As the largest WEEE joint compliance scheme in Slovenia, ZEOS organises more than 10,000 waste pickups each year. Thus, by joining ZEOS scheme, producers, retailers, and importers can easily and conveniently ensure the compliance with all legal obligations, while contributing to sustainable practices and supporting the circular economy in Slovenia.

In addition to their core business, ZEOS also actively participates in different EU-funded projects. These projects are mainly focused on raising awareness about proper e-waste handling, improving collection infrastructure, and promoting sustainable practices. One notable project is the “Life Turn to e-circular”, co-financed by the European Union and the Slovenian Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Energy (project ID: LIFE18 GIE/SI/000008).

The project seeks to transition from a linear to a circular economy, reducing e-waste and promoting sustainability practices in Slovenia. Among others, it includes activities such as:

• establishing a network of collection points for still-working appliances,
• raising awareness on circular economy and need for proper e-waste collection and treatment,
• facilitating sharing economy,
• changing lifestyle habits of consumers,
• encouraging reuse, repair, and maintenance.

To encourage repair and maintenance, ZEOS has produced 100 videos providing useful information on proper maintenance and simple repairs on different common household appliances. The videos were created under ZEOS’ LIFE project Turn to e-circular, to prolong the lifespan of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). Although the videos were initially intended for Slovenian public, all of them are now available with English subtitles thanks to YouTube’s own translation feature essentially enabling the widespread use of these videos.
