The document summarizes an environmental project called IDENTIS WEEE that aims to develop an innovative system for collecting, tracking, identifying, quantifying, and monitoring waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in Italy, Spain, and Romania. The project involves partners from waste management companies in each country and will test new containers and tools for collecting WEEE. It will also create a digital system for identifying users and classifying collected items to improve traceability. The project expects to increase the amount of separately collected WEEE by 120% in the involved regions by the end of the three-year initiative through these innovative solutions.

This document provides an inventory of existing methodologies and tools for energy and CO2 balancing that could be used or adapted for use by the RURENER rural community network project. It describes 15 different tools, including their purpose, inputs required, outputs provided, and how to access them. The tools vary in their level of analysis (sectoral vs transversal), data requirements, and output format (excel vs web-based). While most tools focus on CO2 emissions, they differ in their simplicity and ability to answer the main questions of interest to RURENER network members for energy planning and progress monitoring toward energy neutrality.
Enevo Oy is a Finnish company that developed Enevo ONe, a wireless sensor system that monitors waste container fill levels in real-time. This allows waste collection to be optimized, reducing collection costs by up to 50%. The system uses ultrasonic sensors and algorithms to accurately detect fill levels in various container types. It has been successfully piloted with a Finnish waste management company, reducing collections by 50% and saving €35,000. Enevo ONe is used in over 15 countries and their solution helps waste collectors improve efficiency and reduce emissions.

2. LIFE+ - IDENTIS WEEE
The Project - The LIFE+ Programme
Due to the high usage of electric and electronic devices, every year the amount of WEEE
(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) grows at a rate three times bigger than that of other
solid urban waste.
The Emilia Romagna region has been able to carry out the separate collection of more than
23.000 tons of WEEE during 2009 and 5,3 kg/inhabitant, distinguishing itself at national level by largely
overcoming the target of 4 kg/inhabitant.
Hera Group has done even better by separately collecting and starting to recycle more than
14.500 tons in 2010, reaching 5,7 kg/inhabitant, and confirming thus the quality of its service and the
attention dedicated to the issue.
The project “IDENTIS WEEE” (Identification DEterminatioN Traceability Integrated System for
WEEE) aims at developing, testing, and realizing an innovative, effective and integrated system for
collection, traceability, identification, quantitative assessment and monitoring of WEEE.
The “IDENTIS WEEE” project was proposed within category Environment Policy and
Governance of LIFE+ (2010).
This proposed solutions will be tested on the area served by Hera S.p.a as well as in Spain and
Romania, in the territories served by the project’s partners. This cooperation gives the project its
transnational character.

• Consorzio Ecolight – ITALY (associated beneficiary - representing in Italy the most
important mass market chains associated to Federdistribuzione, Aires, e.g. Coop, Conad,
Ikea, MediaWorld, Comet, ecc.);
• Consorzio Ecolum – SPAIN (associated beneficiary - Madrid);
• Consorzio Environ – ROMANIA (associated beneficiary – Budapest)
Co-financed by:

The Project - Innovation
The project consists of 14 Actions that have to be carried out in 3 years and a half (October 2011
- May 2015). IDENTIS WEEE will introduce innovative solutions for WEEE in the traditional waste
collection system. These include:
1. a new road container specifically designed for non-azardous WEEE collection and for specific
kinds of WEEE (cell phones, energy saving bulbs, etc.). The container will allow the identification
of the user and the monitoring of the service.
3. Innovative tools and containers for collection of WEEE to be located in Collection Centers, near
resellers and tecnical assistance centres. These containers will be equipped with monitoring
devices for the filling level.
5. A digital system for the identification of users, for determining the amount of waste delivered, the
identification of each item (producer, model etc.) for traceability.
