The paper aims to highlight the most relevant elements that appear at the intersection of two concepts: the circular economy and electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), as they are reflected in the mainstream of scientific publications to date. This approach is possible through the use of a...

Our research objective is to investigate the circular economy practices implemented by manufacturers in the electric appliance sector. The research methodology was mixed, selecting relevant fragments from the nonfinancial reporting of a sample of entities in the European Union and following the...

In today's context, the circular economy is a model of sustainable economic development that is becoming particularly important for the electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) industry. From this perspective, the research in the article will be carried out for the 27 European Union Member...

Using a data sample from all 27 EU Member States from 2009-2020, the present study quantifies the factors that can lead to an increase in the collection rate of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). The results underline the fact that an increase in the quality of road...

Monitoring of Member States' compliance with quantitative targets for the collection of electrical and electronic waste, preparation for reuse, recycling, and recovery of such waste is carried out based on Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on waste...

Building a circular economy in Romania has raised several challenges, specifically referring to the management of electronic waste. Although Romania has made significant progress in the collection, recycling, and recovery of large waste, little attention has been paid to recycling small...

E-waste recycling and the better collection of e-waste are two of the most important strategies for the implementation of the circular economy and the reduce-reuse-recycle paradigm envisaged by the EU and UNDP. Since the rate of e-waste recycling is one of the most important indicators of the...

The present study, relying on the resource- and industry-based views and stakeholders, has developed a model that shows the role of technology adoption, ways to reduce waste to zero, uncertainty in the market and green economic incentives in promoting circular economy practices, and improvement...

The article presents the concept of circular behaviours as part of the implementation of the circular economy in the daily life of households. These behaviours are considered in relation to electrical and electronic products. The aim of this article is to analyse the relationship between the...
