“…To obtain a more efficient waste management system, it is required to ensure the efficient consumption of materials at all stages of their lifecycles. This life cycle is divided into two categories: before usage (extraction and production) and after usage (disposal and recycling) (Du et al 2020 ). To this aim, a waste hierarchy is needed which shows the waste management options based on the desirable priority.…”

Circular Economy: a Comparison Between the Case of Singapore and France

Nowadays, due to the continuous developments in economies, various dilemmas are emerging, including energy demand, waste management, and greenhouse gas emissions (GHE). A promising approach to address these issues is a transition toward a circular economy (CE), and one of its successful approaches is the waste-to-energy (WTE). By exploiting WTE, there will be less demand for raw materials and resources. In this study, two developed countries, including France and Singapore, are evaluated based on their CE transition using the WTE method. Both countries are developing rapidly in terms of a successful CE. Reducing landfills as the major problem in Singapore is one of the most vital plans in their CE project. The planned target in Singapore is reducing landfill by 30% by 2030. Furthermore, Singapore aims for reaching a 70% recycling rate by 2050. On the other hand, the CE in France includes more comprehensive laws in four different sectors, such as production, consumption, waste management, and mobilizing actors. It is planned that by 2025, the recycling rate in France will reach 100%. A roadmap toward building a CE cannot be succeeded unless some practical strategies are developed for overcoming the encountered obstacles. The roadmap of both countries shows a specific milestone to reach a better CE, cleaner environment, and less use of natural resources. Most of the Singapore sustainable plans are planned to be caught by 2030, while France is trying to complete them by 2025. It should be noted that due to the current pandemic situation caused by COVID-19, there are some issues in implementing the obligations and plans thoroughly.

“…Besides, media supplement the government's supervisory role, reducing the cost of supervision. In this case, we assume that the government's supervision cost is C 3 , the loss of manufacturing enterprises' reputation is L 2 , the profit of manufacturing enterprises' reputation is R 2 , the local government's reputation loss is L 3 [27], and the penalties from the central government are P 2 [71].…”

“…The numerical simulation is a dynamic method that can intuitively display the strategic choices of evolutionary game players and help policymakers understand the potential effects of critical factors on the decision-making process [71]. Therefore, to validate the above theoretical results more intuitively, this study uses numerical simulations to test the impacts of policy burdens and media on the decision-making between local governments and manufacturing enterprises.…”

How to Restrain Regulatory Capture and Promote Green Innovation in China. An Analysis Based on Evolutionary Game Theory

In response to severe environmental challenges, green innovation (GI) has been thoroughly considered by various governments. Although China has promulgated many environmental policies to promote environmental governance, regulatory capture and the lack of independent external supervisors lead to a challenging future. This study employs an evolutionary game method to explore how the policy burden and media affect decision-making between local governments and manufacturing enterprises. On this basis, the simulation method is used to examine critical factors that affect regulatory capture and GI. The results show that the policy burden is the main factor that causes regulatory capture. When the policy burden exceeds a certain threshold, it will cause regulatory capture and hinder GI. Moreover, media, as an external supervisor, can restrain regulatory capture and promote GI significantly. Specifically, when the capacity of media supervision is high enough, due to the positive role of the media, it will inhibit the negative effects of policy burdens. Finally, combined with the different development stages of China’s green industry, the corresponding policy recommendations are given. These results extend the research of regulatory capture and provide a reference for governments to promote environmental governance in practice.

“…eir focus can be quite different: enterprises are more concerned about economic benefits while the government pays more attention to social and environmental benefits [19]. e interaction of stakeholders influences decisions on CDW recycling and consequently affects the efficiency of waste recycling, which means that interactions between these major stakeholders should not to be neglected when investigating CDW recycling [20].…”

In order to investigate the formulation of appropriate environmental regulations in construction and demolition waste (CDW) recycling, this paper establishes a CDW recycling decision-making system consisting of a contractor, a developer, and the government and analyses the decision-making results and influencing factors of the various stakeholders. Three different types of environmental regulations have been considered in the model: (i) no regulation, (ii) incentive regulation, and (iii) punitive regulation. The research shows that the incentive regulation offers the constructor greater incentives to recycle CDW and yields higher profits for members of the system, and however, when recycling is very costly and CDW is highly damaging, punitive regulation should be implemented, as the incentive regulation leads to lower social welfare. In addition, governments should be more cautious when adopting incentive regulation, because social welfare may be negative under this condition whereas there is no such possibility under the punitive regulation.
