“…We have used the notations "Y" and "N" to indicate "yes" and "no," respectively. This is to observe that the existing proposals (Biswas et al, 2017;Galvez et al, 2018;Helo and Hao, 2019;Kumar and Tripathi, 2019;Mondragon et al, 2019) on supply chain management of products other than e-waste do not involve RSC and they do not consider any access control mechanism, payment channel and incentive mechanism. Interestingly, all proposals on ewaste, except (Gupta and Bedi, 2018), are restricted to RSC only.…”

“…The prime objectives of the usability of blockchain technology are to increase accountability, transparency and trust concerning the storage, safeguarding and sharing of information among the stakeholders. Supply chain management (Biswas et al, 2017;Galvez et al, 2018;Helo and Hao, 2019;Kumar and Tripathi, 2019;Mondragon et al, 2019) is considered as one of the most notable and beneficial use cases of this technology (Helo and Hao, 2019) proposed a blockchainbased logistics monitoring system aiming to achieve traceability, authenticity and accountability. The authors in Biswas et al (2017) adopted blockchain technology to enable customers to verify the composition of wines and to ensure accountability, protection and security from grape growers to retailers.…”

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.

“…Mondragon et al [100] argue that blockchain enables better responses to the increasing requirements for compliance in the food chain through tamper-proof records and provenance tracking. The combination of blockchain with specialized IoT devices (e.g., intelligent sensors/containers) can provide the necessary synopsis to control the status of perishable foods throughout transportation, handling and storage, and delivery to final consumers [106].…”

The emergence of blockchain technology has sparked significant attention from the supply chain management (SCM) and logistics communities. In this paper, we present the results from a thorough bibliometric review that analytically and objectively identifies the intellectual structure of this field, the seminal papers, and the most influential scholars. We employ a knowledge domain visualization technique to generate insights that go beyond other review studies on blockchain research within logistics and SCM. The analysis starts with selecting a total of 628 papers from Scopus and the Web of Science that were published during 2016–2020. The bibliometric analysis output demonstrates that the number of blockchain papers has rapidly increased since 2017. The most productive researchers are from the USA, China, and India. The top academic institutions contributing to the literature are also identified. Based on network analyses, we found that the literature concentrates mainly on the conceptualization of blockchain; its potentials for supply chain sustainability; its adoption triggers and barriers; and its role in supporting supply chain agility, trust, protection of intellectual property, and food/perishable supply chains. Besides systematically mapping the literature, we identify several research gaps and propose numerous actionable research directions for the future. This study enriches the extant blockchain literature, provides a timely snapshot of the current state of research, and examines the knowledge structure of blockchain research in logistics and SCM with the help of evidence-based scientometric methods.

In the next few years, Blockchain will play a central role in IoT as a technology. It enables the traceability of processes between multiple parties independent of a central instance. Blockchain allows to make the processes more transparent, cheaper, and safer. This research paper was conducted as systematic literature search. Our aim is to understand current state of implementation in context of Blockchain Technology for digital protection of communication in industrial cyber-physical systems. We have extracted 28 primary papers from scientific databases and classified into different categories using visualizations. The results show that the focus in around 14% papers is on solution proposal and implementation of use cases "Secure transfer of order data" using Ethereum Blockchain, 7% papers applying Hyperledger Fabric and Multichain. The majority of research (around 43%) is focusing on solution development for supply chain and process traceability.
