Ateliere Fără Frontiere Association (AFF)

#15 Ateliere Fără Frontiere Association-pichi

AFF has projects in different areas, which promote social inclusion and the creation of jobs, while creating sustainable solutions. The projects are:

  • Educlick: recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment, such as computers, keyboards and screens, that are then donated to schools in disadvantaged areas in Romania
  • Remesh: upcycling advertising banners and meshes into new products and accessories
  • Bio&Co: production of seasonal organic vegetables and delivery in a short logistics chain

Country:

Romania

Target Group:

People with fewer opportunities, facing economic and social difficulties

Difficulty level:

Medium

Why?

By promoting the recycling of electronic equipment, AFF is creating social and economic benefits, as well as tackling the electronic waste problem (in the EU, less than 40% of this type of waste is recycled) . The Bio&Co project reduces the carbon footprint of food , by choosing local vegetables and implementing short distance logistics (the short distance allows fresh vegetables to be delivered on the same day of harvest).
