“…Therefore, the study highlights the various opportunities presented by blockchain technology in the effective management of diverse waste categories, including solid waste, e-waste, medical waste, and industrial waste. The work of Sambare et al [20] underscores the necessity of employing digital tokens in the realm of waste management at large, and that this area of inquiry has yet to be extensively investigated. This study has identified the potential of digital tokens as a means to facilitate the efficient management of various waste categories, including e-waste.…”

“…It is noteworthy to mention that the aforementioned literature [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] primarily centers on the management of e-waste. However, the implementation of a specific formal and consistent incentive flow methodology for practical purposes has not been extensively examined.…”

“…The rationale behind the adoption of Ethereum pertains to the prevalent utilization of its intrinsic digital currency, Ether (ETH), for the purposes of tokenization and crowdfunding. The platform affords developers the opportunity to generate their own tokens and execute initial coin offerings (ICOs) or initial exchange offerings (IEOs) as a means of procuring capital for their initiatives [20].…”

Electronic Waste Collection Incentivization Scheme Based on the Blockchain

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.
