“…However, the proposal suffers from a number of limitations due to the lack of proper validation of participants in the network, absence of profound access control and missing payment channels. On the other hand, the blockchain-based HWT management system proposed in Song et al (2021) lacks in the evaluation of its practical effectiveness as a proof of concept. The prime focus of Thada et al (2019) is to perform coordinated actions by several municipality workers using blockchain according to the states of the deployed trash bins (under cleaning, already cleaned, full, etc.).…”

“…In addition, the proposal introduced an optimization model for determining the quantity of waste traded between suppliers and consumer companies. Song et al (2021) proposed a blockchain-based Hazardous waste transfer (HWT) management system, which provides a solution to overcome challenges such as illegal dumping and statistical fraud. This enables government regulators to obtain relevant information on HWT as a way to improve the management of hazardous waste and to mitigate the associated challenges.…”

Purpose The rapid technological growth, changes in consumer demands, products’ built-in obsolescence, presence of more non-repairable parts, shorter lifespan, etc., lead to the generation of e-waste at an unprecedented rate. Although a number of research proposals and business products to manage e-waste exist in the literature, they lack in many aspects such as incomplete coverage of product’s life cycle, access control, payment channels (in few cases), incentive mechanisms, scalability issues, and missing experimental validation. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel blockchain-based e-waste management system aiming to mitigate the above-mentioned downsides and limitations of the existing proposals. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes a robust and reliable e-waste management system by leveraging the power of blockchain technology, which captures the complete life cycle of e-products commencing from their manufacturing as new products to their disposal as e-waste and their recycling back into raw materials. Findings While the use of blockchain technology increases accountability, transparency and trust in the system, the proposal overcomes various challenges and limitations of the existing systems by providing seamless interactions among various agencies. Originality/value This paper presents a prototype implementation of the system as a proof-of-concept using solidity on the Ethereum platform and this paper performs experimental evaluations to demonstrate its feasibility and effective performance in terms of execution gas cost and transaction throughput.
