E-Waste Management

Have you notice that our environment is worthy polluted? Aside from trashes, plastics and bottles scattered everywhere, what do you think other factors that contributing for destruction of our environment? Can we manage to make a solution and address those problems? Yesterday our professor in Entrepreneurial Minds give us a task to think a business plan related to our course.

I don't know that we have this task since my group mates didn't remind me. We are all noob in the group that's why I'm worried if we can pass this subject. As we discuss in 9ur group chat they jokingly said to establish a business plan regarding junkshop.

I ride on their trips then search on Google what may be the possible business plan that we can choose then I encounter a E-waste management which is also a good business to earn a profit. I realize that it's also related to our course. I immediately tel out to my group mates and they agree on it. I search what are the purpose of E-waste management and the status of it in Philippines.

I notice that there's no given attention to E-waste. Let us first discuss the definition of E-waste, E-waste is those appliances, gadgets and electronic that doesn't work and already consider as trash. Usually people are just throwing them everywhere that leads to lots of serious issues. Those E-waste takes thousands of years before fully decomposed since the parts are composed of metals and other elements.

It also composed of harmful substances like Lead, Mercury, Lithium, etc that is harmful on human health, once consumed or inhaled it may leads to serious illness or worst death. I notice that the government doesn't give enough attention to E-waste without knowing that it's more dangerous other than trash can be found everywhere.

Only private companies care for E-waste by establishing an area which people can throw their old and not working electronic devices but I don't know what companies do to those E-waste. I need to do more research since I only knew the basics when I present it to the class. Even the citizen doesn't care about their E-waste sometimes they combine it to other trashes then the dump truck will deliver to garbage mountains.

Citizens have no proper knowledge on how to disposed the E-waste properly. They even left it on the road and let someone took it. As we all know that electronic devices and appliances are composed of important things that people can disengage to sell like copper wires that had huge value per kilo.

That's the reason why I choose this business plan to build a shop about E-waste management for us to help in community and also to earn an income. Our business plan is efficient and eco-friendly since we can help to reduce the numbers of E-waste in the world and also we can help to clean the environment. The business plan that we had is not fully establish.

My other classmates made a business plan about prototype products that they can sell to the market once it was made. They have also eco-friendly ideas which is good, it shows that they gonna make those prototypes and sell to the market but once it had defects or no longer functioning then our shops will accept those destroyed prototypes so that it won't get thrown that may affect the environment.

Actually my plan is to help the community without gaining any profits as long as we can help but it's Entrepreneurial subject and we all know that it involves profit that's why I need do a research how to earn on E-waste management. I know there's a way and I'm gonna look for it. I'm just worried on my group mates since some of them always absent and some are not active in class specially in activities.

Im wishing that they will cooperate as we do our business business and I know we gonna suffer at defense. I don't knowwhy professors really like to do a defense. I can feel the pressure of academic now I hope I won't get stress out of it. I need to focus but I won't forget to publish an article each day.
