Summary:Along with the times, electronic devices are increasingly becoming a necessity and increasing the number of uses which has an impact on the emergence of the resulting electronic waste. Electronic waste is included in the hazardous waste category because it contains components that are dangerous and toxic and requires proper management according to the hazardous waste management category. On the other hand, electronic waste has economic value because its components can be recycled. This research was conducted to estimate the potential for the emergence of electronic waste and its management. In this study, primary data collection was taken through a two-stage survey. In the preliminary survey, 104 respondents were found and selected cellphones, laptops, televisions, irons, fans, rice cookers, refrigerators, blenders, dispensers, and washing machines as research objects. The main questionnaire is divided into 2 questionnaires, including the ownership and handling questionnaire of electronic goods filled out by 107 respondents which are used to project the generation of electronic waste. Then, a questionnaire regarding willingness to pay, and willingness to participate in the community, which was filled in by 416 respondents. The potential for generation is calculated using the delay model. Based on the results of calculating the potential for electronic waste obtained in the City of Yogyakarta, it will reach 1,658.36 tons in 2023 and 6,166.87 tons in 2050. Respondents' desire to participate in electronic waste management is 86.54% of respondents are willing to sort their electronic waste. Furthermore, the recommended EPR concept is a take-back requirements system, where there is a policy to return electronic products that are no longer used. This concept was approved by respondents with a TCR value of 70.10%.
