Users Perception Towards the Development of E-Waste Bin

Abstract

The rapid growth in the worldwide use of electronic items has made e-waste a critical environmental concern for many nations. Toxic e-waste can pollute the environment and harm humans. This apparatus is a complex construct of thousands of toxic substances, including brominated compounds, poisonous gases, toxic metals, biologically active substances, and plastic additives. Due to the circumstances, the main goal of the study is to create and build an e-waste bin for phones, cables, batteries, power banks, etc. that is safe and good for the environment. The study also aims to determine the usage of the e-waste bin at Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah (PSA) in term of four dimensions which are visual design, tutorial approach, applicability, user of satisfaction. This study used ADDIE Instructional Design (Analyse, Design, Build, Implement, and Evaluate) for the development of the product. This quantitative study used questionnaires to obtain data from 150 PSA community members. The majority of respondents found that the e-waste bin's visual elements, aspect of applicability, and aspect of application met or exceeded their expectations. The average item values show that the e-waste bin exceeds the community's expectations for how much joy and satisfaction it brings.  Most community in PSA dispose of their e-waste responsibly in the bin. This study should help local authorities, waste collection businesses, and waste electronic organizations develop, locate, and promote small e-waste bin collections.
