Electronic waste (e-waste) and plastic pollution are growing crises in urban townships, yet much discarded hardware contains functional parts, lithium cells, and usable materials. The "E-Trash to Treasure" Lab is a mobile, solar-powered workbench built into a heavy-duty cargo tricycle or portable kit.
​It travels between local community markets, schools, and recycling drop-offs to deliver two core functions:

​Community Repair Cafés: Free on-the-spot repair for small appliances, solar lights, and phones to keep electronics out of landfills and extend hardware lifespans.

​Micro-Recycling Workshops: Teaching youth how to safely extract reusable components (like 18650 battery cells from broken laptops) to build DIY solar power banks, LED lanterns, and upcycled plastic items.

​By combining direct landfill diversion with hands-on circular economy education, the project transforms toxic local waste into low-cost renewable power tools for everyday households.
