Description

The aim of the Project is to promote standards to the enforcement of European regulation about Waste Electrical and Electronic equipment (WEEE) in order to contribute to a high level of WEEE classification.

EnergyLab's Tasks

EnergyLab performed the following tasks:

  • Life-cycle analysis (LCA) of the process (“gate to gate”) and of the use service of office equipment during a fixed period (“cradle to grave”).
  • Verification of results by a web tool in which different demonstrators will upload registered data obtained in the real process.
  • Updating of parameters of the theoretical model with real data to improve its representativeness.
