This paper discusses some developing procedures for the formulation of appropriate conditions
towards the development of social services for waste of electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE) reuse and recycling, by the inclusion of Roma and people with disabilities in this evolving
market. Application areas for the related project are the Hellenic regions of Thessaly and North
Aegean, which generally suffer from professional and social exclusion. The reduction of the
occupational desegregation of the two aforementioned target groups, in parallel with the efforts for
implementing related Hellenic and European legislation in the frame of sustainable WEEE
management are examined. Finally, the networking and the cooperation at local, regional and
central level between small enterprises – entrepreneurships and local authorities are examined so
that these social enterprises support to the development of the Hellenic alternative WEEE recycling
system.

Abstract:
This paper discusses some developing procedures for the formulation of appropriate conditions towards the development of social services for waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) reuse and recycling, by the inclusion of Roma and people with disabilities in this evolving market. Application areas for the related project are the Hellenic regions of Thessaly and North Aegean, which generally suffer from professional and social exclusion. The reduction of the occupational desegregation of the two aforementioned target groups, in parallel with the efforts for implementing related Hellenic and European legislation in the frame of sustainable WEEE management are examined. Finally, the networking and the cooperation at local, regional and central level between small enterprises – entrepreneurships and local authorities are examined so that these social enterprises support to the development of the Hellenic alternative WEEE recycling system.
