The paper presents the virtual hub experimental model achievement consisting of an innovative tools series in order to facilitate innovation, knowledge transfer and waste recycling efficiency of electrical and electronic equipment. The Hub includes a tools set to increase recycling efficiency: the passport for electrical and electronic products recycling, the multi-criteria analysis method for the product, pointing relevant features for recycling, the implementation model of eco-innovative technologies at company level, the recyclability evaluation method based on idealism. It also includes an eco-innovation library, an eco-innovation and training laboratory, a Forum, as well as User Guides for each tool and a cost-benefit analysis guide for e-waste recycling. The obtained tools, in their form, are an absolute novelty in the field of WEEE recycling and they address a new way of thinking and a new philosophy about material recovery and recycling and resource economy.
