Understanding the game relationships and behaviors of stakeholders is the key to effectively promoting recycled resource management. The insights from past research are relatively limited and lack a holistic and comprehensive understanding to guide recycled resource management practice in China. To this end, this study systematically reviews and summarizes the stakeholder game relationships and behaviors in recycled resource management, based on which a systematic framework for analyzing stakeholder game relationships and behaviors in recycled resource management is proposed. To further explain this framework, cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of the game relationships among and within stakeholder groups are conducted. The proposed systematic framework is a unification and deepening of existing research perspectives on stakeholder games in recycled resource management, and has more practical guidance for promoting recycled resource management in China.
