b'FACTORS INFLUENCING E-WASTE RECYCLING IN SINGAPORELam Zen Xin Jefrey, Trixi Lim Rui Si,Sarah Bte Mohamad Ayub, Levon Cho Wei Yuan,Low Shu Woon, Abdul Kamal Bin RozaliThe Issue of E-WasteDue to rapid advancements in technology in recent years, the global production of electronic waste (e-waste) has been increasing tremendously. While Singapore generates about 60,000 tonnes of e-waste annually, equivalent to each person throwing away 11 kg of e-waste or the weight of 73 mobile phones. This is an alarming issue as the improper disposal of electronics can bring about a multitude of repercussions to environmental and public health through the release of toxic by-products. Additionally, recycling e-waste can also provide valuable materials needed for the production of newer electronics. Hence, addressing this lack of e-waste recycling behaviours is of paramount importance. Currently, there is little research on the topic of e-waste recycling in Singapore. Purpose of StudyThis qualitative study is done in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) and the National Environment Agency (NEA), and aims to understand how people manage their electronic devices, ultimately facilitating the development of effective interventions targeted at nudging people towards the proper management of e-waste. MethodologyA series of household interviews and environmental scans were conducted to better understand the e-waste recycling landscape and current initiatives in Singapore. Interviews were crafted to explore various aspects of electronics management habits and behaviours.ParticipantsQualitative interviews were conducted with 30 households. Participants were split according to various demographic characteristics; a proportionate mix was attained to best represent the Singapore population.7TH PSYCHOLOGY STUDIES 56STUDENT CONFERENCE 2021'
