Beschreibung
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and/or Information Technology (IT) are the effective tools that have been employed in the field of education, research, administration and other ways for the betterment of the human life that brings revolution in the modern era. One of the major disadvantages of ICT and its devices is harmful substances including carbon dioxide (CO2) to the environment that are not eco-friendly. Software and hardware part of IT has touched most of the parts of social, technical, economic and natural environment. Exponentially increasing production of computer hardware has posed major challenges of proper disposal of the electronic waste (e-waste) produced by this industry. Recycling companies are the key stakeholders in managing e-wastes in developing countries. But, they dont have any proper system to handle those wastes. Therefore the objective of this research was to explore and investigate the current condition of electronic wastes recycling system in Sri Lanka and to study the problems faced by recycling companies in handling e-wastes as well as to develop a computerized system to solve e-waste recycling problems.
