Abstract
The ever-evolving blockchain like Ethereum has wide applications in various sectors but is comparatively unknown in the sector of managing waste. If assorted steps within the management method are not meted out correctly, waste management ways can even create a health and environmental risk. Smart cities can subdue ecological issues caused by unethical waste handling to overstate mankind, defend marine life, and scale back contamination. The conventional technologies do not offer adequate levels of transparency and coordination among completely different entities. Tamper-proof technology introduced by blockchain; municipalities can escalate the productivity of their waste management efforts. The projected blockchain technology can attach correct stakeholders toward combining and providing information. We review the various opportunities provided by blockchain Technology in proper handling of the various types of wastes like Solid Waste, Electronic Waste, Medical Waste and Industrial Waste. In this review paper we compare various research available in this domain related to different types of waste on the basis of vital specifications. Moreover, we present perceptive analysis of the available case studies to focus on the feasibility of blockchain in proper waste handling. Ultimately, we put forth challenges that can lead to upcoming research.
