The main aim of the EECONE project is to reduce e-waste on a European scale. The environmental impact arising from e-waste can thus be reduced by working in three principal areas: 1) Increase service lifetime of electronic products by application of ecodesign guidelines for increasing their reliability and their repair rate, thereby reducing the volume of e-waste. 2) Reduction and replacement of materials to decrease the impact of e-waste. 3) Reduction and replacement of materials in electronic components and systems to decrease the impact of e-waste. EECONE is a major opportunity to create a European ECOsystem for greeN Electronics and to position Europe as a role model for low environmental impact electronics.
