    Description

    What is e-waste? E-waste is electronic products that are near or at the end of their useful life and have been damaged. Computer, TV, copier, fax, etc. are among the products that we use on a daily basis.

    Applying the best method to dispose of electronic devices is a challenge that the world has been facing since the 1970s, and today, electronic devices that are thrown away are much more than before, which are referred to as electronic waste.

    In other words, e-waste is any used and broken electronic equipment that is thrown away and is very dangerous due to the toxic chemicals that naturally arise from the metals inside it when buried.

    List of common e-waste items Home Appliances

    microwave Home entertainment devices Electric ovens Heaters Fan Communication devices and information technology

    Mobile phones Smart phones Desktop computers Computer monitor Laptop Hard disks Home entertainment devices

    DVDs Televisions Video game systems Fax machines Copiers Printers Electronic Services

    Massage chairs Heating pads Remote control TV remotes Electric cable Lamps Smart lights Night lights treadmill Smart watches Heart monitors Diabetes testing equipment Office and medical equipment

    Copiers/printers IT servers wire and cable Wi-Fi dongles Dialysis machines Imaging equipment Telephone and central systems Audio and video equipment Network hardware (eg server, switch, hub, etc.) Power strips and power supplies Uninterruptible power supply (UPS systems) power distribution systems (PDU) autoclave shock device Today, with the advancement of technology and the high speed of introducing new products to the market, even healthy devices become obsolete after a while.

    Think of the many VCR players that were replaced by the introduction of DVD players, and now DVD players with

    Blu-ray players have been replaced.

    The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that up to 60 million tons of e-waste end up in landfills in the United States alone each year. E-waste is the starting point for the introduction of toxic substances into the environment

    While the use of electronic devices is not dangerous for us in terms of having toxic substances, most electronic devices contain some types of toxic substances, including beryllium, cadmium, mercury and lead, which pose serious environmental risks to soil, water, air and life. They bring our beast with them.

    The more e-waste and metals in landfills, the more these toxic substances seep into the groundwater.

    The entry of these substances into the water severely harms the wildlife and causes the wildlife to become ill due to lead, arsenic, cadmium and other metals poisoning due to the high concentration of these minerals. What to do with electronic waste? Fortunately, there is a proven solution! E-waste recycling is very useful and efficient.

    Recovering parts inside devices that are still valuable and providing recycled metals to manufacturers who can make new products

    Using these parts is a very good solution.

    It can be said that almost all electronic waste contains some kind of recyclable material, this includes materials such as plastic, glass and metals, etc., and for this reason, it may seem a little funny that these devices are called "garbage" in While it can be very useful.

    Technological innovators continue to create electronic devices that make our lives easier and more convenient in every way imaginable, so in response to the question, "What is e-waste?" A good answer would be: "It depends."

    Description

    Electronic waste generation worldwide stood at roughly 62 million metric tons in 2022. Several factors, such as increased spending power, and the availability of electronics, has fueled e-waste generation in recent decades, making it the fastest growing waste stream worldwide. This trend is expected to continue, with annual e-waste generation forecast at 82 million metric tons in 2030.

    How much e-waste do people produce?

    Globally, e-waste generation per capita averaged 7.8 kilograms in 2022. However, this differs greatly depending on the region. While Asia produces the most e-waste worldwide in volume, Europe and Oceania were the regions with the highest e-waste generation per capita, at 17.6 and 16.1 kilograms respectively.

    E-waste disposal

    In 2022, the share of e-waste formally collected and recycled worldwide stood at 22.3 percent. Meanwhile, around 48 million metric tons are estimated to have been collected informally, with 29 percent of this value being disposed as residual waste, most likely ending up in landfills. Due to the hazardous materials that are often used in electronics, improper e-waste disposal is a growing environmental concern worldwide.

