The CWIT project
The Countering WEEE Illegal Trade (CWIT) project provided a set of recommendations to the European Commission to assist various stakeholders in countering the illegal trade of WEEE, also known as ‘e-waste’, within and from Europe.
Funded by the Framework Programme (FP7), this two-year security research project brought together a unique group of experienced professionals from the WEEE industry, enforcement agencies, international organisations, lawyers, academia and consultants specialised in supply chain security.
The project commenced in September 2013 and concluded in August 2015.
The consortium consisted of:
- Sustainable Cycles (SCYCLE), previously under the umbrella of the United Nations University (UNU), acting as scientific coordinator
Compliance & Risks Ltd.,
- Cross-border Research Association,
- INTERPOL (coordinator),
- United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI),
- WEEE Forum,
- Zanasi & Partners.
