We could better raise awareness and better manage e-waste recycling through more

creative approach such as recreation and school-based competitions. This would

directly engage the general public to participate, and it would also be a good platform to
further raise awareness of e-waste recycling.
One potential challenge is on how to c co-operate with the local volunteer organizations
to carry out the lessons and the challenges recycling.
Further research could be directed on how to carry e-waste recycling lessons and
possibly examples of lessons carried out by some of the volunteer organizations in
other nations.
Thus, we could try to run lessons and workshops with primary/secondary school
students. We could also teach them some of the simple decorations that is easily
makeable from electronic wastes. If possible, an inter-school e-waste creation
competition can be held so that students national-wide can be engaged to do create
their own e-waste decorations.

Furthermore, we could also cooperate with local universities such as NUS to provide
students internship opportunities about e-waste processing, this would help further raise
awareness of e-waste recycling.
The Source also suggests about possibilities to raise awareness for the youth, such as
providing internship opportunities and initiate creation competitions in local schools.

To promote creation with e-waste recycling, we could cooperate with the volunteer
organizations as well as the community centers to hold non-profit public lecturers/free
workshops in the public places such as library to demonstrate about different possible
creations. And it would be a great platform for the general public to engage hand on
creations themselves. This would in turn raise public awareness about e-waste
recycling.

Additionally, we could even setup national e-waste creation challenge, which would
draw greater public participation in e-waste recycling.

Furthermore, we could promote possible ways of recycling through social medias and
advertise the idea with famous person such as Lin. This would enable the idea to reach
more people and thus further increase awareness.
Thus, we could possibly cooperate similar volunteer organizations like zero-wasteSG in
Singapore and help promote e-waste through more creative ways such as re-creation.
We believe people would general be more passionate and supportive of these
measures, since these measures engage them directly and they would feel a sense of
accomplishment through hand-on creations. This would in turn further promotes
awareness of e-waste recycling among citizens.

The official website of GreenCitizen gives attractive ways for e-waste recycling and
reusing. One of the example that is applicable in Singapores context is to encourage
re-creation with the electronic wastes.
The source gives the example about a US-based non-profit organization which transfers
the electronic wastes to reusable electronic products. It is mentioned in the source that
The source provides accurate statistics and is purported by other sources. For example,
the source shows the overall recycling e-waste rate to be 27% 1 (as shown in the table
below). This is in accordance with the 29.2% given by the
ElectronTakebackCoalition(ETC).
The source demonstrates some successful e-waste recycling initiatives in the United
States. Given it is published in May 2013, the strategies it employs would largely be up
to date. It thus provides good examples of recycling methods that is applicable in
Singapores context.
