What we achieve

 Promoting the transition to a circular and resource efficient economy!

Through eWAsTER, Mediterranean regions gain practical tools, strategies, and pathways to move from ideas to real action in preventing and managing e-waste. The project creates a shared foundation for long-term change, empowering local authorities and stakeholders to adopt sustainable solutions tailored to their territories.

🌍 A Common Mediterranean Methodology
A shared framework and self-assessment tool, developed to help regions quickly identify their e-waste challenges, evaluate their current practices, and design customized prevention strategies based on circular economy principles.

📍 8 Local Action Plans for Lasting Impact
Eight tailor-made, regionally endorsed roadmaps, providing municipalities and regional authorities with concrete actions and policy measures to strengthen e-waste prevention, reuse, repair, and sustainable management.

🚀 A Transfer Package for Scaling Up Solutions
A comprehensive upscaling toolkit, including implementation roadmaps, resource requirements, and a Transferability Matrix, enabling successful e-waste solutions to be replicated and adapted across Mediterranean territories.

eWAsTER transformes shared challenges into shared solutions — building stronger communities, smarter policies, and a more circular Mediterranean where electronic waste becomes a resource for the future.

CORE PROJECT DELIVERABLES

Methodology for designing Strategies/Action Plan for e-waste prevention and management

The transnational methodology provides a common framework, enabling Mediterranean regions to design customized e-waste prevention strategies immediately. It supports public authorities and stakeholders in identifying local challenges, assessing current practices, and developing effective measures based on circular economy principles, including prevention, reuse, repair, refurbishment, and recycling. The methodology promotes a coordinated transnational approach, helping regions prepare tailored Local Action Plans and implement innovative solutions to reduce e-waste generation and improve sustainable resource management.

The EWAsTER Methodology for designing Strategies and LAPs for e-waste prevention and management is updated with the Pilot Test’s results.
