We would like to combine an institutional part (on 14th) together with a consumer one (on 15th) with WEEE collection. The overall idea is to spread the IEWD message across the board: among institutions and citizens to raise public awareness on the issues of WEEE, circular economy and recycling.
Moreover, on 15th, we would like to involve an influencer to engage young generation to bring small WEEE: kind of meet and greet during which it is possible to visit the exhibition, meet the influencer, take pictures with him and get a gadget if brought small WEEE.

Activities:
Public Campaign - Social media, School campaign or collection
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
- Definition
- Category and type
- Composition and mass balance
Module 02
The E-Waste Solution
- E-Waste management system
- E-Waste treatment process
Module 03
E-Recycling Benefits
- Separated materials
- New life for materials
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.

Members Photo Competition
Between now and the 6th September we have asked Members to take a look around their facilities, or local municipal collection sites or locality etc. to find good examples of old / unusual small WEEE.
The entries will be considered by the Board and the winners announced at our Members Meeting on 4th Oct. and the winning photos shared on our Social Media on the 14th Oct to celebrate the Int. E-WASTE event.
Our Members operate over 800 E-WASTE re-use and treatment facilities in twenty-two countries across the continent of Europe.

Students, who participated in the RCs organised within FORCE Project and are therefore already skilled, will share their experience with the younger students of the first two year classes.
They will also show to their mates a short video tutorial, realised within FORCE (with English subtitles), on how to replace a socket and how to fix a small mixer.

Awareness raising webinar and collection event
- A webinar (14th October 2020), open to the Merezzate District residents (615 dwellings) and to the community living nearby, aimed at describing how to properly manage e-waste and, more in general, how to correctly deal with domestic waste
- A dedicated e-waste collection event (in the next days) with a mobile recycling station for electrical and electronic waste. The collection event will take place in Merezzate District area and will be opened both for residents and people living in the adjoining neighbourhoods
The activity is promoted together with Erion (previously Ecodom and Remedia), in synergy with Inno-WEE Project, and AMSA.
Merezzate+ is cofinanced within Climate-KIC Smart Sustainable Districts programme.

In recent days, Futuredata has shared on social media examples of closed mines across Europe, reminding us that natural resources are never-ending.
On October 14, we’ll show that urban mines are different — they constantly regenerate through the WEEE produced by our cities.
The challenge is to recover these materials far more efficiently than we do today.
That’s why Futuredata has developed Ariadne, a Data-Driven Material Recovery System that connects electronics manufacturers and WEEE treatment plants, fostering collaboration for a truly circular and sustainable use of resources.

Webinar, Public Campaign - TV news
Together with Chiara Magrini, the PhD candidate I am supervising, we will take part in Ricicla Tech, a live-streamed talk on Ricicla.tv dedicated to innovation and sustainability in technology.
Our discussion will focus on our informal project “mobi” (microbial ore bioleaching), which tackles one of the most urgent environmental challenges of our time: electronic waste, the fastest growing waste stream globally, with 62 million tonnes generated in 2022 and only 22.3% formally recycled.
mobi explores biotechnologies as low impact methods for extracting critical metals from end of life smartphones, an emblematic symbol of overconsumption in consumer electronics. The project develops microbial processes where naturally occurring microorganisms ferment industrial and agro industrial effluents to produce organic acids that act as biolixiviants, natural reagents capable of solubilizing metals such as copper, gold, nickel, tin, and zinc, achieving extraction yields of around 25% without the use of harsh chemicals typical of hydrometallurgy.
Within mobi, waste is not the end but the beginning, a new resource and a new story where microorganisms become allies in transforming what we discard into value.
Open to the public and accessible online, the talk will invite the viewers to rethink the materials hidden inside our devices, the potential of microbes to unlock a truly circular future for technology, and above all to question what we truly consider waste
---
The project is carried out within a PhD in Environmental, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI) at the Polytechnic University of Turin, co-funded by the PNRR iEntrance project and developed in collaboration with the Center for Sustainable Future Technologies (CSFT@Polito) of the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT).
About
The WEEE Forum a.i.s.b.l. is an international association representing 49 producer responsibility organisations across the globe. Together with our members, we are at the forefront of turning the extended producer responsibility principle into an effective electronic waste management policy approach through our combined knowledge of the technical, business and operational aspects of collection, logistics, de-pollution, processing, preparing for reuse and reporting of e-waste. Our mission is to be the world’s foremost e-waste competence centre excelling in the implementation of the circularity principle.
