Consequently, the material flow in our proposed ICT waste management system begins when the product ends its
useful life and is disposed by the owner. Once it is disposed, it enters the collection process. There are four different
and common ways of collection; curb side, where the equipment is picked up from the owner’s place, special drop
off or permanent drop off events at retail shops or certain specifically designed sites, and point-of-purchase, where
the owner returns the product to the retail shop. Manufactures have also established ways to collect obsolete
equipment from the owner.
