Cycle of panels & workshops IDÉES

Raising awareness of the impact of electronic waste is becoming increasingly urgent.

In its 2024 edition, the Global E-Waste Monitor predicts that 62 billion tonnes of e-waste will be produced by 2022 and 82 billion tonnes by 2030, of which only about 20% will be recycled.

The production of e-waste involves different actors and issues, which we want to address during the series of conferences and workshops planned in the coming months in Karibu. From a critical point of view, we want to analyze the production process, consumption, pollution of oceans and rivers, entry into the food chain, its relationship with plastic waste, but also the opportunities it offers , the circular economy and the role of citizen engagement with the environment.

The cycle is divided into the following panels and workshops
