  1. Hardware – E-Waste Shredder The Environment E-Waste: Disposal and Recycling of IT Equipment Justin Modi

  2. Flowchart The IT equipment is shredded a second time down to 1.5in A variety of IT equipment is loaded onto a conveyer belt IT equipment is transported to a shredder The IT devices go back on a conveyer belt The groups of material then pass two eddy currents which remove any aluminum mixed with the steel The material is then placed in a sizer that assorts the material into size based groups The shredded equipment goes back on a conveyer passing under a cross belt magnet

  3. Flowchart Explanation • IT equipment goes on a conveyer, transported to shredder A variety of IT equipment is loaded onto a conveyer belt IT equipment is transported to a shredder

  4. Flowchart Explanation • Scraps travel to a another shredder The IT equipment is shredded a second time down to 1.5in The IT devices go back on a conveyer belt

  5. Flowchart Explanation • Passes cross belt magnet, sizer, and eddy current The groups of material then pass two eddy currents which remove any aluminum mixed with the steel The shredded equipment goes back on a conveyer passing under a cross belt magnet The material is then placed in a sizer that assorts the material into size based groups

  6. Hardware • Conveyer Belt • Input Device

  7. Hardware • Shredder • Input/Output/Processing Device

  8. Hardware • Cross Belt Magnet • Processing Device

  9. Hardware • Sizer • Input/Processing Device

  10. Hardware • Eddy Current • Processing Device

  11. Software • CycleLution Software for E-WasteRecycler

  12. Stakeholders • The Public • Developing Countries involved with E-waste management

  13. Advantages • The Public • Cleaner Environment, less health hazards

  14. Advantages • Developing Countries • Less e-waste to deal with

  15. Disadvantages • The Public • Large, removes space for residential/co-mmercial use

  16. Disadvantages • Developing Countries • Less scraps for poor nations to sell

  17. Social/Ethical Issues • Policy • Limit exporting e-waste

  18. Social/Ethical Issues • Equality of access • Developing vs. developed nations

  19. Social/Ethical Issues • Reliability • Must work, little alternatives
