Organized crime and waste management costs

Francesca Di Pillo et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the relationship between organized crime and municipal solid waste management costs. Using panel data of 7069 Italian municipalities from 2015 to 2019, the study finds that organized crime operating in the environmental sector is associated with an increase in waste management costs. The effect of organized crime is stronger in macro-regions where organized crime has historical roots. These findings are robust after controlling for municipality fixed effects and national/regional trends in total service delivery costs. The paper contributes to a better understanding of local service costs and provides insights for policymakers.

Policy evaluation of waste pricing programs using heterogeneous causal effect estimation

Marica Valente

Summary: Using machine learning methods in a quasi-experimental setting, this study examines the heterogeneous effects of implementing waste prices on waste demands and municipal costs. The research finds that waste demands are nonlinear and demonstrate varying elasticities at different price levels. Moreover, after three years of adoption, the policy leads to significant reductions in total waste, resulting in decreased waste management costs for all municipalities.

Designing circular economy-compliant municipal solid waste management charging schemes

Giacomo Di Foggia et al.

Summary: We evaluate the performance of a gain-sharing charging scheme for promoting circularity in municipal solid waste management. Comparing it with unit pricing and standard schemes, the use of unit pricing leads to improved environmental performance and slightly lower per capita costs. However, in comparable municipalities, unit pricing and standard schemes may be equivalent. On the other hand, a rewarding charging scheme can outperform other schemes under specific conditions, making it the first-choice option based on socioeconomic and geographical characteristics.

Adoption of new household waste management technologies: The role of financial incentives and pro-environmental behavior

Darina Vorobeva et al.

Summary: This paper analyzes the impact of different behavioral factors on citizens' intention to use a new household waste management and separation system, and explores their interaction with financial incentives. The study finds that empowerment plays a crucial role in adopting the innovative waste management system, and the effectiveness of the pay-as-you-throw and save-as-you-throw methods varies among individuals with different levels of pro-environmental behavior.

Towards a circular economy for sustainable development: An application of full cost accounting to municipal waste recyclables

Mona Abou Taleb et al.

Summary: This study explores different accounting approaches and scenarios for sustainable municipal waste management, finding that the volume-based PAYT method with a prepaid bag system leads to the lowest waste costs and creates more incentives for households in terms of economic, social and environmental benefits. This approach has implications for policy makers, government councils, waste managers, businesses, and communities in promoting cost-effective, profitable and socially acceptable reusing and recycling of waste, contributing to environmental and socially sustainable development in emerging markets and the transition towards a circular economy model.

Weight-based pay-as-you-throw pricing model: Encouraging sorting in households through waste fees

Aino Ukkonen et al.

Summary: Municipal solid waste poses various systemic challenges, and European countries are moving towards circular material use with the help of economic incentives like the pay-as-you-throw scheme. This paper introduces a model that encourages recycling through weight-based fees, ensuring fair service levels for waste management operators, and internal subsidies for efficient source separation.

Assessing efficiency of urban waste services and the role of tariff in a circular economy perspective: An empirical application for Italian municipalities

Ginevra Virginia Lombardi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the efficiency of urban waste systems in 78 major Italian towns, revealing significant differences in efficiency among different municipalities. Higher efficiency was observed in towns located in the Northern and Central regions, with higher population density, aging rate, lower tariff rates, and door-to-door waste collection.
