Provide your views and feedback on the final findings of the project!
You are kindly invited to comment on the final conclusions and recommendations of the ECOSWEEE Project.
Through the implementation of 20 pilots in various European countries, the project has been testing several methods and incentives to increase the collection rate of small WEEE and portable batteries in order to identify scalable models that can effectively increase collection rates, navigating the challenges presented by current practices and aiming to fill the existing gaps identified over two decades of WEEE and battery legislations. The outcomes of the project are expected to inform policymakers and contribute to the evaluation and development of relevant waste legislation.
We are now in the final stage of the project and have developed the final conclusions and recommendations derived from the implementation of the pilots. Before submitting them to the European Commission, we would like to offer a broad range of stakeholders the opportunity to share their views and provide feedback. You will find below all relevant information and tool needed to participate in the commenting process.
We hope you find the final conclusions and recommendations insightful and look forward to receiving your valuable feedback.
Thank you and best regards,
The ECOSWEEE consortium
