“…In particular, a high organic fraction had a strong impact on separate MSW collection due to the characteristics of MSW in Apulia. Consistent with other parts of the world [ 59 , 65 , 66 ], the organic fraction is one of the main product fractions of MSW (about 19% in Apulia per 2018 Waste Observatory data).…”

Municipal solid waste (MSW) must be managed to reduce its impact on environmental matrices and population health as much as possible. In particular, the variables that influence the production, separate waste collection, and costs of MSW must be understood. Although many studies have shown that such factors are specific to an area, the awareness of these factors has created opportunities to implement operations to enable more effective and efficient MSW management services, and to specifically respond to the variables that have the most impact. The deep learning approaches used in this study are effective in achieving this goal and can be used in any other territorial context to ensure that the organizations that deal with these issues are more aware and create useful plans to promote the circular economy. Our findings indicate the important influence of number of rooms in a residential buildings and construction years on MSW production, the combination of services such as municipal collection centers and door-to-door service for separate MSW collection and the characteristics of the residential buildings in the municipalities on MSW management costs.

“…Hence, a successful replacement of mixed waste collection with source segregation requires a medium to long-term informal education of dustbin users, which should be intensified on the first and fourth days of implementation. The economic gains in putting-in-place the source separation system provides a bedrock for the sustainability of the waste management practice [44].…”

The inefficient collection of solid wastes is a global phenomenon that has received attention in recent years for the ever-increasing annual waste generation records. However, indicators to the effective application of the amassing routs are missing. Hence, the generally accepted source-sorting model was explored to identify the determinants that will enhance source separation of wastes at the workplace. This paper presents a foremost report on the indicators to an effective operation of solid wastes source segregation. A quantitatively examined data was collected in sixty-six working days during a monitoring and evaluation process of twenty sets of twin-dustbins that were located at the study area. The generated solid wastes were commonly sorted (65%) in comparison with the mixed collection. Most of the wastes were separated on the third month (80%) of education compared to the first (54%) and second months (61%). Wednesday displayed the working day with the utmost sorted wastes (73%) compared to the other days. All dustbins recorded impressive sorting at the different locations in the Institute. A little over one thousand Ghana cedis savings was made in the first year. Tested null hypothesis showed that, duration and timing of continuous education were significant determinants of the efficient source segregation, relative to the dustbin locations. Therefore, the daily education of waste generators on how to separate wastes at source and the economic benefits will enhance source separation irrespective of the location.

“…The archetypical roles are keep, bring, consign, and abandon obsolete resources. As opposed to research on business models (Bocken et al, 2016;Tukker, 2004) and consumer behaviour (Maletz, 2017;Wastling et al, 2018) in the circular economy, this work aimed first at identifying the flow of resources and then deriving the contributions that have to be made by consumers to establish those flows. This work confirms that consumers' roles are critical in closing resource loops (Breen, 2006;Charnley et al, 2015) and provides new understanding of how such roles are integrated in PSSs.…”

Archetypical consumer roles in closing the loops of resource flows for Fast-Moving Consumer Goods

After the depletion of their consumable components, Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCGs) become obsolete. In an attempt to close the loop of resources (i.e. products, components or materials) FMCGs can be designed with revalorisation services. In these product-service systems (PSSs) consumers are assigned a key role in closing the loops of resource flows. To understand and define this role, we dissected eighteen examples of PSSs. From this analysis, four dimensions emerged that characterise distinct aspects of the PSSs: the form of obsolescence; the change of resources from obsolete to operative or recoverable; the prerequisite activities required of consumers for revalorisation; and the facilitators of activities (i.e. investments and incentives). These dimensions were used to model four data-driven archetypical roles of consumers named after the interaction between consumers and the resource in the obsolete state, namely keep, bring, consign or abandon obsolete components. The research concluded that revalorisation always takes place in designated locations. The roles that consumers fulfil in closed-loop PSSs involve carrying out activities to position resources in such locations. The roles always come at a cost, but PSSs can be designed to reduce it. PSSs can also be designed to induce a perceivable value of obsolete resources, which can be used to increase role fulfilment. This research presents a comprehensive understanding of the roles of consumers in the specific context of closed-loop FMCGs, identifies tactics to increase the fulfilment of these roles and suggests further research on behaviours and PSSs to understand the roles of other stakeholders in various type of PSSs. 'prepare' Add a collection-and-return product or refill consumable. 'purchase' Make payment. 'become owner' Take home, receive or go to FMCG. 'stock' Keep inventory of operative resources. Use stage 'remove' Unpack for consumption (removed parts are not revalorised). 'prepare' Assemble FMCG or refill consumable. 'consume' Deplete consumable components. 'maintain' Extend lifetime of affected resources. Disposal stage 'remove' Disassemble and remove residue consumables (removed parts are not revalorised). 'stock' Keep inventory of obsolete resources. 'prepare' Assemble parcels of obsolete resources and/or plan and remember to take them into transit. 'transit' Move obsolete resources to designated locations. 'detach' Deposit or abandon obsolete resource.
