Overview
DiCE is an EU-funded project created to bring together key stakeholders to address challenges associated with growing use of digital healthcare products and increasing demand for raw materials. The project aims to address the complex and growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste) from digital health devices, which may pose biological or chemical contamination. The collaboration involves 20 organisations from nine countries representing manufacturing industry, research, and other sectors.
