Key Highlights
Get the Lowdown on the European State of Play: Learn more about the challenges of capturing WEEE flows, the market, policies, and circular economy aspects of CRMs as well as the possibility of creating a value chain and transferring new technologies.
Meet the Industry: Join industry actors from the WEEE value chain such as collectors, manufacturers, and recyclers from Eastern- and Southern European countries. Discover the newest technologies for recovering Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) from WEEE (e-waste), for example, printed circuit boards and mobile phones!
Partner Networking Sessions: Engage in personalised networking sessions where our project partners will present and discuss the WEEE-NET9 solutions and recommendations tailored to meet industry needs. Reach out to local stakeholders and set-up 1-on-1 meetings with prospective investors online.
More About WEEE-NET9
The WEEE-NET9 project, running from September 2022 until December 2024, introduces an innovative WEEE recycling method, using advanced techniques that cover all steps of the extraction process: grinding, physical separation, chemical and bio-leaching methods.
Bringing together project partners and businesses within the WEEE value chain to explore the WEEE-NET9 novel solution, our stakeholder platform is aiming to foster strategic collaborations and investment opportunities in Eastern- and Southern European counties.
