Taking Stock of Industrial Ecology

Material fl ow analysis (MFA, also known as Material Flow Accounting) has become one of the basic tools in industrial ecology, since its pioneering development by Ayres. This chapter reviews progress in MFA with emphasis on the use of MFA to support waste management and recycling policy.Waste statistics are compiled in most developed and some developing countries, but the basis is insuffi ciently standardized so that care is needed in making comparisons between countries. This also applies to recycling fl ows, which are diffi cult to defi ne and quantify. Waste arising from demolition can be predicted by dynamic modeling which also predicts future resource demand, but the discrepancies between predicted and reported waste quantities can be large due to "missing" or "dissipated" stock. Metals represent an important and valuable component of waste; metals in endof-life vehicles and e-waste in particular need to be quantifi ed for their recycling and ecological and human health impact assessment. MFA has also been applied to international trade of secondhand products containing metals. MFA studies on phosphorus have revealed potential ways to increase recovery that go beyond recycling from obvious wastes.

“…This paper is used for education, government and non government organizations in Surabaya City to measure inventory obsolete electronic devices. Global estimates indicate that WEEE is mainly composed of household electronic equipment such as televisions, personal computers (PCs), refrigerators, cell phone and dispensers [6, [12][13][14]. The method of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is used to measure the generation of waste electrical and electronic equipment in the city of Surabaya.…”

Abstract:The global market of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) continues to grow exponentially over the last period. As a result, causing the life electrical and electronic equipment is becoming shorter. The main objective of this study is as a preliminary study that will provide information related to the quantity and types of electronic products in the people of Surabaya. This paper utilized a questionnaire adopted and modified from UNEP as a tool to collect data and information are distributed randomly in five residential regions in Surabaya, with 480 respondents interviewed. The results also showed that the total e-waste generation approximately 6209.218 kg/year, which everyone will generate e-waste around 3,234 kg/year. In addition, the estimated generation of e-waste in the city of Surabaya in 2025 is roughly 19,748,171.98 kg. Generally, the respondents do not dispose of used electronic equipment, however, given or sold to collectors of used goods. Thus, it is very difficult to find the e-waste at the end of the shelter. The amount of e-waste in Surabaya will increase due to the average life of products is one of the factors that influence the growth. In order to increase public awareness of electronic waste, need to enhance collaboration among stakeholders facilitated by the government.
