| Abstract | Recycling industrial waste has become a favorable option to sustain future industrial development under the anthropogenic circularity philosophy. The lack of scientific identification for recycling has seriously declined the treatment and disposal of industrial waste. This study started the primary endeavor to measure the recyclability of industrial waste. It aimed to use the clarified recyclability to support policymakers improve the circular economy of industrial waste, particularly at the metal recycling stage; in the meantime, developing effective strategies and systems for waste management. To achieve that, we defined various metal grades in the selected industrial waste and then combined the grade with the statistical entropy function to form an innovative model for estimating the recyclability. The results suggest that industrial waste exhibiting high recyclability (e.g., red mud) reflects low disorder and eminent recycling; industrial waste that indicates a low recycling value (e.g., gold tailings) offers easy recycling. Moreover, the created recyclability map identified three recycling zones (difficult, moderate, and easy) useful for enhancing recycling. This model and the results could be employed as a method to design strategies and prioritize the recycling list of industrial waste. |
