Duration: 1.01.2025 – 31.12.2027

Coordinator: University of Ljubljana

Project partners: Gorenje gospodinjski aparati d.o.o. (SLO) / University of Graz (AUS) / ZEOS, d.o.o. (SLO) / Silicon Austria Labs GmbH (AUS) / COMPURITAS Gmb (AUS)

Value: € 1,515,869.3

• approved part of ERDF funds for the project: €1,212,695.43
• approved part of ERDF funds for ZEOS: €180.633,60

Purpose and objectives:

The project will establish an inter-regional partnership for the repair and reuse of electronics, which will strengthen the circular economy in the Austrian-Slovenian cross-border region. It will leverage the good practices of the Austrian repair network and Slovenian expertise in e-waste management for more efficient repair of electronic components and thus reuse of damaged devices.

ZEOS's role:

• connecting and educating stakeholders (consumers, utilities, shops, repairers, CPUs…) to ensure that equipment is properly collected and repaired
• providing devices/organizing transportation of collected equipment/components
• organizing social events where consumers will receive practical information on repairs and reuse

Results:

The project is underway.
