Abstract: 
The proliferation of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) poses a significant environmental challenge, driven by technological advancements and reduced production costs. In particular, mobile phones have gained tremendous popularity worldwide, but their short lifespan has significantly contributed to the exacerbated electronic waste crisis. In this paper, a study on the behavior of Greek consumers towards storage, replacing, repairing and second-hand purchasing of mobile phones is presented.
