Evaluating The Potential of E-Waste as Secondary Metals Resources in A Multi-Disciplinary Approach

The study systematically evaluates the potential of electronic waste as secondary metals resources, with a particular focus on Indonesia and Australia. The study consists of several stages, including data collection and estimation of potential e-waste generation in both countries, followed by the techno-economic analysis to assess the financial viability of e-waste recycling facilities. The study also explored thermodynamic processes, with a particular focus on the incorporation of hydrogen into the e-waste recycling process and conducted a carbon footprint assessment for potential reduction of carbon emissions.
