Description: To create awareness of International E-Waste Day' 2023 key message, and encourage participation through recycling  - we are planning the following activities using both international and localised data and assets:

Paid and organic social media campaign using mix, to create awareness of invisible e-waste.
Free Public Collection Day events scheduled in the weeks leading up to, and after 14th October.
Asset and information sharing to create amplification across all collection points and sectors of the public:  local government, participating retailers, Member Producers and schools.

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 1^st and 2^nd 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

Description: Our plan for the e-waste day would be to get as many people as possible to bring back as many vape device's as possible to get them recycled.  To offer some prize for who brings back the most to our stores and really emphasise on disposable vapes

Description: This year, we plan to engage with local school children by sending out a colouring/activitiy sheet with relevant colouring, matching and word search activities, based around the theme of 'anything wtih a plug, battery or cable can be recycled' and 'invisible WEEE'.

We will have a range of prizes to give away and will also do a local press campaign and a social media campaign.

Description: We would like to create an infographic campaign stating why refurbished and recertified products are good to use and what Co2 emissions will be saved by using reused IT leading up to International Ewaste day 2023.

We work with a manufacturer who supplies us recertified & refurbished goods and we really want to leverage the upcoming International day of awareness to drive this messaging home,
