About

We are building a consortium to apply for the ECIV Open Call 2026 under the stream “Electrical and Electronic Equipment Innovation and Waste”.

Cirkula is leading the initiative with a proposal to scale a proven circular model for televisions and electronics. The project focuses on:

  • Refurbishment and reuse infrastructure across regions.

  • Reverse logistics and real grading flows.

  • Digital traceability including Digital Product Passport (DPP).

  • Redistribution through both B2B and B2C channels.

**
We are seeking partners in the following areas:**

  • Technical/Digital: AI, classification, DPP, traceability.

  • WEEE: logistics, recycling, reuse and compliance.

  • Retail/E-commerce: stock holders, marketplaces.

  • Regional authorities or public bodies for pilot validation.

  • Circularity-focused NGOs or accelerators.

Pilot will be implemented in Spain with planned replication in 2–3 other European regions.

Let’s connect if your organisation aligns with reuse, WEEE innovation or circular electronics infrastructure.
