A combination of incentives, as opposed to one single incentive, is more effective in collecting more end-of-use items. Incentives can stimulate participation but are never the sole success driver \u2013 infrastructure, demographics, and legislation have a strong impact too.<\/p>\n<p>The project identified the following constitutive elements for environmentally and economically sustainable outcomes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Accessible, visible, high-traffic collection points drive higher collection.<\/li>\n<li>Retailers emerged as critical facilitators due to their direct consumer touchpoints and bridge between them and producers and PROs. Strengthening their role is essential to collecting more small products and batteries.<\/li>\n<li>Repetition builds habits: repetitive, consistent campaigns are effective in fostering consumer loyalty and lasting behavioural change.<\/li>\n<li>The second hand market of repairers and refurbishers complements buy back strategies. The project recommends that these organisations report their activities and the quantities of devices they collect to inform product lifespans. Whilst buy-back strategies may not be suitable as long-term solutions for Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) that manage the collection, they highlight opportunities for the second-hand market to play a greater role.<\/li>\n<li>While Deposit Return Systems show potential as incentives for consumers to return products at end of use, the project concludes that they may not be the best fit for long-term strategies. Additional testing tailored to specific markets, products, and locations is needed to refine their viability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Two pilots highlighted the growing issue of e-vapes, addressing challenges such as low awareness, growing quantities consumed, inappropriate disposal, and fire risks from lithium batteries.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recycling-magazine.com\/2025\/01\/30\/ecosweee-project-unlocks-best-practices-for-small-e-waste-and-batteries-collection\/\">Recycling Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-651\/\">ECOSWEEE project unlocks best practices for small e-waste and batteries collection<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[835,17783,575,4065],"class_list":["post-137143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-battery","tag-ecosweee","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ewaste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137143\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
