“…The community and the government must participate in the decision making, management and supervision processes in the field of waste management, especially in the industrial area (Xue, 2013). The procedure for community participation in waste management can be done by considering the characteristics and social and cultural settings of each region.…”

This study aims to formulate strategy and model for managing the palm oil industry solid waste. The sample was taken by conducting purposive sampling; it included the community around the industry that represented the existing socio-culture, and some company employees. The data collection techniques were Interview, Observation, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The data analysis of the palm oil industry waste management policy strategy was carried out by using SWOT. Then, a community-based and eco-friendly palm oil industry waste management model was formulated. The results revealed that the community that processed the palm oil industry waste was internally weak, but it still had some opportunities. The recommended strategy is conservative. Community-based solid waste management requires the involvement and role of various parties such as government, private sector, the role of technology, researchers, and social media. The government can give its support through regulations and facilitation to improve the ability of human resources in mastering waste utilization technology. Meanwhile the private sector can be the catalyst to build brand image and brand awareness.

“…In this sub-phase, various methods can be used to achieve material separation. Based on the literature, an optimized mechanical separation process was developed [8] [23] [25]- [34]. Each of the initially produced material stream, which was reduced in size, would enter the mechanical separation processes in this sub-phase separately.…”

The amount of electronic waste generated globally is alarming especially that it is on the rise. The impact of the generated amounts is not only Environmental. The electronic waste sector is unregulated in most developing countries; this results in the informal sector being heavily involved in managing and handling it. Due to the lack of regulations, informal handlers are exposed to hazardous materials that affect both their health and health of the communities living in their proximity. Moreover, the informal sector involves illegal child and women labor under harsh conditions. In addition to the social impact, the lack of regulations leads to missing major economic opportunities associated with developing a recycling industry for the safe handling and material recovery from the generated e-waste volumes. Electronic waste may contain up to 60 different materials including precious and rare-earth metals with estimated equivalent economic value of 48 billion Euros. Egypt is one the countries which lack policies and regulations dedicated to e-waste, hence the Egyptian economy is missing the economic potential and job creation opportunities associated with developing the e-waste sector as well as facing major Environmental and health challenges due to the improper handling of the generated amounts. This paper briefly reviews the current situation of e-waste in Egypt. The paper then proposes an adapted guideline for the sustainable management of e-waste in Egypt. The guideline is based on the international regulations and guidelines especially those of countries similar to the Egyptian socioeconomic context. The produced guideline focuses on establishing a collection and recycling framework for e-waste in Egypt with EPR at its center. The guideline also establishes a financing system to help foster the recycling industry in Egypt while fulfilling the three main pillars of sustainability.

Exporting harm, scavenging value: transnational circuits of e‐waste between Japan, China and beyond

Alternately cherished as a valuable resource and reviled as toxic and/or worthless detritus, depending on one's cultural vantage, e-waste comprises the scratched, dented, tarnished flipside of the lucrative consumer electronics industry. This article focuses attention on flows of e-waste from Japan to East Asia, scrutinising channels of production, consumption, reuse and conversion. First, the authors interpret the rhetoric of recycling and sustainability mobilised by Japanese interests to facilitate Asian trade in hazardous wastes, creating what detractors say is a pernicious form of 'waste colonialism' . Next, the researchers scrutinise the discursively linked creation in Japan, since 2001, of a network of state-of-theart WEEE processing facilities, in particular Panasonic's flagship PETEC, which they studied in 2013. They then turn to the protean material flows and the makeshift configurations engendered by e-waste itselfnot only pollutant when scavenged but frequently lucrative and welcome in de-manufacturing hotspots in China -and analyse the circulation of scavenged 'resources' in the researchers' fieldsite in the world's most notorious e-waste processing node, in Guangdong Province, where the team conducted ethnographic fieldwork intermittently during 2012-13. China's grand initiative of converting to statecontrolled formal processing, with Panasonic's assistance, facilitates a cross-cultural comparison of tensions between formal and informal conversion against the backdrop of the flawed Basel Convention regime, relevant to a range of societies. The paper argues that a relatively 'neutral' ethnographic approach to e-waste furnishes significant insight into thorny issues surrounding reckonings of risk and value in varying contexts and responses from those actually immersed in the processing trade, yielding important policy perspective.