    Description

    Sustainable management of electronic waste is critical to achieving a circular-economy and minimizing environment and public health risks. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of pyrolysis as a possible technique to recover valuable materials and energy from different components of e-waste as an alternative approach for limiting their disposal to landfills. The study includes investigating the potential impact of thermal processing of e-waste.Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTG) of e-waste components were used to better understand the mass loss characteristics of the pyrolysis process up to 700 oC. The changes in e-waste chemical components during pyrolysis were considered using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques. The energy recovery from pyrolysis was made in a horizontal tube furnace under anoxic and isothermal condition of selected temperatures of 300, 400 and 500 oC. Critical and valuable metals were recovered from electronic components. Pyrolysis produced liquid and gas mixtures organic compounds that can be used as fuels, but the process also emitted particulate matter and semi-volatile organic products, and the remaining ash contained leachable pollutants. Furthermore, toxicity leaching characteristic profile of e-waste and partly oxidized products were conducted to measure the levels of pollutants leached before and after pyrolysis at selected temperatures. The results of this study contribute to the development of alternative approaches to practical recycling that could especially help reduce plastic pollution and recover materials of value from e-waste. Additionally, this information may be used to assess the risk of exposure of workers to emissions semi-formal recycling centers.

    Description

    Overview

    The goal of this project was to create a structured dataset which can be used to train computer vision models to detect electronic waste devices, i.e., e-waste or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Due to the often-subjective differences between e-waste and functioning electronic devices, a model trained on this dataset could also be used to detect electronic devices in general. However, it must be noted that for the purposes of e-waste recognition, this dataset does not differentiate between different brands or models of the same type of electronic devices, e.g. smartphones, and it also includes images of damaged equipment.

    The structure of this dataset is based on the UNU-KEYS classification Wang et al., 2012, Forti et al., 2018. Each class in this dataset has a tag containing its corresponding UNU-KEY. This dataset structure has the following benefits: 1. It allows the user to easily classify e-waste devices regardless of which e-waste definition their country or organization uses, thanks to the correlation between the UNU-KEYS and other classifications such as the HS-codes or the EU-6 categories, defined in the WEEE directive; 2. It helps dataset contributors focus on adding e-waste devices with higher priority compared to arbitrarily chosen devices. This is because electronic devices in the same UNU-KEY category have similar function, average weight and life-time distribution as well as comparable material composition, both in terms of hazardous substances and valuable materials, and related end-of-life attributes Forti et al., 2018. 3. It gives dataset contributors a clear goal of which electronic devices still need to be added and a clear understanding of their progress in the seemingly endless task of creating an e-waste dataset.

    This dataset contains annotated images of e-waste from every UNU-KEY category. According to Forti et al., 2018, there are a total of 54 UNU-KEY e-waste categories.

    Description of Classes

    At the time of writing, 22. Apr. 2024, the dataset has 19613 annotated images and 77 classes. The dataset has mixed bounding-box and polygon annotations. Each class of the dataset represents one type of electronic device. Different models of the same type of device belong to the same class. For example, different brands of smartphones are labelled as "Smartphone", regardless of their make or model. Many classes can belong to the same UNU-KEY category and therefore have the same tag. For example, the classes "Smartphone" and "Bar-Phone" both belong to the UNU-KEY category "0306 - Mobile Phones". The images in the dataset are anonymized, meaning that no people were annotated and images containing visible faces were removed.

    The dataset was almost entirely built by cloning annotated images from the following open-source Roboflow datasets: [1]-[91]. Some of the images in the dataset were acquired from the Wikimedia Commons website. Those images were chosen to have an unrestrictive license, i.e., they belong to the public domain. They were manually annotated and added to the dataset.

    Contribution Guidelines

    Image Collection

    1. Choose a specific electronic device type to add to the dataset and find its corresponding UNU-KEY. * The chosen type of device should have a characteristic design which an object detection model can learn. For example, CRT monitors look distinctly different than flat panel monitors and should therefore belong to a different class, regardless that they are both monitors. In contrast, LED monitors and LCD monitors look very similar and are therefore both labelled as Flat-Panel-Monitor in this dataset.
    2. Collect images of this type of device. * Take note of the license of those images and their author/s to avoid copyright infringement. * Do not collect images with visible faces to protect personal data and comply with GDPR regulations. * Images can

    This dataset contains annotated images of e-waste from every UNU-KEY category. According to Forti et al., 2018, there are a total of 54 UNU-KEY e-waste categories.

