“…The result has indicated that a respondent's behaviour to recycle e-waste is positively correlated with the degree to which they are aware of the significance of recycling e-waste. The result was consistent with previous studies, including Safa'at et al (2019); Akhtar et al (2014); Roy (2016) who found that awareness is positively and significantly associated with consumer e-waste recycling behaviour. The findings strengthened the study of Echegaray and Hansstein (2016), who claimed that as consumer awareness of e-waste recycling increases, so will their participation rate in recycling.…”

Managing e-waste among consumers poses significant challenges for the authorities, as proper e-waste management is more prevalent in industrial sectors than in households. Consumers are left to manage their household e-waste in a disorganised manner either by throwing it in the trash or dumping it illegally. This study seeks to fill this gap by identifying the factors that influence consumer e-waste recycling behaviour. A quantitative approach was adopted for this study and a survey data was collected from 200 households through systematic sampling method. The results for Pearson correlation coefficient showed that awareness (r = 0.553, p = .000), availability of facilities (r = 0.260, p = .000) and perceived behavioural control (r = 0.341, p = .000) were significantly and positively associated with consumer e-waste recycling behaviour. The results for multiple linear regression showed that adjusted R 2 is 0.336 which indicated that the determinants were able to predict 33.6% of the consumer e-waste recycling behaviour. Awareness and perceived behavioural control were significant determinants for consumer e-waste recycling behaviour among households while the most influential factor is awareness. The findings of this study would able to help the relevant authorities to increase the awareness of consumers to participate in e-waste recycling through campaigns and educational activities.

“…Therefore, the smartphone becomes obsolete or reaches its end-of-use in a relatively short period. In an Indonesian society with mutual-cooperation culture, the most common practices in handling smartphones at their end-of-use are selling to the secondhand market, giving to family or friends, donating, reused after repairing [7]. As a result, very few smartphones were sent to waste disposals [8][9][10].…”

The increasing number of smartphone users in Indonesia, coupled with the short average usage time of smartphones, has posed a sustainability problem. Smartphone production requires natural resources including rare earth materials and energy, that need to be preserved due to their limited availability and depletion. Circular economy initiatives have become important in the last few decades, and one of them is extending product life by reusing discarded products. On the other hand, triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic, online learning has become an essential part of education. In Indonesia, marginalized communities or low-income societies have limitations in providing online learning tools such as desktop or laptop computers, including smartphones. Therefore, smartphone donation is considered a suitable initiative to help students who need a smartphone to join online learning while at the same time extending the useful life of a smartphone. Using decision tree techniques, we investigate the willingness to donate used smartphones for education in the Indonesian context. The results show that the respondents' willingness-to-donate was influenced by several considerations, which are performance, value (price), type, obsolescence of the used smartphone, and the donators’ age. The resulting parameters and predictions could enhance the effectiveness of the donation mechanism.

Electronic Waste Management in the Asia Pacific Region

The Asia-Pacific region, also referred to as APAC, describes more than 50 countries in East and South Asia, Southeast Asia and Oceania. In 2013 the total population of APAC stood at 4.3 billion, almost 60% of the world's population. APAC includes the two most populous countries, China and India. Economic growth has seen the region experience a steep growth in both the consumption of electrical and electronic products and in the generation of electronic waste (e-waste). The export of e-waste emerged as an international issue in the early 2000s, following the exposure of crude, unsophisticated e-waste recycling practices in many, particularly developing, countries, including countries in the APAC region. As a complex and relatively recent waste stream, countries worldwide, including countries in APAC, have been introducing specific legislation to enforce sound environmental treatment of e-waste. As yet, only a minority of states have national and regional e-waste legislation in force, effective management requires the active engagement of a diverse set of actors, often spanning national borders. Many APAC countries are now implementing or contemplating restrictions or bans on the importation of e-waste, an action that is likely to have far-ranging consequences for the global movement of e-waste (principally from developed to developing nations) that has hitherto been the mainstay of e-waste management.
