ECOSWEEE Project Officially Concludes: Advancing WEEE and Battery Collection for a Circular Economy

After 22 months of collaboration, research, and innovation, the ECOSWEEE project has officially come to a close. As an EU LIFE-funded initiative, ECOSWEEE has worked to develop and test incentives to improve small WEEE and battery collection, contributing to the broader objectives of the European Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan.

Throughout the project, ECOSWEEE:
✅ Conducted 20 pilot projects to test innovative collection strategies
✅ Engaged with key policymakers and stakeholders to inform future EU policies
✅ Delivered comprehensive findings and recommendations to enhance collection systems
✅ Hosted a Final Conference, Workshop, and Policy Briefing Session to ensure knowledge transfer and impact

We extend our sincere gratitude to our partners, industry stakeholders, policymakers, and the wider community for their contributions, engagement, and support in making this project a success.

While the project has come to an end, the work to enhance WEEE and battery collection must continue. The insights and solutions developed through ECOSWEEE serve as a foundation for future initiatives, policy developments, and industry best practices.
