  • Call for experts – WEEE (e-waste)

    ECOS is looking for experts in the field of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) to represent and defend environmental interests in the development of standards and related policies.

  • Joint statement: Environmental organisations call for a swift revision of the WEEE Directive to address Europe’s electronic waste crisis

    The number of electronic devices on the EU market nearly doubled, soaring by over 98% between 2013 and 2022, new Eurostat data reveals. This sharp increase is driving an e-waste crisis. In response, a broad coalition of environmental organisations is urging the EU to take bold and immediate action to mitigate the environmental damage caused by Europe’s growing dependence on electronics.
