The Death of the Local Repairer?
We’re pleased to announce that in a groundbreaking announcement, Defra officially gives support to “EEESafe and LocalitEEE”, giving us a crucial step towards advancing sustainable resource management in the circular economy. This follows the UK’s recent announcement to establish the world’s first UNECE-backed International Centre of Excellence on Sustainable Resource Management.
Partnering with Professor Peter Hopkinson, a circular economy expert at the University of Exeter Business School, our collaboration aims to drive innovation and sustainable practices. EEESafe is dedicated to local and global electrical and electronic equipment repair & safety. LocalitEEE promotes and supports local sustainable communities. Together they unite with Professor Hopkinson to contribute to the UNECE International Centre of Excellence’s goals.
Defra’s support signifies the government’s commitment to collaboration between academia, private sectors, and community initiatives. This endorsement actively encourages circular economy principles and innovative solutions to combat global resource depletion.
The UNECE Centre of Excellence is set to be a global hub for circular economy research, knowledge exchange, and policy development. With Professor Peter Hopkinson, EEESafe & LocalitEEE and Defra joining forces, this partnership is further poised to drive positive change, ushering in a new era of resource sustainability. Other partners engaged in the Programme are Exeter University, Swansea University, University College London (UCL), Brunel University and London British Geological Survey
As the UK leads in this initiative, we hope other nations will follow, collectively working towards a more sustainable and circular future, possibly utilising the EEESafe & LocalitEEE Community Blueprint.
