Abstract Nowadays waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) generation is increasing due to the increase in the number of users and the development of electronic products. In Indonesia, there are no specific regulations about WEEE even though it is identified as hazardous and toxic waste. This study aims to predict the WEEE generation from the most used and replaced electronic products by citizens of Bandung City. The data is collected by surveying 400 families in Bandung City. Based on the survey results, there are three types of electronic products that are most used and replaced by citizens of Bandung City, which are mobile phones, laptops and televisions. The Delay Model is modified by replacing the lifespan variable with end-of-life to project the mobile phones, laptops and televisions waste generation in Bandung City. The purpose of this modification is to adjust the pattern of electronic products used in developing countries. The projection results state that Bandung City will generate 0.61 tons/day of mobile phones, 8.66 tons/day of laptops and 3.16 tons/day of televisions at the end of 2020. Based on the results of the projection, WEEE management and recycling is important which can reduce WEEE disposal and increase the economic value of WEEE.

Abstract The rapid development of technology has spurred competition among electronics manufacturers to innovate. The resulting electronic waste (e-waste) has potential hazards due to its composition. The prediction of e-waste generation is carried out using the Delay Model method, modified by applying end-of-life (EoL) value to the lifespan to adjust Indonesian society’s treatment of e-waste. The calculations show that the prediction of hazardous material from Indonesia’s household sector will reach 16,653.73 tonnes in 2040, while the non-household sector comes to 25,391.72 tonnes in 2040. The most e-product produced from the household sector is TV with 3,763.74 tonnes, while the non-household sector is also dominated by TV with 23,380.52 tonnes in 2040. The composition of materials obtained from e-waste, in general, is 1% hazardous materials, 31% ferrous metal, then 27% glass and plastic materials, 6% non-ferrous metals, and 8% other materials. Thus, the total generation of e-waste will reach 4,204,545.43 tonnes, and the hazardous components in e-products only reach 42,045.45 tonnes or about 1% of the total e-product generation. In the future, it is necessary to integrate and formalize the handling of e-waste from the informal sector, which has been developing into the formal sector. This research is expected to be used as a reference by the government to make regulations, plans, and strategies related to hazardous waste management to prevent harm to the environment and human health.

The data on the dynamics of e-waste generation in different countries are presented and modern methods of handling this type of waste are analyzed. The characteristics of the component composition of electronic waste are given. The problem of neutralization and disposal of mobile phone screens has been studied. An analysis of possible methods for extracting metals from electronic waste has been carried out, which has shown the promise of a biotechnological method based on the ability of the biomass of microscopic algae to selectively, under certain conditions, sorbs metals. Based on the analysis of the research results of domestic and foreign scientists presented in the literature the process of extracting indium from the screens of mobile phones using microscopic algae was simulated under laboratory conditions. When justifying the choice of indium as an extractable metal, two criteria were used: limited distribution in the earth's crust and the difficulty of obtaining from natural ores, as well as demand in various industries. In experimental studies, the parameters of the effective extraction of indium by the biosorption method have been determined.

The Impact

E-waste is the impact resulting from the massive use of electronic goods in the information technology era. The increasing use of electronic goods resulted in increasing electronic waste. This study aims to calculate the potential of generation and characteristics of e-waste, processing methods and potential economic value of electronic e-waste recycling in Sungguminasa City, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The study was conducted in 14 sub-districts in Somba Opu district, the largest population district in Sungguminasa City with population of 157,448 people or about 1.67% of the population of South Sulawesi Province. The research method is conducted by analyzing the data obtained through: survey, observation and interview to the head of household in Somba Opu District, household divided in 3 groups by monthly income level (high, medium and low) and obtained: e-waste characteristics, waste generation potential, processing method and potential economic value of recycled e- waste. The analysis results of 37 types of electronic goods, 3 types of electronic goods with the largest percentage are: televisions, refrigerators, personal computers, namely: 26%, and 17%, 14% or respectively: 150, 98, and 80 units/year. The potential of e-waste generation in Somba Opu District: 801,8 ton/year. The traditional method of e-waste processing is “converted function” by 55% and then “repaired” by 19% and “stored” by 17%, while the least applied e-waste method is “discarded” with a percentage of 9%. The results of the economic potential analysis of e-waste recycling of the 3 largest electronic goods are: refrigerator US$ 32,439, computer US$ 45,994 and television US$ 76,254 (US$ 1,00 = IDR 14,000)

Knowledge And Attitude

Electronic devices have become essential to our existence leading to an increase in the rate of electronic waste (E-waste) generation and  environmental degradation. This study evaluates the knowledge, attitude and prevailing practices of e-waste workers at the Owode-Orinin scrap market in Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos Nigeria using 241 Questionnaires to obtain data which were analysed by Pearson correlation  coefficient. The knowledge of the respondents was limited to the financial and economic value attached to E-waste meanwhile the environmental and health impact of their occupation were not known, neglected or considered unimportant. A positive relationship was established between education, knowledge and attitude of the respondents. This indicates that increase in education brings about increase in the knowledge and results in positive attitude of the E-waste workers. The strong social tie found to exist among the E-waste workers can be leveraged upon for the transmission of the knowledge about the environmental health impact of their occupation so as to conduct their activities in the safest manner possible.
