International E-Waste Day 2025
October 14
ESA is proud to support International E-Waste Day
International E‑Waste Day—launched by the WEEE Forum in 2018—aims to raise awareness about e‑waste and encourage responsible management. Year after year, participation has grown, with this year being its 8th year!
This years theme is: Recycle your e-waste – it’s critical!
As the demand for smartphones, electric vehicles, solar panels, and other technology continues to surge, so does the need for the materials that make them work. This year, International E-Waste Day will spotlight Critical Raw Materials (CRMs), the elements that are mined in only a handful of countries and that are crucial to foster the green and digital transition (read more here about this year’s topic).
How to participate:
- Block 14 October 2025 in your calendar.
- Plan activities: they could be local e‑waste collections, educational webinars, conferences, study releases, social media or press campaigns – any action promoting responsible e-waste management is welcome!
- Register here once your plans are set: https://weee-forum.org/iewd-register/ (registered participants will receive campaign kits and be featured on the official IEWD website).