    Description of Classes

    At the time of writing, 22. Apr. 2024, the dataset has 19613 annotated images and 77 classes. The dataset has mixed bounding-box and polygon annotations. Each class of the dataset represents one type of electronic device. Different models of the same type of device belong to the same class. For example, different brands of smartphones are labelled as "Smartphone", regardless of their make or model. Many classes can belong to the same UNU-KEY category and therefore have the same tag. For example, the classes "Smartphone" and "Bar-Phone" both belong to the UNU-KEY category "0306 - Mobile Phones". The images in the dataset are anonymized, meaning that no people were annotated and images containing visible faces were removed.

    The dataset was almost entirely built by cloning annotated images from the following open-source Roboflow datasets: [1]-[91]. Some of the images in the dataset were acquired from the Wikimedia Commons website. Those images were chosen to have an unrestrictive license, i.e., they belong to the public domain. They were manually annotated and added to the dataset.

    Contribution Guidelines

    Image Collection

    1. Choose a specific electronic device type to add to the dataset and find its corresponding UNU-KEY. * The chosen type of device should have a characteristic design which an object detection model can learn. For example, CRT monitors look distinctly different than flat panel monitors and should therefore belong to a different class, regardless that they are both monitors. In contrast, LED monitors and LCD monitors look very similar and are therefore both labelled as Flat-Panel-Monitor in this dataset.
    2. Collect images of this type of device. * Take note of the license of those images and their author/s to avoid copyright infringement. * Do not collect images with visible faces to protect personal data and comply with GDPR regulations. * Images can

    Description

    ♻️ E-Waste Classification Dataset (37 Classes) - Public Subset

    📌 Context

    This dataset was developed as part of the research paper "Hybrid Framework for E-Waste Classification using YOLO11 and Large Language Model Validation," presented at the 2025 International Conference on Advanced Technologies in Energy and Informatic (ICATEI).

    📦 Dataset Versioning (v1.0)

    Please Note: This repository contains a curated public subset of the complete dataset used in our original research. We have released this specific subset (Version 1.0) to provide the academic community with a high-quality, balanced foundation for reproducing our core methodology and testing baseline YOLO architectures. Future updates may expand the dataset.

    📊 Dataset Details

    The dataset is structured in standard YOLO annotation format (.txt bounding boxes) and is ready for immediate training. * Number of Classes: 37 distinct e-waste categories * Dataset Split: Pre-split into 60-20-20, 70-20-10, and 80-10-10 for immediate training.

    📸 Data Collection Methodology

    This is a hybrid dataset: * Manual Photography: Real-world photos captured by our research team across various lighting conditions, backgrounds, and angles to ensure robustness. * Publicly Sourced Images: Curated from public sources and search engines (under Fair Use for academic research) to expand underrepresented classes and ensure comprehensive 37-class coverage.

    ⚖️ Dataset Balancing Strategy

    Because real-world data contains a natural class imbalance (e.g., highly common items like Cables vs rare items like Projectors), we implemented an oversampling algorithm during preprocessing to protect model training from minority class neglect. The training set was balanced using a cyclic duplication pipeline targeting the median class instance count.

    Hardware-ID

    A Curated High-Resolution Image Dataset for Electronic Waste Identification & Classification

    Overview

    Hardware-ID is a curated, high-resolution image dataset focused on the identification and classification of Electronic Waste (E-Waste). As global electronic waste production continues to accelerate, the development of automated recycling and sorting systems is critical for a sustainable circular economy.

    This dataset bridges a significant gap in existing computer vision resources by providing granular, annotated data for internal laptop components — parts that are traditionally difficult for models to distinguish.

    Context

    While many hardware datasets focus on exterior device identification, Hardware-ID goes deeper — literally. By documenting the internal modular components of laptops, this dataset facilitates the training of models designed for:

    • Automated Dismantling — Assisting robotic systems in identifying part boundaries.
    • Sustainable Waste Management — Improving the purity of sorted materials for recycling.
    • Inventory Cataloging — Identifying salvaged parts for the secondary market.

    Dataset Composition

    PropertyDetails
    Total Images3600+
    Annotation FormatYOLO v8 / COCO JSON / CSV
    Annotation TypePrecise Bounding Boxes / Polygon Masks
    Labeling ToolLabel Studio

    Target Classes

    The dataset includes diverse components from various laptop generations and manufacturers, with a specific focus on:

    Optical Drives

    DVD-ROMs, Blu-ray drives, and CD-writers.

