The Time after Time E-Waste Fund is a £500,000 Project Grants programme designed to support initiatives that tackle the e-waste challenge in the UK, with a focus on:

o Education and awareness raising of new or existing solutions.
o increasing recycling rates of small Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), such as campaigns focusing on specific items, trialling new recycling schemes and making it easier for people to recycle.
o Preventing e-waste by extending the life of small electrical items, such as encouraging or initiating repair, refreshing and encouraging people to pass on or purchase preloved electricals.
o Successfully engaging young people aged 16-24 on circular economy solutions relating to e-waste, and
o Research that will support a reduction in e-waste and extend understanding of how to solve this problem.
