| Summary: | for the implementation of the circular economy and the reduce-reuse-recycle paradigm
envisaged by the EU and UNDP. Since the rate of e-waste recycling is one of the most
important indicators of the circular economy, it is necessary to identify the factors that affect
it, and to determine the degree to which these factors influence it in order to foster e-waste
recycling. Using the panel quantile regression technique on panel data including 30 European
countries (EU28+2) and the time period from 2008 to 2018, this study analyses the effects of
overall globalization and its three sub-dimensions (economic, political, and social
globalization) on the rate of e-waste recycling. The results indicate that overall globalization
and its three sub-dimensions have a positive impact on the rate of e-waste recycling in 30
European countries (EU28+2) during the estimation period, thus contributing to the circular
economy. Therefore, supporting all aspects of globalization (economic, political, and social)
will enhance the circular economy. |
