“…An initial mapping of the materials and value chain relationships for each material was found to be an important precursor to circular economy transition within a business. 5 Kovacic et al 6 called for additional research on the development of Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems with integrated Material Passports linked to geographic information systems (GIS). GIS cadasters can be used to track citylevel agriwaste supply chain flows based on product functionality needs, while BIM modeling can enable knowledge exchanges between highly diverse levels of technical expertise.…”

“…20 A hypothetical analytical scenario of waste banana peels will be used to illustrate different analytical challenges inherent to an integrated regional planning BIM model that addresses the high level of complex resource flow tracking called for by Kovacic et al. 6 Given the complexity of just banana peels, it would not be possible to address all the issues pertaining to agriwaste in general. This methodological review is focused on describing the multiple conflicting and competing issues affecting the valorization of agriwaste as a building material.…”

“…For example, if resources are tagged in some way (using, for example, a barcode or Quick Response (QR) code) and linked to a blockchain listing the producer and subsequent owners, then, if they are illegally dumped in the natural environment, the data on the blockchain can be used to identify who was responsible (Steenmans and Taylor 2018). A comparable application is currently being explored in the construction sector, linking the concept of material passports for buildings with blockchain technology to encourage circular economies (e.g., Honic et al 2018;Kovacic et al 2018). Several challenges and uncertainties remain to be addressed to realize such benefits in practice.…”

Blockchain Technology for Governance of Plastic Waste Management: Where Are We?

Blockchain technology is emerging as a plausible disruptor of waste management practices that influence the governance of plastics. The interest among the waste management community in the potential and fundamental changes to complex resource management associated with blockchain adoption parallels recent research in other sectors, such as finance, health, public administration, etc. During any comparable period characterized by a step-change in positive coverage of an early-stage technology, it can be challenging for actors to access a grounded, evidence-based oversight of the current state of practice and make informed decisions about whether or how to adopt blockchain technology. The current absence of such a systematic overview of recent experiences with blockchain initiatives disrupting waste practices not only limits the visibility of these experimental efforts, but also limits the learning that can be shared across waste plastics researcher and practitioner communities. This paper contributes with a current overview of blockchain technology adoption in the waste management sector, giving particular attention to implications for the governance of plastics. Our study draws on both primary interview data and secondary documentation data to map the landscape of current blockchain initiatives in the global waste sector. We identify four areas of blockchain use that are beginning to change waste management practices (payment, recycling and reuse rewards, monitoring and tracking of waste, and smart contracts). We conclude by outlining five areas of significant blockchain uses, implications, and influences of relevance to the development of circular plastic waste governance in both research and practice.

The literature on blockchain technology and circular economy is at a nascent stage, with only initial limited and superficial recognition of the possible role blockchain may have in supporting circular economy laws and policies. This paper contributes to this emerging area by exploring the regulatory opportunities and challenges for adoption of blockchain for circular waste management. In particular, through a mixed methods approach combining empirical and doctrinal research, this paper presents initial findings on: (1) the current role of blockchain within the legal landscape on circular economies;(2) the regulatory barriers of blockchain application to circular economies; and (3) opportunities of blockchain in supporting regulatory mechanisms promoting circularity.
