Moving towards a circular economy model through I4.0 to accomplish the SDGs

Abstract/summary

In this study, we propose a Blockchain enabled Municipal Solid Waste Management Framework (SoGReIn Framework©) which will return benefits to the Consumers with corporate participation under Extended Producer’s Responsibility Protocol. This inclusive approach will require integrated efforts from Corporates, citizens, Government, NGOs, technocrats, academicians and the waste pickers. The benefits of the model can also be shared by all the stakeholders. The study is based on the insights received from exploring the experiences of some of the exemplar large residential housing communities located in the metropolitan cities in India who have undertaken voluntary efforts in segregating, recycling and reusing various types of wastes generated at the household level and converting them into resources. It further discusses how with the help of new age technology such efforts can help in negotiating corporate participation and help in the reduction of the consumption of plastic wastes. The model, thus suggested can help in furthering the attainment of multiple UN Sustainable Development goals.
