Dr Uchenna OGBONNAYA organized an insightful field visit to WEEE·PARK for the EPHM7050 course. Students gained first-hand exposure to the end-to-end journey of waste electrical and electronic equipment—from collection and sorting to data security, safe dismantling, material recovery, and environmental controls.
Key takeaways:
• How e-waste is processed responsibly and traceably
• Data wiping and compliance practices for ICT equipment
• Worker safety, risk assessment, and environmental monitoring on site
• Circular economy and extended producer responsibility in action
• Practical links between course concepts and real-world operations
Big thanks to the hosting team for the guided tour and discussions, and to all students for their active participation. Stay tuned for more experiential learning activities.
