Electronic waste (e-waste) has become environmental issue in Indonesia. Several tons of e-waste was generated each year. Available landfills will not be sufficient to accommodate e-waste that people produce. Waste bank become one of many solutions to overcome this problem. Implementation of pilot project in waste bank is needed to see the prospects of e-waste collection in waste bank. Thus, the goal of this research is to design a value chain system for e-waste collection prospect in waste bank and system simulation as the foundation for implementing a pilot project. Simulations on 2 scenarios had been done to determine profitability of e-waste collections pilot project in waste bank. Based on simulation, it is known that there is profit generated from e-waste recycling process for 2 scenarios. Ranges of profit for 2 months are Rp. AbstrakSampah telah menjadi masalah fundamental lingkungan hidup di Indonesia. Sejumlah ton e-waste dihasilkan setiap tahunnya. Tempat Pembuangan Akhir (TPA) yang tersedia tidak akan cukup untuk mengakomodasi e-waste yang dihasilkan masyarakat. Bank sampah dapat menjadi salah satu dari banyak solusi untuk mengatasi masalah ini. Implementasi pilot project di bank sampah dibutuhkan untuk melihat prospek pengumpulan e-waste di bank sampah. Maka dari itu, tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk merancang sistem value chain terhadap prospek pengumpulan e-waste di bank sampah dan membuat simulasi sistem tersebut sebagai fondasi dalam melakukan pilot project. Simulasi pada 2 skenario dilakukan untuk menentukan keuntungan pelaksanaan pilot project di bank sampah. Berdasarkan simulasi, diketahui bahwa terdapat keuntungan yang dihasilkan dari proses daur ulang e-waste untuk 2 skenario. Range keuntungan untuk 2 bulan berkisar antara .047 untuk skenario 1 and Rp. 7.952.394 40.435.561 untuk skenario 2. Jika hanya komponen PCB yang dapat didaur ulang, keuntungan untuk 2 bulan masih dapat dihasilkan dalam kisaran Rp. 689.964 Rp. 6.398.486 untuk skenario 1 and Rp. 678.478 Rp. 6.387.000 untuk skenario 2. Maka, implementasi pilot project pengumpulan e-waste di bank sampah menguntungkan secara finansial.

“…Globally, more than 50 million tons of E-waste was discarded in 2009 [1]. A significant proportion of WEEE is constituted by Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) which represent about 8 % by weight of WEEE collected from small appliances [2] and 3 % of the mass of global WEEE [3]. In addition, the average distribution of these materials by weight is approximately 30 % of polymers (mainly epoxy and polyester), 30 % of refractory oxides (mainly silica, alumina, rare earth oxides), and 40 % of metals (copper, iron, tin, nickel, lead, alumina, gold, silver, etc.)…”

Physical separation process was widely applied for the separation of metallic component from Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) due to their advantages as friendly-environment, facilitated control, and low-cost. However, the efficiency of physical separation depends on a level of the liberation between the metallic and non-metallic components which is conducted by mechanical processing.In this study, the liberation of metals from computer PCBs was conducted in detail by mechanical processes including cutting and crushing. The obtained results demonstrate the distribution metallic and non-metallic component weighs as a function of particle sizes. The separation efficiency of metals was conducted by air separation using vacuum sorter equipment. The results showed that the comminution processes using hammer mill for reach the highest efficiency with 92 % recovery and 87 % grade of metallic components in the heavy fraction with particle size 1.0 -1.4 mm by air separation process.

Discarded electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is a rapidly growing waste stream. This has increased, in part, because advances in technology have contributed to shorter product lifetimes. As such, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has received increasing attention from policy makers. Previous research has revealed the large proportion of end-of-life consumer electronics disposed of through residual waste collections and destined for landfill disposal or incineration. This represents a missed opportunity for extending their lifetime by facilitating recovery for repair or reuse. This paper outlines current policy context, explores routes for end-of-life EEE in the UK and examines opportunities for product life extension through reuse. A series of semi-structured interviews were undertaken to determine if current collection system for end-of-life equipment in the UK adequately encourages increased repair and reuse in line with UK Government's waste reduction programme, or whether there is excessive focus on recycling. The findings are reported to discuss if UK policy framework is adequate to embed legislative requirements and improve current practices and whether the current system promotes awareness and understanding by householders sufficient to encourage behaviour change.