    Input Interfaces

    Touchpads, trackpads, and internal ribbon connectors.

    Acoustics

    Internal speakers, acoustic chambers, and sub-woofers.

    Cooling Systems (Optional)

    Heat sinks and centrifugal fans.

    Technical Methodology

    Each image has been manually audited to ensure high data quality. The labeling strategy employed via Label Studio ensures that even overlapping or partially obscured components are annotated with high precision — making the dataset robust for real-world "messy" environments like recycling centers.

    Description

    (i) Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), also known as e-waste, such as computers, televisions, fridges and mobile phones, is one the fastest growing waste streams in the EU. WEEE include precious materials the recycling of which should be enhanced. (ii) The indicator is calculated by multiplying the 'collection rate' as set out in the WEEE Directive with the 'reuse and recycling rate' set out in the WEEE Directive; where: o The 'collection rate' equals the volumes collected of WEEE in the reference year divided by the average quantity of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) put on the market in the previous three years (both expressed in mass unit). o The 'reuse and recycling rate' is calculated by dividing the weight of WEEE that enters the recycling/preparing for re-use facility by the weight of all separately collected WEEE (both in mass unit) in accordance with Article 11(2) of the WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU, considering that the total amount of collected WEEE is sent to treatment/recycling facilities. The indicator is expressed in percent (%) as both terms are measured in the same unit. (iii) EU Member States plus the United Kingdom, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (iv)

Description

What is e-waste? E-waste is electronic products that are near or at the end of their useful life and have been damaged. Computer, TV, copier, fax, etc. are among the products that we use on a daily basis.

Applying the best method to dispose of electronic devices is a challenge that the world has been facing since the 1970s, and today, electronic devices that are thrown away are much more than before, which are referred to as electronic waste.

In other words, e-waste is any used and broken electronic equipment that is thrown away and is very dangerous due to the toxic chemicals that naturally arise from the metals inside it when buried.

List of common e-waste items Home Appliances

microwave Home entertainment devices Electric ovens Heaters Fan Communication devices and information technology

Mobile phones Smart phones Desktop computers Computer monitor Laptop Hard disks Home entertainment devices

DVDs Televisions Video game systems Fax machines Copiers Printers Electronic Services

Massage chairs Heating pads Remote control TV remotes Electric cable Lamps Smart lights Night lights treadmill Smart watches Heart monitors Diabetes testing equipment Office and medical equipment

Copiers/printers IT servers wire and cable Wi-Fi dongles Dialysis machines Imaging equipment Telephone and central systems Audio and video equipment Network hardware (eg server, switch, hub, etc.) Power strips and power supplies Uninterruptible power supply (UPS systems) power distribution systems (PDU) autoclave shock device Today, with the advancement of technology and the high speed of introducing new products to the market, even healthy devices become obsolete after a while.

Think of the many VCR players that were replaced by the introduction of DVD players, and now DVD players with

Blu-ray players have been replaced.

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that up to 60 million tons of e-waste end up in landfills in the United States alone each year. E-waste is the starting point for the introduction of toxic substances into the environment

While the use of electronic devices is not dangerous for us in terms of having toxic substances, most electronic devices contain some types of toxic substances, including beryllium, cadmium, mercury and lead, which pose serious environmental risks to soil, water, air and life. They bring our beast with them.

The more e-waste and metals in landfills, the more these toxic substances seep into the groundwater.

The entry of these substances into the water severely harms the wildlife and causes the wildlife to become ill due to lead, arsenic, cadmium and other metals poisoning due to the high concentration of these minerals. What to do with electronic waste? Fortunately, there is a proven solution! E-waste recycling is very useful and efficient.

Recovering parts inside devices that are still valuable and providing recycled metals to manufacturers who can make new products

Using these parts is a very good solution.

It can be said that almost all electronic waste contains some kind of recyclable material, this includes materials such as plastic, glass and metals, etc., and for this reason, it may seem a little funny that these devices are called "garbage" in While it can be very useful.

Technological innovators continue to create electronic devices that make our lives easier and more convenient in every way imaginable, so in response to the question, "What is e-waste?" A good answer would be: "It depends."
