European Week for Waste Reduction Highlights Electronic Waste

EGF Drives Actions Across the Country

The European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) 2025 takes place between November 22nd and 30th, with a special focus on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), a rapidly growing stream with a strong environmental impact. The initiative also aims to promote the essential principles of reduction, reuse, and recycling, encouraging citizens, public and private entities to adopt more sustainable practices.
