Abstract: This study proposes a Blockchain-Integrated Circular Economy Framework to improve lifecycle tracking and emissions reporting for maritime ICT and energy materials. The system combines Digital Product Passports, IoT telemetry, and smart contracts on a permissioned blockchain to record operational data and end-of-life events for batteries, photovoltaic modules, and navigation equipment. A parametric algorithm calculates emissions by combining production impacts, usage profiles, and recycling credits, while automated incentives promote material recovery. Synthetic data simulations illustrate the framework's ability to monitor degradation, quantify emissions, and enforce circularity incentives. Results indicate that production emissions dominate lifecycle impacts, highlighting the value of integrated tracking and verified recovery to support low-carbon maritime operations.
