WEEEWaste 
Improving policies for waste management of electrical and electronic equipment

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. 
The final objective of WEEEWaste is to promote reuse, collection, recycling and other forms of recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment, supporting thus the achievement of the WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU.
Partners from 8 regions (Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, Spain, Romania, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia) will exchange practices in a discovery journey to modify their policies, focusing on:
- To improve the interregional coordination of municipalities and regions in order to fight more effectively against illegal shipment between areas and WEEE dumping.
- To introduce 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).
The issue addressed by the project is the necessity to implement European coordinated approaches for the management of waste from electrical, electronic equipment (WEEE).
The exchange of experience will take place regularly at the national and international level, involving project partners and stakeholders. Each partner creates its Action Plan for the support program which will be implemented and monitored in the Phase 2.
Project WEEEWaste is supported by the Interreg Europe program financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
