WEEE
• Linking supply and demand of secondary raw materials in electronic production and recycling (chain approach).
• The development of an adequate recycling infrastructure for WEEE as post-consumer waste and secondary raw materials from electronic producing industry.
• The development of a knowledge structure on Design for Recycling between the recyclers and the electronic producing industry

State of the art in WEEE recycling
Rewinoutcomes (1)
• Developing a system structure for a chain approach of EEE including collection, recycling, production, system enforcement, supervision and monitoring and applying tasks and responsibilities to different organisations and stakeholders
• implementation of an online Waste Tracking System (e-WTS)• training toolkits on e-WTS• guidelines for registering and using the e-WTS system for
producers, recyclers and authorities.
Rewinoutcomes (2)
• Case studies and manual for material flow analysis for electronic producers and recyclers
• Training toolkits Design for Recycling• Action plans developed by the selected SMEs of the electronics
industry • Secondary Materials Exchange Platform (SMEP) to link supply
and demand of secondary raw materials.
Rewinoutcomes (3)
• Adapted standard for collection and recycling of WEEE• Best practice examples for the use of secondary materials and
Design for Recycling.• Setting up a policy framework for the promotion of resource
efficiency and sustainable production• Build up a network for stakeholders in order to use the e-WTS
and SMEP for improving resource efficiency in production of electronic products and recycling of WEEE.
