The disposal and recycling of electronic waste (e-waste) is a global challenge. The disassembly of components is a crucial step towards an efficient recycling process, avoiding the destructive methods. Although most disassembly work is…
Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) such as copper, manganese, gallium, and various rare earths have great importance for the electronic industry. To increase the concentration of individual CRMs and thus make their extraction from Waste Printed…
Electronics are integral to modern life; however, at their end-of-life these devices produce environmentally hazardous electronic waste (e-waste). Recycling the ubiquitous printed circuit boards (PCBs) that make up a substantial mass and…
The increasing proliferation of electronic devices in the modern era has led to a significant surge in electronic waste (e-waste). Improper disposal and insufficient recycling of e-waste pose serious environmental and health risks. This…
PCB (printed circuit board) substrates are often single-use, leading to material waste in electronics making. We introduce PCB Renewal, a novel technique that "erases" and "reconfigures" PCB traces by selectively depositing conductive epoxy…
Autonomous robotic grasping of uncertain objects in uncertain environments is an impactful open challenge for the industries of the future. One such industry is the recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) materials, in…
Less than 35% of recyclable waste is being actually recycled in the US, which leads to increased soil and sea pollution and is one of the major concerns of environmental researchers as well as the common public. At the heart of the problem…
The recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment is an essential tool in allowing for a circular economy, presenting the potential for significant environmental and economic gain. However, traditional material separation…
Effectively disassembling and recovering materials from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a critical step in moving global supply chains from carbon-intensive, mined materials to recycled and renewable ones. Conventional…
The ever-increasing amount of global refuse is overwhelming the waste and recycling management industries. The need for smart systems for environmental monitoring and the enhancement of recycling processes is thus greater than ever. Amongst…
It is important to develop sustainable processes in materials science and manufacturing that are environmentally friendly. AI can play a significant role in decision support here as evident from our earlier research leading to tools…
Battery recycling is becoming increasingly critical due to the rapid growth in battery usage and the limited availability of natural resources. Moreover, as battery energy densities continue to rise, improper handling during recycling poses…
Waste management is one of the significant problems throughout the world. Contemporaneous methods find it difficult to manage the volume of solid waste generated by the growing urban population. In this paper, we propose a system which is…
Printed Circuit Boards are the foundation for the functioning of any electronic device, and therefore are an essential component for various industries such as automobile, communication, computation, etc. However, one of the challenges…
With unorganized, unplanned and improper use of limited raw materials, an abundant amount of waste is being produced, which is harmful to our environment and ecosystem. While traditional linear production lines fail to address far-reaching…
This contribution gives an overview of an ongoing project using machine learning and computer vision components for improving the electronic waste recycling process. In circular economy, the "virtual mines" concept refers to production…
Segregation of garbage is a primary concern in many nations across the world. Even though we are in the modern era, many people still do not know how to distinguish between organic and recyclable waste. It is because of this that the world…
Population growth in the last decades has resulted in the production of about 2.01 billion tons of municipal waste per year. The current waste management systems are not capable of providing adequate solutions for the disposal and use of…
Smart Bins have become popular in smart cities and campuses around the world. These bins have a compaction mechanism that increases the bins' capacity as well as automated real-time collection notifications. In this paper, we propose…
Plastic has imbibed itself as an indispensable part of our day to day activities, becoming a source of problems due to its non-biodegradable nature and cheaper production prices. With these problems, comes the challenge of mitigating and…
