“…Countries with lower trade intensities may prioritize environmentally damaging economic activity to cover any economic gaps that may result from reduced trade volumes. However, in nations with larger trade intensities, priorities may shift toward ecologically-friendly behaviors, and potentially undoing the environmental degradation caused by trade (Addai et al, 2022). Additionally, lower-income nations are more prone to develop into pollution hotspotssince increased trade activity in these nations is thought to have detrimental consequences on environmental performance.…”

“…This is particularly troubling for global pollution, since it implies that, in addition to the economic effects on domestic businesses, abatement efforts will be somewhat negated and rising emissions will be shifted to other emerging countries due to company migration. Although, despite the reality of corporate resistance in the face of stringent regulation aimed at sustainable development, and in most cases, supported by neo-institutionalist and institutional theorists, in which they suggest that the after-effects of these regulations could be a panacea for environmental degradation (Addai et al, 2022).…”

In accord with the aim of achieving global sustainable development, the current article provides empirical evidence on the role of quality of governance, renewable energy consumption and official development assistance (ODA) in providing a successful outcome on ecological footprints. According to the ARDL model, renewable energy decreases the ecological footprint, and among the variables selected to represent quality of governance, only controlling corruption mitigates the ecological footprint, whereas regulatory quality, rule of law and ODA increase the ecological footprint. This is likely, as the current Djiboutian environmental legislation fails to accommodate the ecological issue, and because other underdeveloped sectors absorb the cumulative ODA, thus leaving for small sums to be allocated to environmental activities. Furthermore, the finding of the impulse response and the variance decomposition project was that all the variables have a collective ad-hoc shock on the ecological footprint by restraining the level of the human imprint on ecology; however, it takes significant time to transpire.

“…This paper proposes a study on the potential application of blockchain technology for incentivization schemes in e-waste collection. The motivation for this research stems from the successful implementation of similar incentivization schemes in e-waste management, as demonstrated in previous studies [23], and the subsequent works of [24][25][26][27]. In light of the data showing that a blockchain-based system that tracks e-products from the time they are first conceived all the way to their eventual decomposition into e-waste, and eventual recycling back into raw materials, generates interactions across numerous organizations [28] in which the risks associated with e-waste are mitigated, and the economy as a whole becomes circular [29].…”

The adoption of recycling and proper disposal techniques for electronic waste is crucial in advancing sustainable development. The traditional approaches of motivating people for collection of electronic waste are often insufficient due to inadequate methods reaching out, given incentives, calculating appropriate incentives associate to the task of gathering the electronic waste and a lack of transparency in the entire process. Insufficient collection of electronic waste could result in the release of numerous harmful substances into the environment. Prior research studies have been carried out to tackle the issue of electronic waste management in a broad sense. The findings of those studies indicated diverse strategies, each of which is relevant solely to a restricted range of electronic waste reprocessing circumstances. The current study has presented a proposed technique for incentivizing tasks and activities associated to collection of electronic waste through the adoption of vector space technique. Blockchain smart contact technology, has been used to implemented the strategy. The method used involves various well defined mapping of tasks, nature of activities, and their magnitude in order to derived an incentive. Some scenarios for the calculations of incentives are presented, and the findings reveals the based case is by utilizing weighting scale scheme where each tasks and activities are mapped to its associated inventive rather than providing fixed incentive values. Ethereum was used as digital token for each unit of incentive. This concept has contributed in encouraging personal accountability in the management of e-waste collection in order to cultivate sustainable behaviors for a long term solution.

The approaches of motivating people for the collection of electronic waste (e-waste) are often insufficient due to inadequate methods of given incentives. Prior research studies have been carried out to tackle the issue of e-waste management in a broad sense. The findings of those studies indicated diverse strategies, each of which is relevant solely to a restricted range of electronic e-waste reprocessing circumstances. The current study has presented a proposed technique for incentivizing tasks and activities associated with the collection of e-waste through the adoption of the vector space technique. The method this research undertakes lies with utilizing blockchain smart contract technology. The reason for selecting this approach lies with the mapping of tasks, the nature of activities, and their magnitude, in order to derived an incentive. While the vector space model defines the set of tasks with their corresponding incentives, blockchain smart contract maps them together and establishes them in a record. Experimental scenarios for the calculation of incentives are presented; the findings reveal that among many scenarios of allocating incentives for e-waste collection, the best case is by utilizing a weighting scale scheme where each task and activity is mapped to its associated incentive rather than providing fixed incentive values. Ethereum was used as a digital token for each unit of incentive. This concept has contributed in encouraging personal accountability in the management of e-waste collection in order to cultivate sustainable behaviors for a long-term solution.
