On the 19th of June 2024, Czech Technical University in Prague (the Lead Partner of the Circular WEEEP and WEEEWaste projects) hosted the third Local Stakeholder Meeting with the key representatives of the private companies and the public institutions involved within the field of collection, handling, and processing of e-waste in the Czech Republic. Mr. Tobiáš, the project’s leader, presented the current situation of e-waste management within the project’s participating countries, including the Czech market. Practical examples of good practices collected by project partners were introduced and discussed with the participants. During the meeting, CTU discussed the developed approach of the Pilot Actions to be implemented within the Circular WEEEP project within project partners regions. The major part of the meeting was dedicated to discussing the current status and barriers in the market. Participants discussed barriers in the Czech Republic region in the field of e- waste and tried to find the best way to promote and unify the awareness campaign “How to increase the motivation of citizens to collect e-waste for recycling?” in the Czech Republic.
