3. Descripción y objetivos del proyecto
Ensure “cradle-to-grave” traceability of complete
WEEE flow managed at ECOLEC by means of the
use of advanced ICT technologies (RFID, image
capturing, etc.).
Purpose
Reduce leaks from system
Increase volume of WEEE legally treated and recycled.
Increase the volume of materials recovered.
Ensure WEEE collected and managed is recycled
properly at plants using BATs i.e. WEEE-Labex (Life+)
Track incidences like scavenging, etc.
Facilitate enforcement and reporting
Duration: 36 months (Jul 2011 Jul 2014)
