Enhancing collection of small W/EEE and batteries: The proper management and disposal of small waste electrical and electronic equipment (W/EEE) as well as batteries has become an imperative task, prompting a pressing need for innovative solutions to enhance their collection processes. (Apr 2022-Jan 2025)
What is ECOSWEEE?
ECOSWEEE is a project funded by the European Union within the LIFE programme. It addresses the challenges of environmental pollution and health concerns related to e-waste
Why is ECOSWEEE important?
ECOSWEEE aims to test several methods and incentives to increase the collection rate of small WEEE and portable batteries, addressing challenges in the framework of the European Green Deal.
The project proposes to design and implement 10 new pilots in 8 MS to test the practicability, achievability, usefulness, and viability of different collection strategies and incentives. Strategies to be tested include deposit return, buyback, and other reward schemes, e.g. donation, postal services, other collection routes, involvement of online retail, financial aspects, and improvement of the collection network. Another 12 ongoing or planned initiatives carried out by producer responsibility organisations (PROs) will also provide direct input to the project. Results of the pilot implementation will be analysed on the basis of pre-established criteria and indicators to measure the impacts and effectiveness (success) of the actions implemented, define potential areas of improvement, and provide recommendations to policymakers at MS and EU levels.
