Empowering the circular economy practices: Lifecycle assessment and machine learning-driven residual value prediction in IoT-enabled microwave oven.

In an era of resource scarcity and environmental concerns, integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technology into the circular economy (CE), particularly for household appliances like microwaves, is crucial. The lack of systematic assessment of their post-use residual values often reduces utilization and shortens lifespans. Inadequate disposal and management contribute to electronic waste and environmental pollution.
