In today's technological age, the issue of e-waste management is becoming increasingly critical. Although several studies have detected and proposed innovative technologies to both enable increase recycling performance, end users often dispose obsolete products inappropriately. The present work aimed at investigating criteria that influence user behavior regarding recycling, starting from seven (i.e., intention recycle e-waste, awareness importance environmental concern, attitudes towards subjective norms, intention, WTP for recycling) identified in literature as most relevant. A questionnaire administered students, interviews academic experts, analytical techniques descriptive statistics, analytic hierarchy process, econometric regression) were used identify relevant recycling. With willingness pay (WTP) a reference criterion, remaining six investigated variables, with aim uncovering relations among them determining which had significant impact on WTP. results revealed individuals strong pro-social more aware need e-waste. Furthermore, those who disposed waste correctly specialized centers recycle. study highlights raising group level promote disposal social norm.

This study explores optimizing waste resource efficiency through the Circular Economy (CE) framework. Motivated by imperative to enhance and mitigate waste’s environmental impact, we examine CE concept’s extension of product life cycles, while minimizing waste. We conduct a comprehensive review explore core principles across all stages lifecycle provide an in-depth analysis treatment practices in Poland, emphasizing potential energy conversion methods like biogas production incineration. Our findings underscore importance prioritizing incineration plant design for quicker payback, aligning with circular rational economic practices. Strategies such as improving production, establishing solid bio-waste fermentation facilities, promoting sortable packaging, incentivizing sustainable sorting emerge optimize management. These highlight pivotal role economic, environmental, considerations shaping management strategies.

Abstract Wastes are usually thought of as unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any substance which discarded after primary use, considered worthless, defective, and no use. The term often subjective, not every application has identical raw material requirements sometimes even objectively inaccurate. A starting point towards managing waste the division in basic categories, ranging from municipal agricultural to radioactive explosive waste. Through proper collection solid waste, very important metals other valuable sources can be recovered used new products, thus achieving significantly lower production cost environmental impact. Success stories management reported countries around world. These typically showcase optimal transformation wealth. Furthermore, applied methods specified. actions should adapted by organization handling At a managerial level, these must potential resources, commodities with significant economic, sociological added value. This paper attempts identify present resources products that exist streams, focusing mainly on their monetary value, based data literature materials stock markets. Municipal non-hazardous commercial industrial wastes this context. methodology followed was identification analysis cities-communities have successfully adopted policies circular economy wealth transformation.
