Abstract

This study aimed to use the cost-benefit method to extract gold from electronic waste, by benefiting from the previous experiences of other countries in this field. A statement on the use of gold for electronic waste. Statement of benefit from other countries. The research methodology depends on the use of a 10-year cross-sectional time series from 2010 to 2020 for the study variables. Data analysis was conducted using the spss program through the correlation coefficient (Pearson) and the relative and multiple regression coefficient and the use of the prediction method to know future changes of the study variables to the presence of a statistically significant difference from the production Gold from electronic waste and the actual production cost of gold from mines, which amounted to “T” (2.796) at a function level less than (.05)We found that the cost of gold produced from electronic waste is less than the cost of extracting gold from the mine. Some wastes are filtered with royal water and this study will affect the national wealth of Egypt and the economy. The research recommends conducting more applied research that depends on the cost-benefit method. And benefits from the experiences of developed countries in recycling electronic waste, through recent articles and conferences.
