Description of Invention

Effective electronic waste management is important for both human health and the environment. Referred to as e-waste, these discarded electronics harbor hazardous components like lead and mercury. Generally, e-waste will end up in landfills, where the toxins will pollute our land and water. Therefore, this project introduces an integrated e-waste recycling system that combines fill level tracking, indoor positioning, and step counting. This eco-friendly solution not only encourages appropriate disposal but also offers convenience while tackling the issue of inactive lifestyles. Moreover, it seamlessly aligns with the smart city goals, advancing sustainability and fostering a positive impact on our surroundings.
