Xera Srl is an innovative IT company with a strong focus on sustainability, specializing in the rollout of new devices and the recovery of end-of-life technology. Committed to the circular economy, Xera prioritizes eco-sustainable practices, particularly in managing electronic waste (WEEE). With only 17% of e-waste properly recycled, the rest often ends up in illegal landfills, causing severe environmental and social harm, as seen in sites like Agbogbloshie, the world’s largest e-waste dump.
To address this global issue, Xera launched the WEEKO 2025 Agenda, a program aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to reduce electronic waste through advanced refurbishing and recycling. WEEKO promotes ethical e-waste management, combats illegal exports, and aims to increase the global legal recycling rate. Xera’s commitment has been recognized by Il Sole 24 Ore, ranking it among Italy’s top 10 sustainable companies, and in 2024, it received the EEPA Award as the only Italian company in the "Supporting the Sustainable Transition" category.
Beyond sustainability, Xera strives to create a positive social impact. WEEKO fosters inclusive job opportunities, employing individuals with disabilities in IT device refurbishment and donating equipment to underserved communities in Italy, Africa, and Asia. Key initiatives include digital literacy programs in Mombasa’s juvenile prison, women’s empowerment projects, and business training for young entrepreneurs. In Italy, WEEKO supports Erasmus+ educational programs and school awareness campaigns, promoting a culture of recycling and responsible consumption.
