Decision Support Engine Logic
REUSE: If condition is Good (score 7–10) and age is 5 years or less.
REUSE (Energy warning): If condition is Good (score 7–10) and age is greater than 5 years.
REPAIR: If condition is Fair (score 4–6) and repair cost is less than 40% of replacement cost.
RECYCLE: If condition is Fair (score 4–6) and repair cost is 40% or more of replacement cost, or if condition is Poor (score 2–3).
SAFE DISPOSAL: If condition is Hazardous (score 1) or contains hazardous materials.
Stakeholder Responsibilities
Corporate IT Department
Inventory audits, physical condition evaluation, data entry, secure hardware decommissioning.
Purchasing & Procurement
Budget approval, hardware replenishment audits, certified recycler vendor alignment.
Sustainability & ESG Office
Reporting environmental compliance metrics, tracking organizational green targets.
Department Managers
Filing decommissioning notices for outdated office/lab assets, safe logistics handover.
Certified Recyclers
Eco-friendly disposal operations, heavy metal extraction, providing safe destruction audit logs.
Employees & Users
Extending device care, returning devices upon cycle completion, participating in recycling campaigns.
Practical Deployment Considerations
Technical Feasibility
Lightweight, frontend-only design. Can be compiled into a static client and deployed on GitHub Pages, S3, or any internal server dashboard. PapaParse library allows processing large datasets (10,000+ items) right in the browser.
Enterprise Scalability
For large organizations, this can be integrated with existing IT asset management systems (like ServiceNow, Jamf, or Microsoft Intune) via standard API mappings to fetch assets in real time.
Privacy & Data Security
Data remains local to the browser and is not uploaded to any remote server, ensuring high corporate confidentiality. Storage units must undergo certified degaussing/data wiping protocols before physical release.
Operational Costs
Practically free software hosting. Core cost considerations are administrative training for condition ratings, acquisition of specialized sorting containers, and licensing certified external e-waste handlers.
System Limitations
Dependent on manual input accuracy unless integrated with asset agents. Does not live-track physical degradation unless paired with battery/hardware diagnostics agents.
Stakeholder Impact
Provides carbon metrics for corporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reports, helping executive leadership make sustainable hardware procurement choices and audit waste flows.
