Description: Recupel is in Belgium responsible for the collection and processing of discarded electrical appliances. In 2018, the NGO collected more than 117.000 tonnes of electro, or 10.3 kilos per inhabitant. This puts Recupel among the best in the world when it comes to collecting and recycling e-waste. Since 2001, Recupel has invested a lot of collection and awareness campaign towards the consumers. But companies also have a lot of old or broken electrical appliances stocked in their offices. To offer them an easy solution, Recupel will launch a new digital platform for their e-waste on 14 October. Additionally, Recupel will also launch a digital media and public relations campaign.

Media used: press, door-to-door, social media.
Two weeks before International E-Waste Day we will communicate about our possession study and organize a stunt to put the hoarding in the picture (emphasis will be on all electro, not only small appliances). Media used: press & social media.
The stunt will kick off our awareness campaign on radio and television (emphasis on all electrical appliances and also on reuse).
And we will end the campaign wave with the announcement of the collaboration with bpost, offering a solution to people who are hoarding small electrical appliances.

Description: APPLiA would like to create an informative reportage, in the format of a video, that aims to follow the life of an appliance since the moment it reaches its end of life and is ready to be disposed. While walking on the streets, indeed, it often happens to stumble upon abandoned appliances which will not reach a collection point and thus being recycled. Taking this evidence, together with some data on WEEE handling, as a starting point, APPLiA would like to conduct a vox-pop on the topic, leaving afterwards space to some interviews to experts while filming the process undertaken by an appliance once in a collection point. APPLiA will also contribute to the video shading light on the impact of lost e-waste for the environment and the home appliance industry. With the aim of raising people’s awareness on e-waste, the video will also show the correct steps that the appliance at its end of life should follow.

The social media campaign would also build up to a ‘special edition’ of APPLiA’s digital interviews, featuring Recupel’s CEO, on the impacts of e-waste on the environment and the key role played by consumers with this regard. All materials will be shared via the APPLiA social media channels and digital outlets.

Why does it matter? Our climate is changing. The report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirms that the next 10 years are critical to get us on track with the Paris goal. We can still win the race and the efficient, sustainable use of resources throughout the economy will contribute. Each of us can contribute in this mission and each of us has a role to play to get there. Therefore, Orgalim takes its e-waste to a collection point - take your e-waste to a collection point, too!

ICT tools (relying on QR codes) will be developed as the driver of the proposed eco-innovative services to take full advantage of the potential and synergies of two major revolutions of our time: the circular economy and the Industry 4.0.
For International E-Waste Day we will be highlighting some of the results of the project through a social media campaign that will encourage business and household consumers to consider how their use of electrical equipment might change in the coming years so that the environmental impact of such equipment can be significantly lowered.

We very much support the right to repair idea and we are convinced that every part of the chain has to take an active role to make circularity a reality for e-products. That's why we try to bring science closer to society. Which we also plan to do in the weekend of 23/10. This weekend will be full of activities to raise awareness in Mechelen about the shift we need to make to repair and about the concerns around e-waste.
