E-waste management system tracking the product lifecycle from inception to end-of-life via Web3 and React to enhance system capabilities.
Every year, a significant amount of electronic devices become obsolete, contributing to the growing e-waste problem. Improper management of e-waste can have detrimental effects on the environment and human health. Current methods of e-waste management often lack transparency and accountability, making it challenging to track the lifecycle of electronic products and ensure responsible disposal and recycling practices.
The 'EWaste Management' project proposes the use of blockchain technology to revolutionize e-waste management. By creating a decentralized platform, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, consumers, refurbishers, recyclers, and governmental and environmental agencies can interact and track the lifecycle of electronic products effectively. Each entity in the supply chain can perform specific actions such as 'Sell', 'Give', 'Dispose', or 'Return', ensuring transparency and accountability at every stage of the product lifecycle.
- Developed a holistic e-waste management system addressing the product lifecycle from inception to end-of-life.
- Achieved seamless integration of Web3 with React, enhancing system capabilities.
- Created an adaptive and user-friendly UI/UX design, ensuring a satisfying user experience.
- Implemented robust data capturing mechanisms for accurate tracking without compromising usability.
- Established granular transaction rights for stakeholders, enhancing system depth and customization.
Utilizing a decentralized ledger, the project records the lifecycle of electronic devices, ensuring traceability and transparency.
Stakeholders such as manufacturers and consumers have distinct functionalities, enabling actions like 'Sell', 'Return', or 'Dispose' based on their role in the supply chain.
Machine Learning algorithms analyze e-waste data to predict product lifespans and forecast e-waste generation, aiding in waste management planning.
Governmental and environmental agencies can monitor transactions, ensuring compliance with e-waste regulations and standards.
By integrating blockchain data and ML insights, the project provides key sustainability metrics, guiding optimized e-waste strategies.
