1 Present status of E-waste management in Australia and potential ways for improvement integrating the concept of reverse logistics, material flow analysis (MFA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) PRESENTED BY MD TASBIRUL ISLAM PH.D. STUDENT, SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING SUPERVISOR: DR. NAZMUL HUDA 18 July 2018 Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) / Electronic waste (E-waste) E-waste is a term used to cover items of all types of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and its part that have been discarded by the owner as waste without intention of re-use [1].

2 Global E-waste generation Source: Baldé, C.P., Forti V., Gray, V., Kuehr, R., Stegmann,P. : The Global E-waste Monitor 2017, United Nations University (UNU), International Telecommunication Union (ITU) & International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), Bonn/Geneva/Vienna. SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 3 Why E-waste is an important waste stream? It contains both toxic elements such as mercury, cadmium, chromium, lead, and polychlorinated biphenyl etc. E-waste is also considered as a valuable source of secondary raw materials, like Gold, Copper, silver, Platinum, Palladium etc. SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 4 2
3 Text-mining based bibliometric analysis of e-waste research field Total 2463 documents were analysed from Web of Science database. Citenetexplorer, HistCite TM, R-bibliometric package and VosViewer are the key analysis tools used in this research.

Per capita E-waste generation reached 20.1 kg in Australia, and in USA 22.1 kg. Australia is one of the highest per capita E-waste generating nations [3]. Source: Where next on e-waste in Australia?

7 Charateristics of E-waste management system In Australia At present, only waste computer and televisions are considered as e-waste under the National Computer and Television Recycling Scheme (NTCRS). Industry-funded system, meaning manufacturers and importers fund the collection and recycling operation. There are four co-regulatory agreements (CRAs) that administer the system. Department of Environment and Department of Immigration and border protection are the two government bodies that ensure compliance of the scheme. There are 32 recyclers actively participating the system. There are 1800 collection points. Approximately, one collection point for 12,777 residents. Heavily dependent on first stage recycling - manual dismantling and low technology material recovery process for aluminium, copper and steel inside Australia. Major portion of the valuable materials goes for overseas recycling (e.g. mainly to China, Japan and South Korea) Note that E-waste management system in Australia is a combined approach adapted in Switzerland, Japan and the EU WEEE Directives. SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 13 Roles and responsibilities in NTCRS SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 14 7
8 Challenges The National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme (NTCRS) under the Australian Government s Product Stewardship Act 2011 recognizes computer and television as the two important products. Q: What about other products, i.e. small and large household items and others? Q: Does current management system consider lack of data availability for future planning and development? An estimated total of 122 kilotons (kt) of televisions and computers reached end-of-life in Australia in , out of which around 43 kt were recycled (35%) under this scheme. Q: Where does the rest of the amount of e-waste goes? Q: What other alternative approaches can be initiated and by which technology? Australian government aims to increase the rate of recycling of televisions and computers from an estimated 17% in to 80% by Q: Are the actors (i.e. customers, local councils, recyclers) in the entire reverse supply chain active to achieve such target? The Australian Government reports that, to date, over 1,800 collection services have been made available to consumers. Q: Are the locations of the collection centres and/or transfer station optimized? SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 15 Major concerned areas and research needs Sustainable E-waste management in Australia Are the locations of the collection centres and/or transfer station optimized? Reverse logistics Flow of materials and management alternatives What about other products, i.e. small and large household items? Where does the rest of the amount of e-waste goes? What other alternative approaches can be initiated and by which technology? Are the actors (i.e. customer, local government councils, recyclers) in the entire reverse supply chain active to achieve such target? Actor analysis Product inventory management system Does current management system consider lack of data availability for future planning and development?

9 Reverse logistics Charity bins Customers Local government Clean-up collection Event collection Permanent drop-off points Problem waste collection Dismantling and sorting Retailer take back Recyclers System boundary: 38 Sydney metro councils Main methodology: Simulation modelling and Mixed integer-linear programming Target objective: optimized location for transfer station and dismantling and sorting and/or recycling facilities with minimum cost SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 17 Actor analysis Customer E-waste awareness survey is currently running. Total 223 responses received. Example: typical lifespan of the E-waste items. Council level data collection in E-waste generation and barriers in E-waste management is currently going on. SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 18 9
10 Flow of materials and management alternatives Integrated Material flow analysis (MFA) and Life-cycle assessment (LCA) model will be developed to understand the flow of materials and to assess environmental benefits and burdens. SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 19 How MFA is connected with e-waste generation estimation? A review has been submitted analysing 40 articles on MFA at 2nd International Research Conference on Sustainable Energy, Engineering, Materials and Environment (SEEME), Polytechnic School of Mieres, University of Oviedo, Spain, July Major methods used by the researchers are Input-output, time series MFA, substance flow analysis (SFA) (for material level analysis) etc. Data collection 1. Fieldwork for individual quantitative data from recyclers, collectors and local municipalities 2. Questionnaire survey 3. Statistical data from Government reports 4. Literature review SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 20 10
