Aileen Gabriela Susiana PEMANFAATAN E-WASTE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD MENJADI ARMATUR LAMPU

Abstract

Electronic Waste, abbreviated as E-waste, is a product of no longer used electronic devices. E-waste also
considered as dangerous, as it contains 2,70% of toxic substances. The sheer amount of electronic waste
produced by citizens of Indonesia alone means that any semblance of effort is needed to process these
wastes into something which has usage and economic value. Printed Circuit Board or shorten as PCB is a
component structure of an electronic devices, unused electronic devices still has PCB left intact inside of
them, which make PCB also an electronic waste. This design was done to reuse E-waste, in this case is PCB
into an interior accessory. Other than reducing the amount of electronic waste in our vicinity, this design has
another goal to increase the ingeniousness of the human resources who are going to realize the design into the
final product, also to teach and engage the public to develop a more creative way of thinking in solving
environmental problems of our vicinity. The final product of this design is a lamp armature made of PCBs. The
surface of PCB has intricate pattern and a futuristic look to it, which when processed into an interior accessory
could increase the visual esthetic of a room. Lamp armature itself has many variations, and the chosen variant
for this design is table lamp, and the lamp will be able to be placed on a nightstand and act as a sleep lamp.
To strengthen the armature structure, black painted iron was used as a place where the PCB will be arranged
and the lamp placed. BMC (Business Model Canvas) was used to analyze the market and to help the marketing
of the lamp armature. This lamp armature was designed to prove that even an electronic waste such as
PCB able to retain economic and usage value.
