“…También, los desechos electrónicos y eléctricos aumentaron debido a la constante novedad tecnológica, propiciando que las personas quieran adquirir nuevos dispositivos y luego desecharlos para reemplazarlos [24]. Es importante contar con lineamientos para diferenciar los dispositivos que se pueden reciclar de los que no [25]. Asimismo, se debe distinguir bien remanufactura y reciclaje, uno orientado a reparar productos y el otro se enfoca en recuperar ciertos elementos sin la necesidad de mantener su arquitectura anterior, siendo ambas acciones sostenibles [20,26].…”

“…Durante muchos años, maximizar el cuidado del medio ambiente e implementar políticas relacionadas al clima y salud, no eran consideradas prácticas necesarias, pero ahora son responsabilidad de cada empresa. Siendo así, los costos de acopio y tratamiento de residuos reciclados también se han incrementado [7,13,25]. La logística inversa es una oportunidad para devolver los recursos al círculo de utilidad empresarial, por ejemplo, en Hong Kong la logística inversa se aplica utilizando las 3R: reducir, reutilizar y reciclar [7].…”

This article identifies the main research trends on reverse logistics published in major indexed databases between 2013 and 2022. The state of the art defines the concepts of reverse logistics, the environmental conditions of the supply, and the main logistics business practices for this model. The methodology uses the systematic literature review technique, following the PRISMA model. The results demonstrate a special concern for standardized processes of reverse logistics to mitigate environmental damage, the effects of value creation, the level of efficiency, the general logistics costs of its implementation, as well as its impact on the transformation of the traditional supply chain. Future research should prioritize analyzing reverse logistics as a strategic factor to improve companies' image and profitability, and consider communication and transparency mechanisms to increase user loyalty.Keywords--Reverse logistics, environmental impact, business practices, supply chain.

“…They participate in the value chain of E-waste through the purchase, use, and storage of EEE and are also responsible for returning the E-waste to the collection points. Dieste et al (2018) acclaims the requirement for customers to consent to the return of used electronics/products to suppliers while also arranging the return of used products to importers/ manufacturers. UNDP (2016) advises governments on the responsibility of consumers to be obliged to separate E-waste from other waste to facilitate easy collection, treatment, and recycling.…”

The management of electrical and electronic waste (E-waste) requires a collaborative approach against unsustainable electronic waste management. This paper attempts to assess the role of E-waste actors in regard to E-waste management sustainability by evaluating their course of action. It proposes an Ewaste management conceptual framework based on key stakeholders and validates it with 346 top government employees in strategic positions across 10 Ugandan cities. The study utilized Partial Least Square (PLS) technique, a statistical analysis method well-known under Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), for data analysis. The calculated and considered model explains 48.5% of the variance in E-waste management sustainability. The results demonstrate that E-waste handlers role (β = 0.102, t = 2.004, p<0.05), financial institutions role (β = 0.268, t = 2.024, p < 0.05), local government role (β = 0.249, t = 3.612, p < 0.05), role of media (β = 0.316, t = 6.637, p < 0.05), and producer role (β = 0.144, t = 2.845, p<0.05) have significant influence on E-waste management sustainability. However, consumer role in Ewaste (β = -0.051, t = 0.838, p > 0.01) had an insignificant influence on E-waste management sustainability, although, its importance is discussed. The attention of policymakers and waste management planners is drawn towards strengthening the Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), fasttracking the implementation of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) model as an E-waste management model and initiation of E-waste Web-based applications are some of the policy recommendations in this paper. This will ensure sound E-waste management practices for better public health and environmental outcomes.

Estimating Recycling Return of Integrated Circuits Using Computer Vision on Printed Circuit Boards

et al. 2021

The technological growth of the last decades has brought many improvements in daily life, but also concerns on how to deal with electronic waste. Electrical and electronic equipment waste is the fastest-growing rate in the industrialized world. One of the elements of electronic equipment is the printed circuit board (PCB) and almost every electronic equipment has a PCB inside it. While waste PCB (WPCB) recycling may result in the recovery of potentially precious materials and the reuse of some components, it is a challenging task because its composition diversity requires a cautious pre-processing stage to achieve optimal recycling outcomes. Our research focused on proposing a method to evaluate the economic feasibility of recycling integrated circuits (ICs) from WPCB. The proposed method can help decide whether to dismantle a separate WPCB before the physical or mechanical recycling process and consists of estimating the IC area from a WPCB, calculating the IC’s weight using surface density, and estimating how much metal can be recovered by recycling those ICs. To estimate the IC area in a WPCB, we used a state-of-the-art object detection deep learning model (YOLO) and the PCB DSLR image dataset to detect the WPCB’s ICs. Regarding IC detection, the best result was obtained with the partitioned analysis of each image through a sliding window, thus creating new images of smaller dimensions, reaching 86.77% mAP. As a final result, we estimate that the Deep PCB Dataset has a total of 1079.18 g of ICs, from which it would be possible to recover at least 909.94 g of metals and silicon elements from all WPCBs’ ICs. Since there is a high variability in the compositions of WPCBs, it is possible to calculate the gross income for each WPCB and use it as a decision criterion for the type of pre-processing.
