Abstract：
The paper investigates the potential of circular economy of authorized e-waste collectors, dismantlers, and recyclers of Maharashtra. The study determines the drivers and barriers associated with e-waste collection in the region. Furthermore, it explores the handling techniques including dismantling, recycling, and scrap disposal. This is done through a case study of a recycling company based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. A questionnaire-based survey is used to study e-waste processing units. The qualitative analysis of the questionnaire shows that lack of awareness of environmental impact is the greatest constraint in the collection of e-waste and data security is the most crucial driver for enhancing the collection of e-waste. The case study reveals that the quantity and type of e-waste are more important than the distance between the processing unit and the collection point. It discloses that the primary factor for building trust between e-waste collectors and waste holders is data security.
摘要：
本文研究了授权电子垃圾收集者的循环经济潜力，拆解者,和马哈拉施特拉邦的回收商。该研究确定了该地区与电子垃圾收集相关的驱动因素和障碍。此外，它探索了处理技术，包括拆卸，回收,和废料处理。这是通过孟买一家回收公司的案例研究来完成的，马哈拉施特拉邦.基于问卷调查的调查用于研究电子垃圾处理单元。问卷的定性分析表明，缺乏对环境影响的认识是电子垃圾收集的最大制约因素，数据安全是加强电子垃圾收集的最关键驱动因素。案例研究表明，电子垃圾的数量和类型比处理单元和收集点之间的距离更为重要。它揭示了在电子废物收集者和废物持有者之间建立信任的主要因素是数据安全。
