasion of the first States-General of Used, we affirm that our activities produce environmental value, social, economic and cultural, and that this value is a positive externality of general interest to society as a whole.

We are the operators and organisers of flea markets and fairs, and roads, social cooperatives, cooperatives of production work that social workers in shops and second hand junk shop, shops on behalf of third parties and of solidarity, and we recognize that our differences are composed in a dimension that has the dignity of the productive sector: the diamond of reuse.

Thanks to our daily work and invisible tens of thousands of tons of post-consumer goods are diverted from disposal.

Thanks to our commitment to tens of thousands of families are that support themselves. The reuse working in disadvantaged and honest entrepreneurs, migrants, Roma and pensioners, workers with low income and persons without income with little investment can trigger an honest business, professionals and amateurs of vintage goods and collectables.

Thanks to our capacity, the places where we have occasion to meet and exchange between people of language, culture and different economic conditions.

We are rooted in our territory and we live depending on the social circuit that we succeed in developing, acquiring, and gained, collecting or receiving the gift of second-hand goods, and redistribuendole people with low purchasing power or in love of infinite variety and product trasversalitá that only used can and can offer.

Our historical markets are a vital component of the identity of our city, and our business makes it alive and palpable memory of the past.

The field of used, which like no other is able to reconcile economic aspects with social ones, is one of the most effective responses to the crisis.
But today our activity, instead of being encouraged, is penalized and often forced to swamped by tax and authorization schemes tailored for other professionals: we are the first victims of the regulatory vacuum on our industry and the lack of Government attention.

Who among us is collection of bulky RU has difficulty authorization to select and put in huge volumes of goods circulation reusable, while the rest of the industry is hungry for goods and dreams of capturing assets with market value that are initiated at disposal ridiculously.

Among those working outdoors, there is someone who is registered as a professional and pays taxes and unsustainable contribution in proportion to their turnover and there is who is forced into illegal and temporary employment resulting therefrom. Among hobbyists, there are thousands of practitioners who aspire to become professionals, but are forced to constraints that frustrate expectations. We are always insecure compared to authorizations, the places and at the time of performance of our activities: at the mercy of subjective interpretations of "holes" standards by Government and public officials. unfairness

Who among us has a store, is to pay taxes which affect more turnovers than the new receiving in this way in return for environmental action, rather than a disincentive.

Those of us who collect used goods for sympathetic, often receives material support for their work and is also forced to the paradox of being forced to pay to dispose of what has not managed to donate or sell for charity.

We reuse Operators, starting today we will walk as a sector and as a chain, demanding new rules, capable of providing the correct devices of recognition for our work, and claiming that a system of incentives and facilities that make finally possible full expression of our productive capacity, along with all the benefits that our work contributes to the community. For the environment, for the man, for a more conscious world.
