Abstract Managing electronic waste or e-waste in Jakarta Province, Indonesia, is essential to support sustainable development goals (SDGs). E-waste contains toxic materials and harmful the environment while having potential for a circular economy if appropriately managed. This study aims analyze management, formally originating from households aspects of collection mechanism, type e-waste, amou...

Abstract: Waste generated by health care activities includes a broad range of materials, from used needles and syringes to soiled dressings, body parts, diagnostic samples, medical devices and radioactive materials. As a result of poor practice and large volumes, only a very small percentage of medical waste is actually disposed of properly in final reception units while the rest is unaccounted...

Solid waste management has been known to play an important role in public health and the environmental status of developing countries. Waste assessment can help researchers and governors in management programs and devising alternative plans in order to improve public health and economical savings. In the present study, statistical estimations regarding waste generation and type of solid wastes ...

This research is on the survey of waste-bins and collection methodology in households of the Federal Capital City (FCC), Abuja, Nigeria. Solid waste management is a continually growing problem at global and local levels. Thousands of lives are lost every year to environmental-related diseases and cities have lost their aesthetic values to solid waste mismanagement; therefore, solid waste manage...

The fate of used electronic products (e-waste) is of increasing concern because of their toxicity and the growing volume of e-waste. Addressing these concerns requires developing the recycling infrastructure, but good estimates of the volume of e-waste stored by US households are still unavailable. In this context, we make two contributions based on a national random survey of 2136 US household...

In the recent past, household hazardous waste has become an issue to more and more communities. In an effort to control the pollution generated within a household, various methods have been set forth in col­ lecting and disposing of these wastes. Unfortunately, all too often the hazardous waste collection days are poorly attended, and the costs become prohibitive when measured against the amoun...

The profitability of electronic waste (e-waste) recovery operations is quite challenging due to various sources of uncertainties in the quantity, quality, and timing of returns originating from consumers’ behavior. The cloud-based remanufacturing concept, data collection, and information tracking technologies seem promising solutions toward the proper collection and recovery of product life cyc...
