Resumen

El estudio examinó la concienciación y la usabilidad de una aplicación web destinada al reciclaje de residuos electrónicos en una población de estudio. Se encontró que la población tenía conocimientos mínimos sobre el reciclaje de desechos electrónicos, subrayando la falta general de concienciación sobre este tema. Sin embargo, la aplicación web en sí misma fue calificada como teniendo una usabilidad aceptable. Este hallazgo sugiere que, aunque la aplicación fue diseñada con eficacia y fue accesible para los usuarios, se requiere una mayor educación y concienciación sobre la importancia del reciclaje de dispositivos electrónicos. La falta de conocimiento subyacente podría limitar la adopción a largo plazo y el compromiso de los usuarios con prácticas de reciclaje sostenible. Por lo tanto, este estudio resalta la necesidad de programas educativos y campañas de concienciación más efectivas en el campo de la gestión de desechos electrónicos y subraya la importancia de mantener y mejorar la usabilidad de las aplicaciones web relacionadas con el reciclaje para garantizar una experiencia satisfactoria para los usuarios. La combinación de educación y usabilidad efectiva podría desempeñar un papel clave en la promoción de prácticas sostenibles y en la reducción del impacto ambiental de los desechos electrónicos a nivel global.
