PROJECT ACTIVITIES

"E-TRANSFORMER ON VISIT"

We made a multimedia vehicle with solar cells on the roof, the so-called E-transformer, which in its first version showed inside the exhibition the correct handling of e-waste.
We carried out campaigns with schools: the vehicle visited over 200 schools and made them aware of the correct handling of e-waste. In addition, the schools also carried out collection campaigns.
As part of this activity, we also held a competition in which we were looking for ideas to raise awareness in the field of e-waste and received over 1,000 products.
The vehicle has also visited several other traditional events in the country.

WEEE CONFERENCE

We held the conference of the WEEE forum and it was held in two parts. The first was professional and was attended by members of the WEEE Forum, while the second part was dedicated to the presentation of our project (we presented our vehicle, held art workshops and other awareness-raising activities).
