Sustainable Technology: Development of a Multi-functional Device using Recycled E-Waste ComponentsPages 411-417
Oscar B. Barte Abstract:
The study explores the innovative creation of a household multi-functional device (MFD) by repurposing e-waste components. This MFD prototype integrates the functions of a rice cooker, LCD TV, DVD player, amplifier, and electric fan, utilizing both AC and DC power, with alternative energy inputs from solar panels, hand-cranked generators, and rechargeable batteries. Through a structured development approach involving design, procurement, repair, and testing stages, the study demonstrates how e-waste can be effectively transformed into valuable, multifunctional household technology, thereby reducing environmental impacts.
