Abstract
The growing popularity and sustainability of Eco-friendliness require considering the production of electronic equipment with efficient and strategic e-waste management planning. Recent studies proposed different models and techniques for e-waste management. Based on those, this paper introduces a novel approach to the sustainable management of e-waste. Proposed two different architectures; the first one is generic, where e-waste separation steps are highlighted, followed by the after-work management employing mycoremediation and phytoremediation, resulting in proper recycling, reusing, and reducing. The other is software, which focuses on equipment quality improvement for environmental sustainability. The approach is supported using a mathematical model of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to analyze the importance of e-waste based on customer requirements. Successful implementation of our proposed approach is further demonstrated using a graphical representation.
