The LIFE RE-WEEE project organized two repair events “Μαθαίνω να επισκευάΖω" promoting the repair of EEE to the public, in Athens and Thessaloniki.
The repair events were held as following:
• 5-6/5/2018: 4th Recycling Festival, Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), Thessaloniki.
• 12-13/5/2018: 64th Flower Fair of Kifissia, Kifissia.
More than 200 visitors participated in the events. In total, 114 appliances were checked and 45 of which were repaired while 33 are repairable with the use of spare parts. The appliances that recognized as not repairable, could be collected at the special WEEE collection bins in order to be driven for recycling.
Moreover, visitors had the chance to be informed for the EEE exchange / donation platform Re(W)eee during the repair events. The Re(W)eee platform has been designed by the LIFE RE-WEEE project team to promote the prevention of WEEE production.
