Electronic waste generation, economic values, distribution map, and possible recycling system in Indonesia

Aulia Qisthi Mairizal et al.

Summary: This study estimated and projected the generation of e-waste in Indonesia, as well as the value of recoverable metals from 1996 to 2040. The results show an increase in e-waste generation in Indonesia, with potential economic values in billions of US dollars. The study also proposed a recycling system framework to integrate mobile/sub-station recycling facilities with existing large metallurgical facilities in Indonesia's archipelago context.

Estimation of E-waste at micro level for reverse logistics: A case of Delhi

Nitin Koshta et al.

Summary: This study presents a method for estimating e-waste at the micro-level using a real-life case of Delhi, India and an example of mobile phones. The results show an exponential increase in waste from obsolete mobile phones from 2004 to 2019, and predict a stable growth rate till 2030. Additionally, it is estimated that Delhi will discard approximately 858611 mobile phones in 2020, with the top 5 e-waste generating wards-villages producing a significant amount of obsolete mobile phones in the same year.
