Design Area Six "Waste And Reuse“
Presented by: Group 3
Course : CUC106
Assignment 3b

Did you know that… During the entire lifetime of an individual they might throw as much as six hundred time more that their weight?
It has been a traditional challenge for Cape York.
The remote Indigenous communities are directly involved in waste collection services.
This project primarily focuses on the Waste and Reuse for the white goods.
"White goods” waste management
Generally means electrical waste.
Usually cheaper to buy rather than fixing.
This have been the same case in Cape York.
white goods
Waste management practices around white goods acquisition, use, and disposal have significant implications to the rate of climate change.
Modern refrigerants in use (HFCs) which have 1,000 to 9,000 times more capacity to increase the atmospheric temperature than carbon dioxide
Some of the white goods wastes accumulate along the coast-line which has been an ongoing challenge.
Majority of White goods contain switches that contain mercury which may get into the water bodies easily and bio-accumulates thus polluting the environment.
Hazards in White Goods
People who belief to “5 R’s” are bringing back old fridge rother than taking one from the dump.
Modern fridges problem
The Hidden Challenges in Cape York.
SOLUTION?
IN NEXT SLIDE
Encouraging people to get cash or reward for the old appliances.
Donate to charity organizations for recycle.
Exchange offers.
Contact a waste management company for safe disposal.
RECYCLING PROPOSAL
CREATE UK which rescues old fridges and freezers from the scrap yard celebrating a very successful eight-month anniversary. (Li, Han, & Lu, 2018).
FOR Example:

There are numerous challenges on waste management especially on rural areas.
These challenges open new opportunities which involve exploring upcycling or recycling waste found in the environment.
This project explores suitable repurposing of white goods waste items and others such as plastics and ghost nets which are commonly washed up on shorelines of Cape York.
Remote re/upcycling opportunities
Collection: Recycling the white goods begins with collecting the appliances from different pick-up or drop-off points and transporting them to a recycling center.
Disposal: disposing the harmful materials such as mercury, lead or oils.
Scraping: The remaining material may be sold for scrap or can be DE manufactured.
This process keeps about 95% waste materials from the environment.
Harnessing the creativity and fabrication skills in developing sustainable alternatives to the current available white goods is critical in successfully implementing this project.
Generic white goods in the remote areas are usually difficult to repair, maintain or appropriately dispose when they break up.
Simple alternative of such appliances may extend their life while also minimizing the level of wastes that need to be transported into urban areas or disposed in the bushes.
Some of the common example are cloth and dish washing which may reduce the need for electrical washing machines. Alternative to refrigeration may also reduce the need for electrical refrigerator.
alternatives to electric goods
This process is not costly at all!
Waste management is crucial to environment.
It is also a essential requirement in realizing efficient cost savings as well as businesses return.
Benefits of Developing a waste strategy
The policies in this prototypes aims at influencing sustainable development in the society.
We consider the cultural participation which is perceived as complementary factor.
There is a correlation between the propensity of engaging some cultural activities and white goods recycling guidelines.
cultural Suitability
This project has tremendous benefits to the environment.
Recycling of white goods and electronic appliances saves considerable amounts of energy.
Helps in saving tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year.
This project involves removing all the hazardous components before recycling or de manufacturing.
Greenhouse gases from old refrigerators are released and neutralized in closed chambers.
Environmental suitability
White goods and electronics are manufactured by precious metals such as copper or diamond.
This project is economically worth because:
Recycling or reusing them reduces the need of mining.
Helps in energy saving by eliminating appliances that are no longer needed in a household.
Precious metal like gold from the white goods and electronics can economically benefits the community.
Economic Suitability
White goods and electronics goods are refurbished when not needed but are still working perfectly.
Unwanted white goods are reusable.
Steel, copper and plastics recovered may be reprocessed into new metal and other plastic products.
This project will be implemented through a drop-off service.
Technical Suitability
Another Solution: Eco ATM Machine
We will use the concept of Eco ATM machine.
What is Eco ATM Machine?
A machine that collects e devices and gives a price to it’s seller.
This concept will help the Cape York community to collect the e waste and also it is also financially beneficial.
Here’s the Conceptual prototype for our E device collecting machine –
Well Does this make any sense ? Of course no !
Because making even a prototype of this device will require a lot of time for our assignment . But in real life it’s really not that hard to make .
The Mechanism of this device -
This device have 3 censors and that does all the work.
Weight sensor: takes the weight of the device and gives a point to consumer.
Metal sensor: Gives the value point, it tells how much metal it have and gives the worth of the device.
IR sensor :A passive infrared sensor is an electronic sensor that measures infrared light radiating from objects in its field of view.
Putting the sensors together, here’s our device -
Prototype
Functionality
To communicate with the e waste collector device you will need a application called “Bluetooth terminal HC 05”
This programmed application will give all the data about the disposed electronic device and will give the worth.
White goods waste management have been a major challenge in Cape York, Australia.
Our project involves recycling the white goods which begins with collecting the appliances from different drop-off and pick-up points and transporting them to a recycling center.
This is followed by disassembling the appliances and safely disposing the harmful materials such as mercury, lead or oils.
This project has had tremendous cultural, environmental, economical, technical benefits.
The project achieved the primary objective of reducing, reusing and recycling of white goods art Cape York.
