Sustainable transportation system for electronic waste recycling from a social perspective

扫码查看
E-waste is currently identified as the world's fastest-growing waste stream. The key driver behind this trend is the rapid technological advancement and socio-economic development. When hazardous chemicals are not properly handled, e-waste may harm ecosystems and human well-being. Direct effects include releases of acids, heavy metal toxicity, carcinogens and indirect effects such as heavy metal bio-enlargement, acids enlargement and toxicity problems. In this study, a specific type of system is utilised to collect and transport the different types of hazardous e-waste using sustainable transportation with the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). The proposed method of DEMATEL is utilised to identify the relationship and the degree of impact among determined e-waste recycling barriers. The experimental results suggest input material, lack of funds and most affecting factors that are required to be addressed for the improvement of e-waste recycling infrastructure.
