Design and Development of Open Source Based Interactive e-Waste Management System
Journal Title: International Journal of Innovative Research in Computer Science and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
e-Waste has become an issue of serious concern to environmentalists. e-Waste is a complex mixture of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, which consists of items of economic value. Therefore, it requires specialized segregation, collection, transportation, treatment, disposal and recycling. ‘e-Waste’ is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their useful life. e-Wastes are considered dangerous, as certain components of some electronic products contain materials that are hazardous, depending on their condition and density. The hazardous content of these materials pose a threat to human health and environment. Discarded computers, cell phones, televisions, batteries and other electronic materials if improperly disposed can leak out lead and other substances into soil and groundwater. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled in an environmental friendly manner so that they are less harmful to the ecosystem. It is a "reverse production" system that designs infrastructure to recover and reuse every material contained within e-Wastes metals such as lead, copper, aluminum, iron, silica , etc and non-metals such as rubber, sulfur, etc. This research work highlights the hazards of e-Wastes, the need for its appropriate management and options that can be implemented and it also assist in understanding, planning, designing and implementing e-Waste take-back schemes for use by cities or other localized areas or for use at a nation-wide level.
