In today's technological age, the issue of e-waste management is becoming increasingly critical. Although several studies have detected and proposed innovative technologies to both enable increase recycling performance, end users often dispose obsolete products inappropriately. The present work aimed at investigating criteria that influence user behavior regarding recycling, starting from seven (i.e., intention recycle e-waste, awareness importance environmental concern, attitudes towards subjective norms, intention, WTP for recycling) identified in literature as most relevant. A questionnaire administered students, interviews academic experts, analytical techniques descriptive statistics, analytic hierarchy process, econometric regression) were used identify relevant recycling. With willingness pay (WTP) a reference criterion, remaining six investigated variables, with aim uncovering relations among them determining which had significant impact on WTP. results revealed individuals strong pro-social more aware need e-waste. Furthermore, those who disposed waste correctly specialized centers recycle. study highlights raising group level promote disposal social norm.

The rapid development of population, urbanization, and industrialization increase the consumption modern products that generate electronic waste (e-waste) globally. Efforts to overcome e-waste in context circular economy exist, but a lack agreement among researchers practitioners' challenges how best measure success economy. This study aims address critical factors (CSFs) assess maturity levels urban mining. Maturity mining are developed by employing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) derive from well CSFs executed. level is modeled adding all scores KPIs aligned with CSFs. Automatic Content Analysis used extract keywords interpret relationship form initial set related articles on management. These further analyzed subject experts using facet analysis construct line experts' score determines mining: initial, emerging, developing, established, mature. From experiment, we found seven 34 indicators KPIs. Three countries (Indonesia, India, Japan) were as trials assessment level. Indonesia's considered emerging 54, same reflected India. With 114, Japan has reached an established stage. Furthermore, results can be guidance choose prioritize SDGs. According identified, successful implementation sustainable play important roles promoting sustainability goals, especially including SDG 9, 11, 12, 13, 17, 7, 6, 8.
