WEEEWaste Project

The issue addressed by the project is the necessity to implement European coordinated approaches for the management of waste from electrical, electronic equipment (WEEE). WEEEWaste aims to implement better national, regional and local policies for management of WEEE, covering the main recommendations of the “Circular Electronics Initiative” from the EU Circular Economy AP. Partners from 10 regions (Czechia, Italy, Germany, Spain, Romania, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Netherlands & Albania) will exchange practices in a discovery journey to modify their policies, focusing on: - improving the interregional coordination of municipalities and regions in order to fight more effectively against illegal shipment between areas and WEEE dumping. - introducing a holistic approach to the WEEE management, designing and testing practices which introduce the full sustainable consumption approach defined by the EU Circular Economy Action Plan (refuse; rethink; reduce; reuse; repair; refurbish; remanufacture; repurpose; recycle; recover).
