Summary of the thesis results: E-waste is an inevitable product of modern society, it appears anywhere and everywhere in our society. E-waste is a complex of many chemicals, toxic metals and values, controlling the flow of e-waste is not easy from local to central levels. E-waste is responsible for the problems of soil, water, and air pollution when it is treated and buried without proper procedures and technology. (For example, burning e-waste can generate dioxin, which is toxic to humans and the ecosystem). The use of e-waste must be in an effort to reduce emissions. When emissions are reduced to zero, it is an absolute prevention. The management of e-waste by state agencies is still limited when there is no system of policy documents regulating this waste. Enterprises always want to maximize profits regardless of whether e-waste is toxic or valuable, it is always considered an asset to the enterprise. The community currently does not have full awareness of the current and future impacts of e-waste, so there are no positive actions in handling e-waste. Environmental conflicts arising from e-waste between the state, enterprises and the community are at the initial stage and have not caused extremely serious consequences, but are enough to call for responsible action from relevant parties. The barriers identified in the study include: - The policy system on electronic and electrical waste is not specific, lacks consistency and transparency - Limitations in the capacity to implement policies on electronic and electrical waste management - Limitations of social resources in resolving environmental conflicts caused by electronic and electrical waste - Negative impacts of implicit institutions on efforts to resolve environmental conflicts caused by electronic and electrical waste - Conflicts of interest between social groups in resolving environmental conflicts caused by electronic and electrical waste - Deviations of sustainable ethics in the responsibility of state institutions to resolve environmental conflicts caused by electronic and electrical waste - Deviations of sustainable ethics in the responsibility of market institutions to resolve environmental conflicts caused by electronic and electrical waste - Deviations of sustainable ethics in the responsibility of community institutions to resolve environmental conflicts caused by electronic and electrical waste It is important to emphasize here that e-waste should not be considered as waste but should be considered as a resource. Raw materials require a specific technology to be used to recreate new technological products to meet the increasing demands of modern life. Stakeholders need to overcome barriers to have a proper attitude towards the environment, contributing to building a society that achieves sustainable ethics as a solid foundation for a developed, prosperous and sustainable society in the future.

Summary of the findings of the thesis: (Summarize them with stress on the new findings, if any) E-waste is a product of the modern society, it is everywhere in the world. E-waste is complicated chemical compound of toxic and precious substances. It is not easy to control e-waste flow from groundswells to the government. E-waste may cause serious health and pollution problems in terms of air, water and soil when it is not treated in the right way and suitable technology. It is necessary to recycle or reuse e-waste in reasonable management, which can reduce pollution, if pollution is zero, it is absolutely secured. The stakeholders are viewed in the findings: - Limitation in ability of making and implementing environmental policy on e-waste - Lack of resources in solving the environmental conflict from e-waste - The negative impact of implicit institutions on solving the environmental conflict from e-waste - Beneficial conflict among in solving the environmental conflict from e-waste - Deviation from the norm of sustainable ethics of government in solving the environmental conflict from e-waste - Deviation from the norm of sustainable ethics of business in solving the environmental conflict from e-waste - Deviation from the norm of sustainable ethics of community in solving the environmental conflict from e-waste We should know that, e-waste is not simple waste, it can be considered as material, which requires typical technology to create new productions that satisfy customers' incredible demands in the modern society. The most important is that the stakeholders should overcome the barriers to have good attitude toward the environment, which participate to help people acquire sustainable ethics. This is a strong/crucial foundation to build a developed, prosperous sustainable society in the future.
