Abstract: 
This paper presents one of the core deliverable reports of the LIFE-REWEEE project, the “Mapping Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) reuse and WEEE preparing for reuse practices and initiatives in Greece”. The main goal of this report was – for the first time in Greece – the development of a reliable and updated baseline regarding the current conditions on (W)EEE reuse and preparing for reuse in Greece (i.e. practices and initiatives). The study evolved into two parallel axes: i) Collection, assessment and analysis of data from reliable sources, and ii) Investigation of the impact of economic crisis in Greece on WEEE generation.
