• Abstract:

  The World’s Growing Urban Population Is Leading To An Increase In The Generation Of Waste, With Electronic Waste (e-waste) Being One Of The Fastest-growing Waste Categories. Improper Disposal Of E-waste Presents Severe Environmental And Health Risks. This Report Explores The Integration Of Blockchain Technology Into E-waste Management Systems Within Smart Cities. By Utilizing Blockchain's Inherent Qualities Such As Transparency, Traceability, And Decentralization, The System Enhances Accountability In Managing E-waste. It Proposes A System That Tracks Waste Throughout Its Lifecycle, From Generation To Disposal, Ensuring That All Stakeholders Involved In The Process Are Accountable. The System Uses Secure Data Standards Such As The Data Encryption Standard (DES) Algorithm For Data Protection And Incorporates Smart Contracts For Automation. The Proposed Solution Not Only Aims At Reducing The Environmental Impact Of E-waste But Also Provides An Efficient And Scalable Approach To Waste Management In Urban Areas
