Abstract
In the transition to a more sustainable world, one of the activities to support the sustainable practices is to extend the product life cycle. Particularly, to reduce the rapid growth of the waste electric and electronic equipment (WEEE). Although WEEE contains hazardous elements, it also contains valuable ones which can be reuse if handled properly. Thus, the usage natural resources are maximized while no new raw materials are harvested resulting in the avoidance of further natural depletion. Organization focusing on extending the products’ life cycle can contribute to the transition to a circular economy. Wasgoed.com desires to contribute to this process by realizing a refurbish center, specializing in home appliances, in Leeuwarden (the Netherlands). This study aims to research the social, economic, and environmental value creation by realizing such initiatives. Additionally, the interest from all concerned stakeholders are being explored. The contribution of this study is to provide the organization and stakeholders in this case with evidence if the realization of a refurbish center is supported. More important, if so then what added value should it have?
