Abstract The supply chain management industry has a new dimension of potential for exponential growth thanks to the developing technology of blockchain. It is clear from the literature that implementing this technology will increase stakeholder transparency in addition to reducing additional supply chain costs. With these fantastic benefits, it might be worthwhile to deploy blockchain in an industry where supply chain networks are still underdeveloped. The e-waste management sector is one of the most volatile supply chains due to market fluctuations and uncertainties. It is quite the opportunity to implement blockchain in the e-waste management sector. Developing an efficient e-waste management system with the aid of a disruptive digital technology complements Europe’s latest agenda of digitizing supply chains. Additionally, sustainable management of e-waste is one of the important issues for sustainable smart cities. The research questions that arise are as follows: How can blockchain be used to develop e-waste supply chains with transparency? How can the solution ensure sustainability in the long run? The current study focuses on developing a blockchain-based solution for sustainable management of e-waste. Policy aspects from the European context are discussed with reference to digital supply chain development. The sustainability analysis highlights the advantages and points of intervention from the perspective of sustainable smart cities. This work is expected to be beneficial to researchers and relevant stakeholders. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Biswajit Debnath, Abhijit Das, Potluri Anil Chowdary, and Siddhartha Bhattacharyya; individual chapters, the contributors.
