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!

Description: Within H2020 FORCE Project (www.ce-force), a Circular Economy project on PLASTIC, WEEE, ORGANIC WASTE, WOOD AND WOOD WASTE , involving the cities of Copenhagen, Hamburg, Lisbon and Genova, AMIU Genova SpA (local waste management company in the city of Genova - ITALY) together with Opera Don Bosco-CNOS/FAP school will organise a communication activity involving students of the Electronic and Electricity courses.

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.

 

Description: Legambiente Emilia-Romagna, in collaboration with Ecodom and InnoWeee project, organizes on the 14th October a public event to raise awareness on the environmental impacts of E-Waste.

Good practices will be discussed on how to reduce, reuse and recycle electronic devices. After a brief series of lectures on the theme, a series of workshops will take place in which the audience can bring their own broken devices and learn how to repair them.
