abstract = "The exponential growth of e-waste contributes to a rapid increase in the amount of e-waste contaminants in landfills. In this study, the waste produced from the recycling of mobile phones will be quantified, highlighting the driving factors that affect the amount of waste reaching landfills. A system dynamics approach was adopted to understand the flow of mobile phone e-waste in an e-waste recycling facility in Malaysia. The analysis found that the efficiency of mobile phone PCBs' precious metals recovery is 13.62%. The analysis also demonstrated that public awareness has the greatest impact in reducing contaminants.",
