About us

The CircularER Lab is a virtual lab managed by the Emilia-Romagna Region (RER) with the support of ART-ER and ENEA, the national agency for new technologies, energy and sustainable development.

Based upon an Agreement between RER and ENEA in which the EEE sector and in particular the management and disposal of WEEE is identified within the priority areas of collaboration, the activities foreseen concern the exchange of information, collaboration in the development of research and analytical activities as well as the joint organization of initiatives, events and information and awareness campaigns.

The objective of our virtual lab is to bring together different stakeholders and actors of the EEE supply chain for discussing new initiatives that can foster a correct collection and disposal of EEE and solutions that will enable their recycling and recovery.

As a policy maker, RER will help find possible fundings for new activities and projects developed by the private sectors, laboratories or research institutions. Dialogue between the research community, the private sector and the public administration will be fostered and will be essential to find sustainable business models for WEEE circular economy and improve them in the regional context.
