“electrifying misconceptions”
Where is the value?
Re-use:
Refurbished devices
Recycling:
Raw material
- Metals
- SPAM in your Gmail
What is e-waste NOT
What is e-waste

7. Actors in the ecosystem
E-waste collection goals set by EU: 65% by 2019, 85% by 2020. Actual collection rate is 34%
Municipality
- No quick decisions making.
- Complex bureaucratic
organized.
- Not effectively contributing to
a circular economy
Citizens
- Have e-waste, lack of knowledge
- 50% is aware of proper
disposals
- Not in their default habit to
recycle.
Up/re/down-cyclers → retailers
- buy certified devices from
channels
- Data wiping is labour intensive
and expensive (7,95 / hard disk
- consumers models are low
quality (4 year life span)
- no warranty in used electronics
8. Value proposition
Create a reliable and transparent platform for citizens to make visible
what happens with their E-waste and reward them based on their actions.
We don’t just recycle e-waste. We provide price competition to
the auction market
Efficient enforcement of law, skipping intermediate
regulations.
9. Current initiatives
Value
Created
Repairment brings high value but it is often expensive for the users,
data protection is not important
WeCycle coordinates pick up from stores and milieustraten and sell
electronics to a network of recyclers
E-waste in the house 66% of electronic waste is not collected in the
NL
(11% in the bin)
