Join us to celebrate EucoLight’s 10th anniversary, combined with a lively discussion on 20 years of WEEE implementation and enforcement and the outlook on the future of WEEE.
Since its creation, EucoLight has embarked into constructive dialogue with relevant stakeholders to provide expertise in the field of management and treatment of lighting WEEE and to promote the positive role of Extended Producer Responsibility organisations on the environment and society. Over the past years, the landscape of lighting WEEE compliance and the circular economy has evolved significantly, with legislative updates, technological advancements, and a stronger focus on sustainability shaping our work.
