“…This knowledge is consistent with the literature ( Puigvert, 2020 , Walls, 2011 , Zhou et al, 2020 ) who reported successful implementation of DRS in many countries. Considering the mixed knowledge about the scheme, some important areas require more clarity for the scheme to be attractive.…”

“…While the proposed scheme in Scotland is focusing on plastic bottles and beverage cans, many products including beverage containers, lead-acid batteries, tires, electronic waste, and other hazardous materials are included in different countries ( Walls, 2011 , Zhou et al, 2020 ). In general, the comments suggest that people who have adequate knowledge of how the scheme works are more likely to engage effectively in the scheme, be optimistic about the scheme, and support the scheme.…”

“…DRS may affect the behaviour of consumers and businesses (producers and retailers) ( Kulshreshtha and Sarangi, 2001 ) with the potential to create an informal recycling sector. Although there is a dearth of empirical research on behaviour towards DRS ( i Puigvert et al, 2020 ), there have been efforts to highlight its economic and operational advantage over other waste collection options ( Linderhof et al, 2019 , Zhou et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Studies ( Lavee, 2010 , Zhou et al, 2020 ) have shown the potential of DRS in preventing waste generation and increase the reprocessing of single-use containers, such as plastics and cans. An understanding of plastics production, distribution and consumption may provide comprehensive knowledge about the consequences of plastics.…”

“…Consumers’ involvement throughout the value chain of plastics is mandatory to eliminate the consequences of plastics production and consumption. This may require a better understanding of consumers’ perceptions and emotions towards plastic waste to predict the effectiveness of DRS ( Puigvert, 2020 , Zhou et al, 2020 ). As a result, this study was designed to explore consumers’ perceptions and sentiments concerning the introduction of DRS in Scotland.…”

Highlights Online platforms are now an effective tool for marketing and policy development. Consumers’ emotions and opinions are important for interventions to be effective. Clarity about DRS including its operations is required to enhance participation. A UK-wide scheme with similar operations and structure should be introduced. DRS may not contribute to sustainability rather it might increase pollution.

Circular disruption: Digitalisation as a driver of circular economy business models

New circular business models can evolve at all stages of the life cycle of a product. Digitalisation can drive disruptive innovations, new business models and novel ways of collaboration and thus can accelerate the economic transition to more resource‐efficient and circular production systems. Yet, there is little empirical research on the enabling role of digitalisation for a circular economy. To address this gap, this paper investigates the role of digitalisation in facilitating circular business models, based on the empirical analysis of a data set of 599 German manufacturing firms and 296 industrial service providers. While relatively few German firms rely on new business models to foster their resource efficiency strategy, we find this share higher for companies with a strong digital focus in the manufacturing sector. This suggests that digitalisation can indeed be a driving force for the implementation of circular business models.

Reconciling Waste Management and Ecological Economics

This chapter provides a discussion of the concept of “circular economy” and how it conflicts with some of the systemic views coming from ecological economics: material and energy flows, thermodynamics and so on. The policy context in relation to waste management is presented, with focus on the European Union and on municipal solid waste. The chapter highlights the importance of separate collection, pointing to high-efficiency source separation models (such as door-to-door collection or pay-as-you-throw), as well as the importance of quality when dealing with biowaste to obtain high-quality compost, and with recyclables, to prevent downcycling. The chapter specially focuses on the relevance of aligning the environmental and the economic costs of the different waste management options. In this sense, it discusses several instruments such as landfill and incineration taxes, environmental taxes on certain products, extended producer responsibility, deposit-refund schemes, or fee-rebate schemes. The chapter concludes by identifying some areas in which ecological economics can help to understand how and why waste is generated, as well as informing the design of waste management policies.
