Design and Development of E-Waste Monitoring, Segregation and Recycling System

Abstract

Electronic waste is increasing rapidly every year as the use of electronic devices grows. In Bangladesh, people are not that aware of the consequences of e-waste. This paper represents the design and implementation of e-waste detection, sorting, and segregation. The sorted e-waste goes through a segregation process so that it can be recycled. This paper also shows a digital e-waste collection system through a website. A conveyor is designed and implemented to detect electronic waste automatically and collect both e-waste and other waste. Following collection, the sorted waste will go through a shredding process in which the e-waste will be shredded to extract reusable materials from the waste. A website is also being developed to introduce a new way of doing e-waste collection and monitoring. Finally, a new method of e-waste management is designed and implemented that is compared with the typical method of waste management in Bangladesh.
