| description | The growth of science and technology is to lead an increasing quantity of electrical and electronic equipment trash (E-waste); electronic products became important and necessary products in our daily life. Due to its quick volume increase and toxic nature, electronic waste has turned into an environmental problem. Ewaste treatment is a more troublesome task than handling electronic waste products that lacks a clear direction, which results in land filling, disposal, etc. E-waste contains several dangerous components that could harm the atmosphere and human health. This research attempt to the dismantling and separation of the e-waste components (mobile phone, laptop, desktop). In addition, calculate the life cycle GHG of e-waste. To evaluate the impact categories with the help of openLCA software. Then the Ecoinvent v3.6, cut off and ReCiPe 2016 Midpoint (H) indicators were used. The greenhouse is emission is mainly based on the transportation. Finally, this paper shows the financial value and the environmental effect of present disposal of e-waste. Under e-waste running most domestic e-waste kept at home because people don’t know where to discard. The present practice adds more greenhouse gas to the atmosphere because of the distance between the dismantling unit and the recycling unit. |
