The European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) is an initiative promoting the implementation of awareness-raising actions about sustainable resource and waste management during a single week. It encourages a wide range of audiences (public authorities, private companies, civil society as well as citizens themselves) to get involved.
The 17th edition of the EWWR will take place from 22 to 30 November 2025 and will focus on WEEE.The Improving the collection, treatment and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment at the end of their life can increase resource efficiency and recover significant amount of materials included in these items. Nevertheless, to strongly reduce the impact of EEE, the key actions should be done before the products reach the category of waste. The selection of this thematic focus for the 2025 edition of the EWWR wants to raise awareness on reduce, repair and reuse activities for electric and electronic equipment that can be implemented by all the different categories of stakeholders.
Please use #ewwr2025, #weee and #switchoffthewaste to spread the word on social media.
