ABSTRACT

In recent years, with the popularization of smart phones and people’s further demand for convenient life, the take-out industry has developed rapidly, which further stimulates economic consumption. However, while the take-out industry has been generating higher revenues, the problems of the disposal of take-out packaging have become increasingly severe. The rapid increase of take-out packaging has not only caused ecological pollution, but also led to a considerable degree of resource waste. Therefore, under the current premise of promoting circular economy and green economy, the recycling of take-out packaging has become an urgent problem to be solved. Given the fact that the recycling of take-out packaging involves different interest subjects, this study is conducted from a collaborative symbiotic and evolutionary perspective of related subjects. An evolutionary game model of consumers and take-out enterprises is built. By comparing the regulation of the government guidance mechanisms with non-regulation, the dynamic relationships among the government, enterprises and consumers in the industry chain of take-out recycling is explored.Based on the evolutionary game model, this study further reveals the important role played by the government in the construction of the industry chain of take-out recycling, which is of certain guiding significance for optimizing the structure and configuration of the industry chain and promoting the deepening development of circular economy.
