This school project focuses on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Our goal is to promote and implement a sustainable WEEE school service to improve disposal habits and safe waste sorting among students, staff, and parents. Thereby contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious school community.

The project will center on a whole school- information campaign designed to educate and promote action. In the school foyer, noticeboards will display key information detailing the negative environmental impact of improperly disposing of batteries and e-waste in landfills, specifically, the release of toxic substances (like lead and mercury) that contaminate soil and groundwater.

Conversely, the campaign will highlight the crucial importance of recycling electronic waste. Recycling minimizes the demand for, and the impact of, environmentally destructive mining operations for precious metals, conserving valuable natural resources. A core theme will be the importance of prolonging the lifetime of electronic products through repair, donation, and reuse, effectively participating in the circular economy.

As a practical, last-resort measure for end-of-life electronics, the school will be providing and clearly labeling specific Electronic and Battery Bins where the school community can safely deposit their WEEE. This collection service is designed to make responsible disposal accessible and simple for everyone.
