this paper shows how game theory can be applied to modeling the interaction between government and manufacturer in implementation of cleaner production. a generic game model based upon ‘two-person non-cooperative’ static game is created to allow various strategic actions being tested by stages, and aid decision making by selecting optimal strategy for both manufacturer and policy maker to reduc...

introduction: cleaner productions in textile industry is achieved by reducing water and chemicals’ consumption, saving energy, reducing production of air pollution and solid wastes, reducing toxicity and noise pollution through many solutions. the purpose of the present research was to apply strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (swot) and quality systems planning matrix (qspm) techniqu...

Cleaner production is essentially aimed at increasing production efficiency, while at the same time eliminating or minimizing wastes and emissions at their source, rather than treating them after they have been generated. The concept is especially important to developing countries, where energy natural resources are scarce, and the pace of environmental degradation is continuously increasing. T...

Cleaner Production is a comparatively new approach to dealing with environmental concerns and grasping the opportunities arising from those challenges. It aims at avoiding the generation of waste and emissions, by making more efficient use of materials and energy, through modifications in the production processes, input materials, operating practices and/or products and services. Although Clean...

This research assesses the environmental and economic benefits and costs of cleaner production projects formulated by smalland medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) participating in a sustainable supply program in Mexico. The program was designed as a public-private voluntary partnership to spur cleaner production dissemination in SMEs that are part of global supply chains. The study analyzes how pro...

Trade growth for a relatively poor country is thought to shift the composition of industrial output towards dirtier products, aggravating environmental damage. China's rapidly growing trade and serious environmental degradation appear to be no exception. However, much of China's trade growth is attributable to the international fragmentation of production. This kind of trade could be cleaner, i...

Bacterial Cellulose biosynthesis is one of the most important applied biochemical processes in biology. In order to explain the detailed molecular events of bacterial cellulose biosynthesis, we discuss in this work, the different steps required for bacterial cellulose formation and crystallization from sugar cane and honey. The potential of organisms to produce biocellulose fibers was analyzed....
