Augmented Reality and Waste Reduction: Enhancing the Recycling Process for Mobile E-Waste in Automotive Manufacturing

Electronic waste (e-waste) includes many items, such as waste from electronic devices, mobile parts, electronic appliances, and other household appliances that have reached the end of their life. India is the world's fifth-largest producer of e-waste, according to UN data. While many technologies and industries have been developed to recycle these enormous amounts of electronic waste, the challenge of separating various WEEE materials remains. To encourage the reuse of damaged or unused mobile phones or mobile parts, they can be utilized in automobile industries for applications such as cameras used in parking and GPS with voice assistance. Our proposed system utilizes augmented reality to gather information about unused parts that are suitable for desired applications in the automobile industry. By using augmented reality, our system can efficiently identify and categorize the parts needed for each application, reducing the time and cost of identifying and separating the parts manually. The aim of our proposed project is to reduce the production and recycling costs of mobile parts while also creating a hazard-free environment by reusing e-waste in the automobile industry.
