    Presentation of the results of a GPS investigation on the WEEE paths in Italy

    Description: ALTROCONSUMO – the main Italian Consumers organization – and ECODOM launched a few months ago an investigation to understand where the WEEE leaving the Italian homes end up. The investigation is certainly the most important made so far in our Country both for the number of WEEE equipped with a GPS tracking device and for the geographical coverage of the sample: it concerns more than 200 appliances – including washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers and freezers – that should reach a correct treatment plant, once they have been given the public collection center or the distributors by the citizens. The route of the WEEE is however tortuous, and goes through collection centers, sorting points, metal scrap dealers, flea markets … how many “obstacles” a WEEE encounters in its final path? Where do the WEEE disappear, and where do they cause serious risks of pollution on our territory? Come and see the results!

    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

    • 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.
