According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An Optimal E-Waste Collection through Incentivized Deposits Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning-Based Quality Assessment 2.Abstract Electronic waste (e-waste) poses significant environmental and health hazards, necessitating effective collection and management strategies. Incentivizing e-waste deposits through utility vouchers has shown promise in promoting responsible disposal practices. However, ensuring accurate assessment of e-waste quality is crucial for fair reward distribution. This research proposes a novel approach to enhance e-waste collection by leveraging machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models for quality assessment, thereby generating utility vouchers based on the device's condition. Keywords Electronic waste, Incentivized collection, Machine learning, Deep learning, Quality assessment, Utility vouchers."
