We are moving towards launching an accessible and engaging space to learn about electronic waste. Users of the Training Hub can work through interactive modules, quizzes, badges and practical resources. The materials will be available in English, French, Spanish, Greek and Estonian. 🌍

During our recent project meeting in Malta, project partners piloted the alpha version of the Hub and shared valuable feedback. The insights are now helping us improve the platform and make the learning experience even more useful and engaging. 💡

♻️ From five countries to one stage in Estonia! 🌍

The competition results are in! Five brilliant young people have been selected as national winners of the Oscar Youth Competition! 🏆
Each of them earned their spot with bold and creative ideas for tackling one of the planet's fastest-growing problems: electronic waste. This November, they will meet in Estonia, where they'll go head-to-head in the OSCAR Youth Competition Final, presenting their ideas and competing to become the overall winner.
This is what climate action looks like: young people turning ideas into impact.

👏 Join us to cheer them on and be part of the conversation at the Oscar Final Conference this November to
💡 hear the winning ideas
🤝 meet young participants and international project partners

We are generating ever more electrical and electronic equipment waste very quickly, and it’s becoming a serious problem!

What does the data say?
🚨 Europe generates the most e-waste in the world: 17.6 kg per person.
🚨 Europe has the highest collection and recycling rate (42.8% per person), but the trend is dropping.
🚨 Recycling rate of electrical and electronic waste is still the lowest among all waste streams in Europe.

Why should you care?
🔥 Toxic chemicals in e-waste (like mercury & lead) can cause brain damage and harm ecosystems.
🔥 E-waste is growing 5x faster than recycling efforts.

So, what can you do to flip this trend?
👉 Keep your phone for one more year and you can create a huge impact.
👉 Repair before replacing.
👉 Choose to buy refurbished.

Last week, our OSCAR project team and youth trainers all over Europe came together and visited a local recycling centre in Valladolid as part of the LTTA (Learning, Teaching, Training Activity). ♻️

Why use your local recycling centre?
• Safe handling of e-waste: batteries, light bulbs/ tubes, and other waste from electrical and electronic equipment are managed with proper treatment, preventing toxic leaks and pollution in air, water and soil.
• Better resource recycling: materials are separated correctly and storaged sercurecly, which boosts the recycling processes.
• Stop illegal dumping: using official facilities helps prevent landscape degradation and ecosystem contamination.

What we learned:
• In Valladolid, the demand for proper recycling is growing 10-15% every year.
• Millennials and Gen Z lead the way: your awareness is already higher. Keep spreading the word!
• Recycling centres are specialised facilities for domestic waste that needs special treatment. In Valladolid area there are six centres, typically open Mon-Sat, 9:00-19:00.

Your next steps:
1. Collect and sort: keep electronic waste separate at home.
2. Drop off responsibly at one of your local recycling centres.
3. Share this post to level up community recycling.

Let’s turn good habits into impact! 💪🌱

🌍 Exciting days in Valladolid!💡

This week, youth trainers from across Europe came together for the OSCAR Project LTTA (Learning, Teaching, Training Activity) to tackle e-waste, environmental challenges, and sustainable solutions. ♻️

The meeting featured innovative training resources, augmented reality case studies, country-specific e-waste status, policy factsheets and a visit to the local recycling centre. This youth trainer workshop in Valladolid provided experts with a platform to review and test the training materials developed so far, as well as explore ways to reach and motivate young people in the transition to e-waste sustainability within and beyond our partner countries.

We are looking forward to shaping a greener and more circular future together with you!🌱

🔌💡 What happens to your old tech?
Laptops, tablets, and phones are more than just gadgets — when they’re thrown away, they become part of one of the fastest-growing waste problems in the world: e-waste.
👨‍🏭 Manufacturers play a key role in changing this — by designing products that are repairable, recyclable, and responsibly made.
♻️ It’s time to demand tech that lasts!

E-waste contains toxic heavy metals 🧪 and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) ⚠️. To monitor these materials, scientists rely on powerful tools:

- X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) – A fast, non-destructive method to spot heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury directly in devices.

- Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) – The go-to technology for detecting POPs such as flame retardants, dioxins, and PCBs that can stay in the environment for decades.

- Sensor-based sorting – Modern recycling plants use smart sensors and AI 🤖 to separate valuable materials from hazardous ones, boosting recycling efficiency while protecting workers.

🌱 With OSCAR, youths can learn how technology and innovation can help us tackle e-waste responsibly — protecting both health and the planet.

🌱 From e-waste to eye-catching art: unleash your creativity! 🎨

Discarded electronics aren't just junk, they're a canvas for innovation. Across the globe, artists are transforming obsolete gadgets into stunning masterpieces, merging technology with artistry to promote sustainability.

👉Why embrace e-waste art?
• Environmental impact: upcycling reduces landfill waste and conserves resources by giving new life to old electronics.
• Creative expression: artists like Benjamin Von Wong craft intricate sculptures from circuit boards and wires, turning trash into thought-provoking installations. Check out more here: https://www.vonwong.com
• Community engagement: Initiatives like the OSCAR project empower youth to explore e-waste art, fostering creativity and environmental awareness.
