Abstract

Every year, electronic company launches several new products into the market, boasting around their technological advancement in their new product. Though the new product exhibit a significant improvement in terms of technology advancement and user interface, this creates an abundant of unused and outdated devices in the environment as consumer opt to buy the latest tech. This current phenomenon, greatly boost the rate of disposal of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) which according to Sthiannopkao and Wing (2012), a 5 to 10% increase of e-waste is detected annually. However, many initiatives has been done be it by cooperate, government and non-government organization to help curb this rising new type of waste. For example recycling. But recycling alone is not enough thus a need to for other ways of improving the method. One way is through remanufacturing. Existing remanufacturing activity of e-waste is almost non-existent therefore the need for a framework of remanufacturing for the e-waste product. Thus the main objective of this project is to construct a framework for remanufacturing an electronic product waste at the disposal stage. This study is done to determine the parameters affecting recycling and remanufacturing of a product. In addition, this study also was conducted to get a better understanding of waste management especially remanufacturing process occur in the local company. Lastly, with the construction of the remanufacturing framework based from the information obtained from an observation conducted at a local company and literature findings Finally, the new remanufacturing framework was compare subjectively with other existing remanufacturing framework for an electronic product to assess its effectiveness and advantages it possess.
