Abstract

The present research utilizes the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) analytical technique to elucidate the intricate network of barriers impeding the effective recycling of electronic waste (e-waste) in Seremban, Malaysia. Through an analysis of the causal linkages among seven prominent barriers, this study provides insights into the interrelated nature of these issues and puts forward feasible remedies. The research identifies “Lack of Awareness” as a primary causative factor that impacts many barriers, including restricted collecting accessibility, worries over data security, and the high expenses associated with recycling. The results of the study include specific approaches, such as the implementation of extensive awareness initiatives, the provision of financial incentives, the improvement of infrastructure, and the enforcement of regulations. The study furthermore proposes potential areas for future investigation, including examining social and economic ramifications, technical advancements, and utilizing sophisticated theoretical frameworks such as fuzzy set theory and neutrosophic set extensions. These paths of inquiry aim to enhance recycling procedures and foster the adoption of sustainable practices.
