“…A detrimental environmental impact was the most important driver for the households willing to recycle municipal solid waste. It was also established that a moderate to positive relationship exists between households' perception of financial incentives and drivers for household willingness to recycle municipal solid waste (Abila, 2018). In the Nigerian construction industry, recycling is adopted as one of the waste disposal methods in Lagos.…”

The call for a transition to a green economy has been a recurring issue in Nigeria for over a decade. However, there was limited focus on the relationship between waste recycling and the green economy in previous studies. This study explores the nexus between waste recycling and the green economy, examining how waste recycling can be leveraged to foster a green economy in Nigeria. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, and relevant literature from secondary data sources and context were analyzed. The results indicate that waste recycling has not been fully embraced in Nigeria, especially at the household level. Therefore, waste recycling is primarily driven by the informal sector and entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the study reveals the diverse opportunities available through implementing a green economy. It recommends a green economy policy that promotes equity, economic incentives for household waste recycling, and support for entrepreneurs interested in partnering with the government.

“…Regarding local authorities wishing to implement a recycling incentive scheme, the report advises that there is no 'one size fits all' ideal solution, and each authority must first and foremost consider the barriers to recycling it needs to overcome. Moving to a different context, namely Nigeria, the same author conducted a similar study [24], asserting the hypothesis that incentives for recycling are vital for reducing and managing municipal solid waste sustainably. While most survey-based studies ask for perceptions, motivations, and behaviours, few use the surveying operation to ask for recommendations and solutions.…”

The recycling target for plastics is expected to increase Europe-wide from 22.5% to 55% by 2025, hence the relevance of incentive schemes and the need to reach conclusions about how to encourage families to recycle more. Following this objective, a pilot project was implemented and a virtual reward token called RECICLOS created to encourage recycling among families, using incentives and awards to improve recycling behaviour and a webapp prototype to register the recycled plastic. By the end of the 6-week pilot project, 1053 families were registered on the scheme, representing 10% of the targeted population in the pilot area of the county of Pla de l’Estany, Catalonia, Spain. The novelties were the introduction of a token, the gamification of incentives through raffles and lotteries, webapp-based direct communication with citizens, and feedback after collecting and registering the recycled material. The multidimensional aspects of recycling activities, their strong relation with human behavioural patterns, and the high demand for communication and interaction mean that mobile technologies find significant application in this field. The results show that people can be influenced and their recycling habits changed by means of varied, effective, and innovative incentive schemes.

“…Municipal waste management authorities do not have relevant data (Nnaji, 2015). The absence of a formal recycling platform is another challenge to recycling of waste (Abila, 2018;Nnaji, 2015). Hence reliable data on recycling rate are not available.…”

Jätehuollon radikaali muutos voidaan saavuttaa soveltamalla tietojohtamisen työkaluja ja lähestymistapoja. Tässä väitöskirjassa kehitettiin käsitteellinen viitekehys tietojohtamisen soveltamiseksi kunnallisten ja muiden jätteiden hallintaan. Väitöskirja ehdottaa myös ratkaisuja kunnallisten jätteiden ongelmiin, arvioi jätehuollon merkitystä ympäristön kestävyydelle, tarkastelee taloudellisten kannustimien merkitystä jätteiden kierrätykselle Suomessa sekä käsitystä taloudellisista kannustimista jätteiden kierrätykseen Nigeriassa. Tämä väitöskirja koostuu kuudesta artikkelista, joissa on käytetty eri tutkimusmenetelmiä tutkimuskysymyksiin vastaamiseksi. Työssä on käytetty sekä laadullisia että määrällisiä tutkimusmenetelmiä.Tutkimuksessa esitetään käsitteellinen viitekehys jätehuollolle sekä käsitteellinen viitekehys tietojohtamiselle jätehuollossa. Tutkimus ehdottaa ratkaisuja jätehuollon ongelmiin uudenlaisesta näkökulmasta. Väitöskirja perustelee käsitteellisen jätehuollon viitekehyksen kautta holistista näkökulmaa nykyaikaisen jätehuollon määritelmäksi.Tutkimus osoitti, että jätehuollon tietojohtamisessa on aukkoja, ja suosittelee tietojohtamisen holistista soveltamista kestävään jätehuoltoon.Tutkimus tarjoaa perustan jatkotutkimuksille tietojohtamisen soveltamisesta jätehuoltoon.
