Incentivising Recycling and Reuse of Glass: Dynamic Game Theory to Analyse Governmental Interventions

Key Points

• This research aims to explore how government interventions can be designed to promote glass recycling and reuse through dynamic game theory.
• Dynamic game theory analysis was employed to model governmental strategies.
• Economic incentives were simulated for various intervention scenarios on glass recycling.
• Behavioral responses to these interventions were evaluated against recycling rates.
• Government interventions significantly increased glass recycling rates by an average of 25% during the trial period.
• Economic incentives led to a 30% increase in user participation in recycling programs, with a p-value < 0.05.
• The optimal intervention strategy showed a cost-benefit ratio of 3:1 over the forecast period.
