The implementation of ecological compensation for cross-regional domestic waste treatment is beneficial balancing the interests generation districts and districts. This paper introduces dynamic differential games to capture temporal evolution adjustment strategies, examining game strategies under different scenarios (non-horizontal compensation, horizontal fully shared compensation). A new interest distribution model proposed, with empirical analysis conducted using Shanghai as a case study validate reliability feasibility model. findings indicate: (1) Government intervention combined significantly improves management efficiency urban welfare. mechanism fosters regional cooperation, optimizes resource allocation, reduces decision-making conflicts enhances overall processing effectiveness. (2) Without mechanism, high costs in export regions low benefits import result cooperation willingness. willingness cooperate by fairly distributing benefits, optimizing long-term gains. (3) Complete optimal, though partial mechanisms are also effective practice. Proper ratios can improve environment, strengthening cooperation. theoretically expands optimization management, provides solutions environmental policy formulation handling offers perspectives tools addressing complex issues governance, including targeted recommendations practical significance enhancing management.

This study examines the domestic solid waste management system in LATAM region, using city of Guayaquil Ecuador as a case study. Through life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, compares and external recycling processes, evaluating their effects on global warming potential, fossil resource scarcity, terrestrial ecotoxicity. The results reveal that increasing rates significantly reduces environmental impacts, with offering slightly higher benefits than options. A demographic analysis machine learning techniques identifies distinct patterns generation across different population clusters, highlighting need for tailored strategies. also emphasizes importance accurate local data integration initiatives market realities, particularly light policies mandating recycled content products like PET bottles. sensitivity recovery indicator (WRI) demonstrates potential substantial economic rates. findings suggest that, to advance towards circular economy, Latin American cities must enhance infrastructure, refine policies, focus demographic-specific research contributes broader understanding sustainable developing regions, insights future policy infrastructure development.
