| Abstract | This chapter explores cases involving the use of blockchain-enabled technology in the waste management industry, particularly electronic waste management. In order to achieve the goals of a circular economy, adequate investment in waste management is important globally. However, little is known or understood about the role of blockchain technology within the waste management industry. In this chapter, a review of the application of blockchain in the waste management supply chain is presented, and its impact in terms of achieving sustainability goals, in particular the traceability of waste within the closed loop supply chain, is identified. In addition, an overview is provided of companies such as Provenance, Minespider and Bundel, among others applying these technologies. It is recommended that in order to benefit from blockchain technology within the waste management industry, all stakeholders will need to help create ecosystems that can make more effective use of emerging technologies in this sector. |
