600 waste electrical and electronic equipment containers for 200 Slovenian schools

On Friday the 13th of July, ZEOS presented it's latest addition to the Life+ Slovenia WEEE campaign - E-transformer. A multimedia mobile caravan equipped with solar panels is actually a folding truck, equipped with the latest multimedia and lighting equipment, fully powered by its own solar power plant installed on the roof of the trailer. The latter was enabled and set up by the Slovenian solar company Gorenje Solar. The mobile caravan, which will tour around Slovenia in the coming school year, intends to visit 200 Slovenian schools with the mission of raising awareness about the importance of proper management of WEEE.

200 Slovenian schools are invited to participate with us in the organization of “ECO Day(s)”, dedicated to the management of waste at their school. With the help of experts on waste electrical and electronic equipment, air, energy and climate change, we have prepared teaching materials on the importance of proper waste management. The primary objective of ECO Day(s) is the motivation of youth to gather information on waste management and developments in waste electrical and electronic equipment in their local environment. Pupils and teachers will gain content, communication tools and encouragement in the form of lotteries and contests, to research their environment and surroundings creating content associated with the problem of handling waste electrical and electronic equipment.

At the same time ZEOS will install 600 permanent WEEE containers in participating schools for separate collection of small household appliances, batteries and energy saving lighting lamps and luminaries. Thus there shall be no doubt, where e-waste is collected.
