There are widespread assumptions to the effect that the real-time data generated through the 5G-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) will improve material traceability and accelerate the global transition to a circular economy (CE), thereby helping to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals and carbon neutrality. Many industries, governments, and...
Environmental agencies around the world have adopted policies to manage e-waste and reduce the negative environmental impacts associated with its collection, sorting, dismantling, and recycling. In many OECD countries, where adequate policies and processing technologies exist, those who manage extended producer responsibility programs claim perform...
The development and implementation of extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies to manage e-waste provide multilevel governance frameworks for achieving greater material circularity. However, the roles and responsibilities that are allocated to various stakeholders under these policies, which are crucial for program effectiveness, often vary...
Policy proposals for a more circular economy abound but studies of actual attempts to transition from linear to more circular material flows within large organisations are few. We present the case of a university’s project to manage its information technology (IT) material flows according to circular economy principles. This paper presents a detail...
There are widespread assumptions to the effect that the internet of things (IoT) will accelerate the global transition to a circular economy (CE). Many industries, governments, and NGOs are supporting this vision by promoting or investing in related infrastructure (5G networks, AI, sensors, etc.). Conversely, recent literature has highlighted a par...
A range of extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs have been developed for managing electronic waste. In Canada, where efforts have led to more harmonized EPR programs, one province (Québec) has introduced regulatory measures beyond those adopted elsewhere in the country. We investigate the causes for this different approach, and stakeholde...
