“…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 the case of the business products (Agora, 2018;Dutch, 2010;Hashcash, 2019;Swachh coin Implementing zero-knowledge-proof methods to secure payment and transaction information, preserving privacy and implementing the improved system on a permissioned blockchain platform, such as Hyperledger Fabric.…”

“…Interestingly, in recent times, we are also witnessing the adoption of blockchain technology in e-waste management. A number of research proposals (Gupta and Bedi, 2018;Ongena et al, 2018;Saberi et al, 2018;Thada et al, 2019) and business products (Agora, 2018;Dutch, 2010;Hashcash, 2019;Swachh coin white paper, 2021;Crowe, 2017) exist in the literature. Although these research proposals use blockchain technology as a solution, but they lack in many aspects such as incomplete coverage of the product's life cycle, access control, payment channels (in few cases), incentive mechanisms, scalability issues and missing experimental validation.…”

“…Moreover, there is no proposal to use any IoT-driven devices to record e-waste collection. Thada et al (2019) proposed a blockchain-based cyber-physical solution for managing solid waste in a locality. Their proposed system consists of a database server, a blockchain network, embedded system-based clients and an Android app.…”

“…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. In Thada et al (2019), the blockchain-based solution aims to provide effective management of various activities related to solid waste and trash bins equipped with microcontrollers and sensors, which collect information about the status of trash bins and store them into a public blockchain. The proposed system consists of a database server, a blockchain network, embedded system-based clients and an Android app.…”

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.

“…Smart bins with IoT devices are also used in medical contexts to monitor water waste Waste management: a comprehensive state of the art about the rise of blockchain technology and sanitary waste in terms of quantity, tracking and disposal (Kassou et al, 2021). Furthermore, the use of IoT in waste bins is suggested to measure waste levels (Rotună et al, 2019;Sham et al, 2020b;Thada et al, 2019), to identify the waste type, to automatically sort and segregate it (Sahoo and Halder, 2020) and to debit fees to users linked to the garbage weight (Lamichhane et al, 2017;Utomo et al, 2020). Sandhiya and Ramakrishna (2020) developed a knowledge base for the IoT-enabled smart bins with the aim of reducing the conceptual ambiguities often found in the plastic industry.…”
