The growing concerns about the Earth’s climate system and increasing importance of saving raw materials are critical challenges that supply chain members mostly face, leading companies to sustainability ‘going green’ missions. Environmentally friendly inventory management is one most crucial key decisions creates innovative methodologies achieve green growth. Hence, in this study, we analyse a ...

Abstract This paper explores the possibilities to use laser-based additive processes make, surface treat and repair/remanufacture tools, dies molds for cold working, hot injection molding. The failures encountered in these applications are described. materials used conventionally laser accounted for. properties of made by Laser-based Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) as good some cases better than thos...

The textile industry is recognized as being one of the most polluting industries. Thus, European Union aims to transform with its “European Green Deal” and “Circular Economy Action Plan”. Awareness regarding environmental impact textiles increasing initiatives are appearing make more sustainable products a strong wish move towards circular economy. One these wear2wearTM, collaboration consistin...

The market for electric motors is experiencing a step-growth due to their adoption across range of industrial sectors. This increased demand also highlights the importance end-of-life management and requirement appropriate strategies high value materials embedded in them. paper aims offer holistic view on circular economy research role Industry 4.0 technologies by presenting state-of-the-art av...

Abstract Circular Economy (CE) is gaining traction among academics and stakeholders; however, there no unified framework on how to assess it. This paper proposes a that composed of two segments. The first segment includes circular processes based the value retention stages products systems different levels. second comprises impacts measuring goals CE concerning environmental performance, econom...

Remanufacturing is a sustainable product recovery strategy with environmental, economic and social benefits. Remanufacturability assessment, the process of deciding whether or not to remanufacture an end-of-life end-of-use product, complex has high level uncertainty. Several tools methods have been proposed reduce this complexity without compromising effectiveness inclusiveness process. However...

Abstract In general, for the last 150 years, linear economy dominates society. A model in which products are made from raw materials recovered environment, used, repaired, and finally disposed of landfills. The environmental impact gave rise to concept circular economy. This paper aims provide a literature overview that presents ways lighting can participate economy, define role effect specific...

End of life vehicle (ELV) is a significant renewable resource with enormous economic value and environmental value. New regulation promulgated by the State Council PRC has been implemented since June 2019, allows main assemblies ELV can be sold to remanufacture enterprises, which dramatically prompts more enterprises invest in recycling industry. According technological recovery characteristics...

Abstract Equipment manufacturers (EMs) exhibit unsustainable operating patterns in linear production models by depleting finite materials. In this context, future business environments industrial markets shift fundamentally and form a new sustainability paradigm stimulated key drivers, e.g., end customer behavior. Considering the market shift, research explores an overview of prerequisites tran...

• We systematically reviewed 8318 studies on food waste reduction in LMICs. Interventions each study were categorised as preventive, mitigative or both. However, no identified explored both preventive and measures. A strong bias favour of material-based interventions was also identified. Reduction low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) can provide multi-layered benefits for their sustainable d...
