The Municipality of Apeldoorn is one of the partners in this project.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, more electrical and electronic appliances are thrown away. Through the E6 project, we aim to reduce the mountain of e-waste. That is why we are focusing on extending the lifespan of these appliances and encouraging people to opt for maintenance, reuse, repair and refurbishment.<\/p>\n<p>We work together with universities, research institutes, waste collection companies and other local authorities to develop and test tools. Our partners are based in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France and Ireland.

The campaign focuses on behavioural change and shows that with just a little effort (5 minutes a month), you can achieve a great result: extending the lifespan of your dishwasher and washing machine by 5 years. That\u2019s not only good for your wallet, but also for the planet.<\/p>\n<p>In early October 2026, some residents of Zuidbroek received a parcel in their letterboxes as part of this campaign. This forms part of the behavioural research, and the results will be used to further develop this campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of Apeldoorn is being introduced to \u2018Machinemomentje\u2019 via social media, adverts and (digital) outdoor advertising.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Machine Time\u2019 is a new item on the calendar.
