This autumn, JYSK is awarding initiatives for the proper recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment and waste batteries.
ECOTIC and ECOTIC BAT, in partnership with JYSK Romania, start on September 1 an awareness project on the correct delivery of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and waste batteries and accumulators (DBA).
The campaign will take place in all JYSK stores in Romania between September 1 and December 31. Thus, JYSK customers who will hand over a number of 5/10 waste batteries and accumulators or 5/10 used electrical and electronic equipment will be rewarded on the spot with household items, batteries or toys.
The aim of the campaign is, on the one hand, to inform and make customers aware of the importance of separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment and waste batteries and accumulators and, on the other hand, to develop a responsible attitude towards waste, in particular compared to WEEE and DBAs.
Alex Bratu, Country Manager of JYSK Romania and Bulgaria: “JYSK is an international company with over 2800 stores, with a lot of suppliers that produce a wide range of household products. We try to minimize our impact on the environment, through responsible policies and the use of sustainable materials. Recycling is part of our efforts to act responsibly, and this fall we will try to raise awareness of the importance of recycling and facilitate the recycling of electronic products and batteries, both among our customers and employees.
"Waste electrical and electronic equipment or used batteries no longer serve their purpose in the household, so if you bring small WEEE, for example chargers, LED bulbs, lamps, electric toothbrushes, irons, receivers, cameras and so on but also batteries, accumulators or laptop batteries at any of the JYSK stores participating in the campaign, these will be replaced with new batteries, lint rollers, light bulbs, towels or toys ”says Diana Trifu, ECOTIC communications manager.
Romania, as an EU member country, has the obligation to reach a target of 45% collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) by 2020. In this regard, ECOTIC and ECOTIC BAT, together with producers, continues awareness efforts among the population.
