Implementing a reverse logistics system for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) at the micro-level faces significant challenges. Addressing training and awareness gaps is crucial for effective WEEE management in local communities.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Supply Chain Management
- Sustainability Studies
Background:
- Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is rapidly increasing globally.
- Resource recovery from WEEE is vital due to its valuable material composition.
- Existing reverse logistics systems (RLS) often neglect micro-level implementation, focusing on urban centers.
Conclusions:
- Micro-level implementation of WEEE RLS requires specific attention to local conditions.
- Enhancing training and awareness is paramount for successful WEEE reverse logistics.
- The study offers a framework to assist local administrators in managing WEEE at the community level.
