Cover Story: Blockchain technology is an innovation that has recently been heralded as a possible remedy to some of the world's resource and waste problems. There is, however, a current absence of a systematic overview of recent experiences with blockchain initiatives disrupting waste practices, which limits the visibility of experimental efforts and the learning that can be shared across waste researcher and practitioner communities. This paper addresses this gap by mapping the landscape of current blockchain initiatives in the global waste sector. We identify four areas of blockchain use within waste management practices (payment, recycling and reuse rewards, monitoring and tracking of waste, and smart contracts) and summarize recurring themes across these areas about the ways that experiences from blockchain-based initiatives can inform the development of future governance of circular economies.View this paper.
