PROJECT TO REUSE WASTE FROM ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (EEEW) VIA SOLIDARITÉ TECHNOLOGIQUE IN CAMEROUN

The project to recycle and reuse waste from electrical and electronic equipment (EEEW) developed by Solidarité Technologique has the main objective of supporting the integration of deprived youngsters and reducing the digital divide thanks to very low-cost professional training programmes in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The equipment recovered from companies is upgraded within the context of practical workshops and can be provided to trainees trained by Solidarité Technologique for their own small company creation needs. Equipment is also made available to schools and educational establishments selected by Solidarité Technologique.

With its success, Solidarité Technologique has been able to find the necessary funds (6 million euros), ensuring its development in the next 5 years. The goal is to reach 5000 tons of D3E treated per year, against 500 today.
