I. Introduction
- With the status of environmental pollution caused by e-waste, we will develop an application called handle e-waste. to help limit the amount of untreated e-waste released into the natural environment.
- We research in Vietnam and will apply in Vietnam. **II. Literature Review (P1)
- Introduction** According to the "Global E-waste Monitor 2020" report of the United Nations, the amount of e-waste generated by the global economy is increasing rapidly, estimated to increase by 21% in the past 5 years. Houses and businesses around the world released 53.6 million tons of e-waste into the environment in 2019. Of which, Asia is the largest generator (about 24.9 million tons), followed by Asia. To the Americas (13.1 million tons) and Europe (12 million tons). Africa and Oceania have relatively little e-waste. The project of ours will find a way to solve the problem of e-waste, and will develop a product that makes it easier to solve this problem. 2. Current Situation Nowadays, with the digital age of 4.0, many electronic devices are produced to meet the needs of use. But most of the waste from those electronic devices is not treated properly and many places are still discharged into the environment without treatment. The report also said that e-waste includes mostly discarded products containing batteries and plugs. At the current rate of growth, the global economy will generate 74 million tons of e-waste every year after 2030. 3. Proposed Solution We will create an easy-to-use mobile app that makes garbage collection easier and faster, that also solves the transportation problem of households. The application will have the following features:
- Book in advance to sell electronic devices you no longer use.
- Book in advance to donate electronics. Only with just a few taps on your mobile phone, you can clean up all the electronic devices you don't need anymore. 4. Conclusion
Figure 1 Survey question 1 Figure 2 Survey question 2 According to our report, 100% of the 756 respondents used electronic devices, and 41.3% of the users used 7 devices.
Figure 8 Survey question 8 Figure 9 Survey question
- According to the report, most people know the dangers of e-waste, but they are not aware of how to properly handle electronic devices. The rate of waste and direct burning is very high, accounting for 63.5%, the remaining 36% is sold to small retailers.

- The dangerous level of e-waste is extremely dangerous, and very difficult to handle. Toxic substances easily mix into the air, water, and soil and cause direct harm to people in contact.
- In Vietnam, there are very few companies and enterprises that handle electronic devices properly, which is also the main reason why people have to burn or bury them. The report also shows the desire of the people, if there is an application to help them well in disposing of discarded electronic devices. **IV. Project Planning Management
- Backgound** Understanding the difficulties and desires of the people, we have planned to implement a project to help them dispose of electronic equipment waste.
- Project name: Application Handle E-Waste
- Purpose and goals: The project aims to make it easier for people to transport e-waste to enterprises for handle, and to help enterprises manage the amount of e-waste from people more easily. That will limit the amount of e-waste that released into the environment without being handle.
- We choose Waterfall Model to study for this project.
- Waterfall model is also referred to as a linear-sequential life cycle model. It is very simple to understand and use. In a waterfall model, each phase must be completed before the next phase can begin and there is no overlapping in the phases. Figure 19 Waterfall Model
- The sequential phases in Waterfall model are: Requirement Gathering and analysis − All possible requirements of the system to be developed are captured in this phase and documented in a requirement specification document. System Design − The requirement specifications from first phase are studied in this phase and the system design is prepared. This system design helps in specifying hardware and system requirements and helps in defining the overall system architecture. Implementation − With inputs from the system design, the system is first developed in small programs called units, which are integrated in the next phase. Each unit is developed and tested for its functionality, which is referred to as Unit Testing. Integration and Testing − All the units developed in the implementation phase are integrated into a system after testing of each unit. Post integration the entire system is tested for any faults and failures. Deployment of system − Once the functional and non-functional testing is done; the product is deployed in the customer environment or released into the market. Maintenance − There are some issues which come up in the client environment. To fix those issues, patches are released. Also to enhance the product some better versions are released. Maintenance is done to deliver these changes in the customer environment.
- Advantages: Simple and easy to understand and use Easy to manage due to the rigidity of the model. Each phase has specific deliverables and a review process. Phases are processed and completed one at a time. Works well for smaller projects where requirements are very well understood. Clearly defined stages. Well understood milestones. Easy to arrange tasks. Process and results are well documented.
- Disadvantages: No working software is produced until late during the life cycle. High amounts of risk and uncertainty. Not a good model for complex and object-oriented projects. Poor model for long and ongoing projects. Not suitable for the projects where requirements are at a moderate to high risk of changing. So, risk and uncertainty is high with this process model. It is difficult to measure progress within stages. Cannot accommodate changing requirements. Adjusting scope during the life cycle can end a project. Integration is done as a "big-bang. at the very end, which doesn't allow identifying any technological or business bottleneck or challenges early. 5. Tools
- We use Android Studio and Java language tool for app development.
- The function of Android Studio is to provide an interface to create applications and handle most of the complex file management stuff behind the scenes. The programming language used here is Java and is installed separately on your device
