The #GreenWeek initiative has the institutional support of local entities, municipalities, mainly, to fulfill the purpose of the action through information stands on public roads.
The stands have environmental informants who encourage passers-by to deposit WEEE, mainly small electrical appliances, that they may have in their homes in the containers of the #GreenWeek information stands.
#GreenWeek has been in development since 2017 and, as of 2018, the ECOLEC Foundation undertakes to plant a tree, in a protected natural area, for each kilogram of WEEE collected during the initiative.
#GreenWeek es una iniciativa de Fundación ECOLEC para concienciar e informar a la ciudadanía sobre la necesidad de la correcta gestión medioambiental de los residuos de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos (RAEE).
La iniciativa #GreenWeek cuenta con el respaldo institucionales de las entidades locales, ayuntamientos, principalmente, para, a través de stands informativos en la vía pública cumplir con la finalidad de la acción.
Los stands cuentan con informadores medioambientales que animan a los transeúntes a depositar los RAEE, principalmente pequeños electrodomésticos, que puedan tener en sus hogares en los contenedores de los stands informativos de #GreenWeek.
#GreenWeek se lleva desarrollando desde 2017 y, a partir de 2018, Fundación ECOLEC adquiere el compromiso de plantar un árbol, en un espacio natural protegido, por cada kilogramo de RAEE recogido durante la iniciativa.

We will develop a video that will show images and the results of the last three editions from 2017 to 2020. The educative content used in former editions will be inserted in the video in order to show students the different activities of the campaign, as well as to raise awareness about the impact of not disposing WEEE appropriately and how they can manage it properly.
The video will be shared in social media networks and we will invite schools with whom we have worked and other collaborators to spread the word.

Awareness Objective: To inform citizens about the positive impacts generated by the correct management of mobile terminals.
Environmental Objective: The telephones deposited in the containers are classified into two groups (reuse or recycling). If the device can be reused, technologies will be used to ensure the traceability of the terminals as well as the erasure of data. For each mobile phone reused, 400 liters of water are saved, the emission of 30 kg of CO2 is avoided and the extraction and consumption of 40 kg of raw materials is avoided. The entity in charge of this work is USOdy.
Social Objective: The campaign collaborates with entities that provide work to people at risk of social exclusion (Andrómines and Trinijove Foundation).

The messages, which are especially focused on small power tools, were disseminated through three Youtube channels experts in electronics and DIY: Bricocrack, Rocha KRG y Domoeletrica. In addition, gift vouchers were raffled through these channels to be exchanged for products in any Leroy Merlin store.
The contest ended on June 14 and achieved great success with more than 100,000 views in the first week.
The campaign continues and has one main objective:
Citizen awareness: Inform citizens about the positive impacts generated by the repair of electrical appliances and the correct environmental treatment when the device cannot be repaired.

Webinar Proposal for International E-Waste Day 2024
In celebration of International E-Waste Day 2024, Circular Compliance would host an interactive webinar to educate and empower EEE producers. This event would focus on practical strategies for e-waste management, ensuring compliance with the WEEE Directive, and fostering a circular economy. Through this webinar, producers will learn how to effectively retrieve, recycle, and revive their electronic products, contributing to global sustainability efforts.
As well, participants will gain insights into regulatory compliance, innovative recycling strategies, and how to design products with their end-of-life in mind.
At the end of the Webinar, we would like to host an Interactive Q&A Session.
This webinar not only would support International E-Waste Day 2024’s motto but also emphasize the critical role of ecodesign in minimizing e-waste. It aims to equip EEE producers with the knowledge and tools to design products sustainably, manage compliance effectively, and contribute to the circular economy.

AREA OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Preparation for Reuse
The predominant production model in our society is a linear one — the classic “take, make, use, and throw away.” This system requires large amounts of energy and natural resources. However, the scarcity of some of these resources is already becoming evident, making it necessary to transition to a more circular production model, based on the principle of closing the loop, where the waste of some becomes a resource for others. This system also helps generate local employment.
In 2009, a Work Camp was organized in which young people from different countries came to help launch the first Preparation for Reuse Center promoted by COGERSA: the EkoCenter Emaús. Its goal is to bring citizens closer to the possibility of reusing items they no longer want, thus preventing them from ending up in landfills.
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.
