In Cotonou, Quadloop and Ignite Energy Access collaborated on environmental-management review activities relating to selected end-of-life electronic equipment.
Cotonou, BeninAugust 2026Circular-economy and renewable-energy stakeholders
The collaboration focused on how selected equipment and components could be assessed before any possible circular-energy application is considered.
Background
End-of-life electronic equipment needs careful assessment before components can be considered for any further use.
The challenge
Partners need a clear basis for identifying which components may be suitable for technical assessment and which require another management route.
