TL;DR: In this paper , a dynamic business model (DBM) is constructed to thoroughly diagnose the causal connections among the blocks of business model canvas, and systematically and numerically value the output of comprehensive performance, which is especially suitable for evaluating the impacts of policy intervention on industry development.

TL;DR: In this paper, the EPR system, Eco-Assurance System, and Allbaro system were examined as the regulation of E-wastes in this study and beneficial use practice of recycling Ewaste in Korea was introduced to improve recycling activities including collection system and recovery center with facilities.
Abstract: The EPR system, Eco-Assurance System, and the Allbaro system were examined as the regulation of E-wastes in this study And beneficial use practice of E-wastes in Korea was introduced to improve recycling activities including collection system and recovery center with facilities In order to improve the recycling of waste in Korea (Republic of), the act on the promotion of saving and recycling of resources was activated in 1992. Under the act, waste charges and waste deposit fee system were operated for several products from industries to promote recycling measurement. Due to the abolition of waste deposit system in 2002, extended producer responsibility (EPR) system was introduced in 20003 by the amendment of recycling law Since early 2004, the Ministry of Environment of Korea has carried out a feasibility study to introduce an. “Eco-Assurance System (The ECOAS)” which would restrict the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment and promote recycling of E-wastes by applying a systemic management for life cycle analysis from cradle to grave. On January 2008, the Eco-Assurance Committee System in Korea has been implemented under the Act on the Resource. Circulation of Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Vehicles for resource circulation and environmental conservation in a joint legislation by the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Knowledge & Economy, and the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs According to the ECOAS in Korea, 5 product groups and 27 items of WEEE including refrigerator, personal computer, electric oven, audio, and mobile phone are controlled to intensify the recycling capacity in electronic industries Beneficial use practice of recycling E-Waste in Korea were examined to improve recycling activities including collection system, recovery center with facilities by the information of E-Waste generation and recycling, policy and regulations of E-Waste Even though total generation of E-wastes was almost constant recently, the generation trend of TV, refrigerator and washing machine was very increased because those products was used in household more than 2 times for past 10 years Also, recycling rates of those E-wastes will be increased because recycling technologies have been improved and those E-wastes were readily decomposed by heavy parts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors systematically go through the various factors that prevent the implementation and diffusion of new closed-loop solutions and, thus, the transformation towards a circular economy, and identify three system-level lock-ins, the national extended producer responsibility scheme, technoeconomic issues, and tensions in the supply chain, which impede the adoption of innovations and the consequent transformation of the WEEE management system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how to estimate the ecological costs form metal waste based on life cycle assessment (LCA) environmental impacts generated from the management of the construction waste, which could affect members of the engineering and construction industry, since it provides methods for costing the ecological impact from construction waste.
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate how to estimate the ecological costs form metal waste based on life cycle assessment (LCA) environmental impacts generated from the management of the construction waste. Design/methodology/approach – LCA methodology and eco-indicators 95 were used to calculate the impact from metal waste based on three waste management strategies. Findings – The results of this study establish that the ecological impact from metal waste management is mainly due to the burning of diesel from machinery during the dismantling processes and the use of vehicles for transportation. The results proposed equations and curves for estimating the ecological cost from metal waste based on waste management strategies. Research limitations/implications – The research could affect members of the engineering and construction industry, since it provides methods for costing the ecological impact from construction waste. The eco-costs will assist in implementing sustainable strategies th...
