| Summary: | Electronic waste (e-waste) is a type of solid waste whose generation is increasing
every year. Improperly treated e-waste can impose negative impacts on health and the
environment. However, most of the e-waste from the household sector is still improperly
managed and processed by the informal sector and the amount is not documented. This
research focuses on identifying the amount of e-waste generation and recommendations for ewaste management in East Jakarta City. Primary data was collected in 2022 through a
preliminary survey and main survey. The survey was conducted using questionnaire with
stratified proportional random sampling method for 104 households calculated using the
Yamane formula. A preliminary survey was conducted to determine the most types of electronic
products owned and often replaced by the people of East Jakarta City, as the object of research.
From the survey, 9 types of electronic products were obtained, namely mobile phones, laptops,
televisions, fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, irons, rice cookers, and speakers. The main
survey was conducted to record the purchase and treatment of electronic products, willingness
to participate in e-waste management, and respondents' knowledge of e-waste. Purchase data
is projected using linear and exponential regression, and the waste generation is calculated
using the delay model. In 2022, the generation of electronic waste, using a 9 product type
approach, from the household sector in East Jakarta City is estimated to reach 9,225.5 tons.
This generation is expected to increase to 19,318.1 tons in 2030 and 152,058.2 tons in 2051.
The level of public willingness to participate in e-waste management reaches 87.5%. Through
correlation analysis using logistic regression, it was founded that knowledge about e-waste,
level of education, and per capita expenditure had no effect on respondents' willingness to
participate. The recommendations for e-waste management provided include implementing
take-back policies, integrating the informal sector, and increasing community participation. |
