“…If this is not possible, waste should be reused, recycled, and then recovered for energy, while landfilling should be avoided. Accordingly, the tire EPR system should reduce the generation of tire waste, facilitate its reuse, promote recycling and other forms of material recovery and, finally, incentive the energy recovery, although LCA studies confirmed that the material recycling of tire waste provides greater environmental benefits than energy recovery [118,119,120].…”

Environmental contamination due to solid waste mismanagement is a global issue. Open dumping and open burning are the main implemented waste treatment and final disposal systems, mainly visible in low-income countries. This paper reviews the main impacts due to waste mismanagement in developing countries, focusing on environmental contamination and social issues. The activity of the informal sector in developing cities was also reviewed, focusing on the main health risks due to waste scavenging. Results reported that the environmental impacts are pervasive worldwide: marine litter, air, soil and water contamination, and the direct interaction of waste pickers with hazardous waste are the most important issues. Many reviews were published in the scientific literature about specific waste streams, in order to quantify its effect on the environment. This narrative literature review assessed global issues due to different waste fractions showing how several sources of pollution are affecting the environment, population health, and sustainable development. The results and case studies presented can be of reference for scholars and stakeholders for quantifying the comprehensive impacts and for planning integrated solid waste collection and treatment systems, for improving sustainability at a global level.

“…Corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues have long been recognized in the supply chain and operations management (SCOM) literature (Babich and Tang, 2012;Chen and Lee, 2016;Dhanorkar et al, 2018;Lampikoski et al, 2014;Porteous et al, 2015;Wilhelm et al, 2016) whereas one stream of research focused on whether and how CSR practice implementation could lead to superior corporate operational performances (Chen et al, 2015;Flammer, 2015;McWilliams and Siegel, 2000;Tang et al, 2012) and identifying critical contingency factors (e.g., corporate characteristics and external pressures) that may influence such linkage (Arora and Dharwadkar, 2011;Saeidi et al, 2015;Torugsa, O'Donohue and Hecker, 2012). Despite the disagreement on the effectiveness of CSR practice implementation on corporate operating performance, in the modern business world, no corporate needs to be convinced that maintaining CSR at an acceptable level is deemed legitimate for trading in domestic and international markets (Banguera et al, 2018;Tseng et al, 2018;Matten and Moon, 2008). This is because stakeholders such as regulators and customers increasingly require firms to maintain a certain level of CSR within their operations and across their extended supply chains.…”

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues in suppliers can affect the reputation of buyers or even result in supply chain disruption. Thus, buyer and supplier firms are urged to comply with CSR codes in a coordinated manner. In other words, multinational buyers are expected to extend CSR practices to their suppliers in emerging countries. This is particularly crucial when suppliers' CSR performance is screened under a regulatory agency's inspection regime. To this end, this study formulates an analytical model to understand the effects of buying firms' supportive schemes, i.e., technical assistance programmes, on their partner suppliers' CSR performance. Specifically, we develop a multi-period behavioural model to simulate a system consisting of multiple buyers and suppliers where the government regularly conducts inspections on suppliers' CSR performance. The results from the agent-based simulation analysis shed light on (1) how the dyadic risk preferences of suppliers and buyers affect suppliers' CSR performance; (2) how the gap between the perceived and actual CSR levels in a supplier interacts with the regulatory agency's tactics to influence suppliers' CSR performance; (3) the extent to which the overall suppliers' CSR performance improvement is attributable to the buyers' technical assistance programmes under the regulatory agency's inspection regime. This research contributes to the socially responsible supply chain management literature and provides innovative managerial insights for policy makers (e.g., CSR regulators) to promote CSR practices among suppliers.

“…At present, the use of this specific tool in the EU area refers to a variety of contexts and covers several products such as end‐of‐life vehicles, batteries, packaging, oils, graphic paper, and waste electrical and electronic equipment (European Commission, ). In relation to this, various works in the specific literature have deepened the understanding of how the EPR mechanism helps the management of specific types of wastes such as those related to end‐of‐life vehicles (Gerrard & Kandlikar, ; Santini et al, ; Xiang & Ming, ), waste electrical and electronic equipment (Bahers & Kim, ; Wang et al, ), packaging (Pires, Martinho, Ribeiro, Mota, & Teixeira, ; Rubio, Rodrigues Pereira Ramos, Rodrigues Leitao, & Barbosa‐Povoa, ), and tyres (Banguera, Sepulveda, Ternero, Vargas, & Vásquez, ; Milanez & Bührs, ). As for the agricultural sector, only eight countries in Europe have implemented national regulations on EPR schemes, particularly for plastic waste management, to meet the EU circular economy requirements (APE Europe, n.d., www.plastiques-agricoles.com).…”

After reviewing the main EU policy documents on the plastic waste issue, this work conceptualises an analysis framework to investigate farmers' attitudes to marketbased tools (i.e., subsidies, tax-credits, and payback mechanisms in extended producer responsibility schemes) through which the introduction of an operational scheme for a better management of their plastic waste can be incentivised in line with the 2018 European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy. A total number of 1,783 farmers responded to a purpose-built questionnaire. Results show that most of the plastic waste they produce is piping and packaging and that tax credit represents their most favoured incentivising tool.
