Turkey Burslari Scholarship

Q1. Working Title (Up to 15 words)(Please write in short and concise


terms the title of your work as a thesis or an article title.)

How recycling of municipal solid waste Management affect the energy


efficiency and economic growth?

Q2. Analysis of the Problem (at least 75, maximum 300 words)(In this
section, briefly describe the topic and your theory (concept map) to be
used in the study:

Increase in population of the world lead to more consumption natural resources and
increase in the production of waste, and this waste is not only an environmental problem,
but also an economic loss.(EEA, 2014). According to (World Bank, 2019) what a waste 2.0,
the world generates 2.01 billion tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) that is expected to
grow to 3.4 billion tons by 2050.

The unsustainable waste management causing severe hazardous health, environmental


effects, and economics loss, which are more, observe in developing countries (Gourve,
Parveen, 2017). According to the Pakistani government, 87,000 tonnes of solid waste are
generated each week, primarily in larger cities (ITA, 2022).

Several studies shows that MSW recycling is key elements to achieve sustainable
development and provides opportunities to decrease oil consumption, carbon emissions
and convert large quantities of waste into useful resources and energy that generate
economic value, save resources and reduce land filling (Nasrollahietal.2020). In previous
study, researchers analyzed different MSWM and draw its link with economic and
environmental aspects by utilizing firm, industry, or survey level analysis. There is a dearth
of empirical evidence to draw a link between material recycling impact on economic is
missing at national level in developing countries (Razaaq, 2021).
Due to these limitations, academicians, policymakers, and government legislature are
unable to evaluate the net effect of recycling on overall economic growth. To fulfill the gap,
this study intends to estimate the economic and energy efficiency impact of national MSW
recycling in the developing countries to achieve sustainable development. This potentially
be a pioneering study to guide both academicians and policymakers to draft waste
management strategies to attain sustainable development goal.

Research Method (minimum 50 maximum 300 words)"(Give


information about the academic research methods you intend to use in
this study. For example, in-depth interviews, observations, surveys,
experiments, etc.) For example, in-depth interviews, observations,
surveys, experiments, etc.)

The main aim of this study is to analyze the effect of MSW recycling on economic growth
and energy efficiency in the context of Pakistan. In order to realize these objectives, we
follow well-known neoclassical growth model to derive economic growth (Paramati et al.,
2017) through MSW recycling and energy efficiency:

 GDPt = f(CAPt, LABt, RCYt, EEFt).

Where GDP, CAP, LAB, RCY, EEF represent economic growth, capital, labor, MSW recycling,
and energy efficiency, while t represents time. However, Dietz and Rosa (1994, 1997),
which is famously recognized as Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence,
and Technology (STIRPAT) model. This study will follows common characteristics of the
STIRPAT model to derive an empirical modeling framework as:

CO2t = f (POPt, PIt, RCYt, EEFt) (3)

The above factors will examines the influence of MSW recycling and energy efficiency by
simultaneously considering other important factors in a multidimensional framework.

3.2. Data

This study utilizes quarterly data of Pakistan spans from Q1-2000 to Q4- 2020, which
include: Municipal Solid waste in metric tons per capita; MSW recycling (RCY) in tons;
energy efficiency (EEF) ; economic growth measured as gross domestic product (GDP);
gross fixed capital formation capital, total population (POP), and finally per capita income
(PI) is derived through the GDP divided by the mid-year population.

Following prior literature, we will converte all the variables in logarithm, which provides
output in the form of elasticities that make the interpretation process easier (Paramati et
al., 2017; Shahbaz et al., 2020).
The data for the above variable are available on different online authentic sources, which
are freely available:

 Pakistan Environmental agency.


 Data World Bank.org
 Pakistan energy Development Board.
 Pakistan council for renewable energy.
 Pakistan Beurue of statistics..
 International trade organization.

Academic Contribution of the Study (minimum 75, maximum 300 words)


(Explain how this study will contribute to your academic field.)

This study will contribute direct and indirectly to academia, governments,


organizations and societies. If the correlation between recycling of Municipal
Solid wastes Management are positive with economic growth, which may lead
to the following results:
For Academia:

 In previous literature, the MSWM linked with mostly
environmental aspects and there is a gap. ).

For Societies:
With the help of this study, I believed that this study would be make
contribution to Clean and green mission if governments and regulated body
make a policy.

Recycling of MSWM considered the best solutions to manage waste, which


save

 Save Resources and energy for coming generations.


 Save energy.
 Supply raw material to industry.
 Creating jobs.
 Develop greener technologies.
 Reducing the need for new landfills and combustors.
All these factors lead to saving net carbon emissions and generate
significant economic value, which improve the overall living
standard of economic growth.

For institute/Government:
 It clearly visualizes the positive impact of solid waste management on
economic growth, which indicates positive sign of revenue and jobs
creation in near future.

 If government implemented this policy to MSWM and recycled, million


tons of waste will play their role in economic growth and energy
efficiency.

 Proper policy of waste recycling may generate employment


opportunities to both skilled and unskilled labor force.

 This study will attract the attention of the government to target


recycling policy as a stimulator of economic growth amongst others
because it creates the economic value from waste whilst provide
employment opportunities to both skilled and unskilled labor force that
collect and process waste from communities.
