The study examines the contribution of low-carbon and fossil electricity sources to environmental degradation in the European Union countries, modelled by economic development and globalisation. We ensure the robustness of the results by exploring the concurrent and individual effects of the...

In this paper, we investigate the impact of China's policy in 2017 to ban waste imports on air pollution. We exploit the difference-in-differences strategy, which combines the time variation and the cross-prefecture variation in the waste import before the policy change. We find that prefectures...

Many recent US Congresses have proposed bills that allow state and local governments to restrict interjurisdictional waste shipments. Using data on intercounty waste flows in California and a random utility model of haulers’ decisions about where to deposit waste from each county, this paper...

The circular economy (CE), in which wastes from one activity or process are reused as resources for others, is beginning to take hold as a development strategy. CE models can preserve resources, create jobs, add economic value, minimize waste, and curb greenhouse gas emissions, yet few...

Purpose: This study examines the factors that tend to affect citizens intent and behavior towards recycling. There are several key factors that can influence this behavior, such as Individual perception and behavior towards recycling as well as the spatial planning of recycling bins and the...

The use of recycled aggregate concrete can reduce the use of primary resources as well as the amount of waste generated. However, the diffusion of recycled aggregate concrete requires the price competitiveness. This study investigated the question of what the optimal price for recycled aggregate...

Circular Economy Labels and Information Schemes (CELIS) compose the group of labels, certifications, standards of information schemes that fully or partially address one or more resource efficiency or circular economy elements. CELIS can play an important role in fostering circular economy...
