Public Campaign - Social media, School campaign or collection
Description: The WEEE4Future campaign, aims at engaging people to count, characterize, collect and contribute their e-waste in four target cities/regions, leveraging the EIT RawMaterials partner network. The target audience is school and university students (14-24 year olds), with a KPI of engaging with 7,000 households across the four cities. The project will initially run until the end of 2020, with launch taking place end of September.
The aim is to gamify the process of collecting e-waste through use of a website, allowing schools or groups to enter details on e-waste found in their homes. The project also gives access to educational content around the materials found in different electronics in order to raise awareness and increase understanding of e-waste issues and the importance of recycling; this will be structured around three modules:
Module 01
The E-Waste Dilemma
Module 02
The E-Waste Solution
Module 03
E-Recycling Benefits
Final disposal of hazardous and non recyclable materials
The target group is young, diverse and active. We will use social media to reach them ; we will roll out a communications campaign once the website is ready involving social media ads for generation Z, targeted ads to reach out to teachers and direct ads on instagram.

School campaign or collection
Description: Our first weee2tree project was started in O’Connell’s Primary School, Richmond St, Dublin 1 in June 2023. This project has been directly funded by Electronic Recycling as part of their commitment to weee2tree.
The project consists of converting four small sections in the schoolyard into biodiversity corners.
The first task was to prepare the soil for planting, which will take place in early winter, when the trees are dormant. To prepare the soil, children from 1st and 2nd Class were enthusiastically involved.
While the project develops, Brendan Palmer from Electronic Recycling will speak to the children on the impact of e-waste on the environment and importance of recycling it properly, especially the small stuff.
Pocket Forests will return to the school in early winter for the planting and the children will have another opportunity to learn more about biodiversity and be reminded again of the need to recycle small e-waste

Workshop
Description: I have pursued my PhD in Electronic waste management and is a Gold medalist from the University of Delhi. In addition to this, I have presented my research work at national and international forums and have a number of published articles in books, journals and magazines to my credit. I also worked with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Govt. of India as a Programme Fellow in Smart Cities Mission.
I had applied for EWAS Scientists – 2022 edition Program (https://www.scycle.info/applications-are-now-open-for-the-ewas-2022/) two months back which is a prestigious and one of its kind of exclusive program for E-waste Scientists and Scholars.
I am happy to share that based on the quality and importance of my research work, I was been selected to attend the above Program on the theme Managing valuable and hazardous materials in e-waste: the route to circularity’ organised by United Nations Institute for Training and Research. The training was held from 27th August – 3rd September 2022. The aim of the EWAS was to expose participants to diverse normative and positive perspectives about e-waste management and provide multiple teaching and learning methodologies. It also provided them with an opportunity to exchange knowledge and implement the same in their respective countries.
The topic is so close to my heart that I am doing all such efforts on my own to disseminate knowledge.

Description: Votechnik will run a social media campaign on the recovery of rare materials contained in small electronic devices. The campaign will focus on Indium, a rare material found as indium tin oxide in most devices that have an LCD screen, small and big – mobile phones, tablets, ipads etc, and not only in large LCD TVs and flat panel computer monitors. Due to the scarcity of Indium and supply chain dependencies to the main producer (China), it is important that all LCD display devices, big and small, are recycled correctly, so that LCD panels do not end up in landfill, allowing for processes to be developed for Indium recovery.
Votechnik is not only providing state-of-the-art large LCD panel processing and depollution equipment, Votechnik is also working with an international consortium to develop such Indium recovery processes. To keep in touch about these issues and to follow the progress Votechnik is making towards Indium recovery and all matters of LCD TV recycling, please follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter and sign up to our newsletter at votechnik.com.
