How to Get Stuff Back?

Abstract

In order to recycle or re-use products that contain Critical Raw Materials (CRMs), these products have to be collected from consumers and professional organizations (e.g. businesses) first. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is collected for economical, environmental, and public health and safety reasons. Lessons can be learned from the collection of WEEE, such as how to influence and stimulate consumers to collect WEEE separate from other waste, and how to stimulate and train companies in separating waste.
