Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Operations Management
  • Industrial Engineering

Background:

  • Global e-waste generation is rapidly increasing, posing significant management challenges, particularly for developing countries.
  • Existing e-waste supply chain networks (SCN) face numerous issues impacting the sustainability of processing plants.
  • Effective e-waste management is crucial for environmental sustainability and resource recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prioritize critical constructs within e-waste supply chain networks (SCN) to address management challenges.
  • To identify and analyze the key issues and challenges faced by e-waste processing plants from various stakeholder perspectives.
  • To propose a framework for a holistic e-waste management system in developing countries.

Main Methods:

  • Combines two multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) tools: Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD).
  • Utilizes the House of Quality (HOQ) to analyze stakeholder requirements and AHP to derive the degree of importance.
  • Prioritizes constructs identified from literature and validated through field studies and case studies in India and China.

Main Results:

  • Identifies formal collection, storage, semi-informal collection, and e-waste quality as major challenges for processing plants.
  • Reveals critical SCN issues impacting the efficiency and sustainability of e-waste management.
  • Provides a prioritized list of constructs crucial for improving e-waste processing.

Conclusions:

  • The integration of AHP and QFD offers a robust approach to addressing complex SCN issues in e-waste management.
  • Addressing the identified key issues can lead to a more holistic and sustainable e-waste management system.
  • The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders in developing countries to improve e-waste handling.
