Electronic Waste Segregation System

Abstract

This article presents the electronic waste separation system. It is an innovation for separating electronic waste from other types of waste to properly destroy it later. The electronic waste separation system uses magnetic induction theory to facilitate the separation of electronic waste from other types of waste. The Servo motor will spin and open an outlet for waste to correctly fall into. Inside the bins, there is a measure of the level of both types of waste, counting amount of waste, measuring temperature. Which controls the work with the Internet of Things technology and sends data through the NB-IOT system to store data in a database. The e-waste sorting system shows the level of waste, the amount of e-waste, general waste, and the location of e-waste sorting bins. internal temperature via application website can be analyzed and designed for efficient waste collection. In the experiment, 67 pieces of random waste were tested. The accuracy is approximately 89.5%. However, the system is more suitable for medium size waste while being unable to identify smaller-size waste such as earbud headphones or Smalltalk. The reason behind this limitation is the fact that the quantity of metal was too little and unable to facilitate induction. Therefore, a stronger induction circuit is required.
