Abstract:
A procura por aparelhos eletroeletrônicos tem aumentado consideravelmente a demanda e, consequentemente, a sua produção.  As vantagens proporcionadas são enormes, porém nem todos percebem as consequências desta alta produção. O desenvolvimento tecnológico cria um paradoxo, uma vez que, ao mesmo tempo em que propicia uma melhor forma de viver e de produzir, gera ameaças para a sociedade. Mediante ao cenário exposto, apresenta-se como questão de pesquisa: Como a Legislação Educacional e a Literat

Abstract:
The issue of waste batteries as a specific type of waste poses a major challenge to the environment, mainly due to improper disposal practices among the local population. The aim of this study is to explore the local population's awareness of the environmental impact of waste batteries, which are often discarded with regular waste instead of being disposed of properly. Although 67 % of respondents express concern about the ecological consequences, 69.63 % of respondents still dispose of used batteries improperly and only 32 % feel sufficiently informed about the environmental risks.

Abstract:
This research study examines e-waste management methods and suggests sustainable solutions. Growing e-waste and its hazardous components demand robust management solutions to reduce environmental and health dangers. This report reviews the literature and analyses current processes to summarise e-waste management’s key issues. The article covers policy, regulation, collection and recycling infrastructure, technology, and public awareness. Policies and regulations shape e-waste management. EPR programs, recycling targets, and import/export laws are covered. These policies are assessed to promote

Abstract:
Electronic waste (e-waste) is a rapidly growing global problem, with Africa generating 2.9 million metric tons of e-waste in 2019. In Tanzania, Mwanza faces a significant amount of e-waste and poor management of e-waste collection and disposal. This study conducted a descriptive analysis of e-waste management practices among electronic repair vendors in Mwanza City, Tanzania. The objective was to describe their current e-waste management practices, identify challenges, and highlight areas for improvement.

bstract: Electronic waste management has been a problem for a quite long time. Referring to Government Regulation No. 27 of 2020, it is important to provide education on the management of electronic waste generated by households. Specific waste is classified as B3 waste which requires special management. This study focuses on the management of electronic waste generated by households in Malang City. The flow of waste from households was measured from the disposal, repair, or donation process using questionnaires and interviews. This study involved electronic waste collectors participating in t

Abstract:
Purpose To achieve proper waste management, the disposal of electronic waste (e-waste) is one suitable method. Most developing countries, including Malaysia, are facing lack of e-waste recycling facilities and low household participation. Using a survey method using a questionnaire, this study aims to examine the intention of Malaysian households to drop-off their mobile phones to the nearest collection boxes (n = 600).

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has been a significant concern for governments, ecologists, and the Ministry of the Environment. Studies show a growing increase in the generation of WEEE in Brazil and around the world. In a 2024 report by The Global E-Waste Monitor, Brazil was identified as the largest generator of WEEE in South America, ranking second in the Americas, only behind the United States. Given this scenario, sustainability practices and actions are necessary to minimize the incorrect disposal of WEEE. Considering the need to provide innovative tools to support the

Abstract:
Despite recent efforts to alleviate the electronic waste (e-waste) problem, the product recovery management programs have not reached their full potential. The incompetency of the current e-waste recovery system mostly originates from the collection phase, where the consumers often have the tendency to keep their used electronics in storage rather than returning them. This may be due to lack of awareness about e-waste collection sites or the inconvenience of current e-waste collection infrastructure. To facilitate the collection of unwanted products, ‘e-waste collection’ events have been intro
