A clear and consistent set of environmental performance criteria for the design of televisions is established, providing an opportunity for manufacturers to secure market recognition for efforts to reduce the environmental impact of electronic products. This standard is also intended to provide a tool for government, institutional, corporate, and consumer purchasers to identify products that demonstrate...
A clear and consistent set of environmental performance criteria for the design of imaging equipment products is established, providing an opportunity to secure market recognition for efforts to reduce the environmental impact of electronic products. This standard is also intended to provide a tool for government, institutional, corporate, and consumer purchasers to identify products that demonstrate...
Blast Furnace Gas (BFG) is an important kind of by-products in the integrated steelworks. Its recycling option considerably relates to the environmental performance of the integrated steelworks. In this study, a specific integrated steelworks in China is selected as the research object. The system expansion method and Weidema's procedure are referenced to resolve the allocation problem. In spite of...
The interrelations among environmental performance, environmental disclosure and corporate value, are basic issues of firm environmental behavior. There are different arguments in prior literatures. Based on the investigation of 145 listed chemical firms in China, we obtain results (1) environmental disclosures level is significantly associated with environmental performance; (2) environmental disclosures...
After discussing the features of a firm's economical performance and environmental performance, the relationship between them, and the running requirement, this paper builds up an economic and environmental bi-performance objective incentive model for a firm with principal/agent theory. Economical performance is inside-driven, and environmental performance is outside-driven. Both local government...
With the enforcement of "Circular Economy Promotion Law", extended producer responsibility has become the important institution of China's circular economy. However, incentives for the majority of producers are lacking. This paper starts with EPR's theoretical base, clarifying its environmental goals and responsibility modes. Five promotional factors are deduced, which are improvement potential...
The environmental performance, economic performance, social performance, and the concept will be described systematically in this paper, a case study of the Xiao Nanhai cement factory, the study of performance improving and cost control is of great significance. It worth further research.
This study aimed to construct a comprehensive model examining the effects of the task environment on reverse logistics (RL) activities, and the resulting effects on both firm environmental and economic performance. Being the first of its kind to integrate three different literature streams: the task environment, RL activities, and performance, the study attempted to understand their linkages by conducting...
The concept of eco-friendly operation of enterprises has been put forward for a long time but up to now we cannot find a clear definition for eco-friendly operation. Most of existing research and paper define eco-friendly operation from the viewpoint of environmental protection. Existing environmental concept, to some extent, hampers business getting profit. So clarifying the nature of eco-friendly...
Guidance and implementation procedures for this and other standards in the IEEE 1680TM family of standards are provided. A clear and consistent set of environmental performance criteria for the design of personal computer products including notebook computers, desktop computers, and computer displays is provided, thereby providing an opportunity to secure market recognition for efforts to reduce the...
Guidance and implementation procedures for the IEEE 1680 family of standards is provided, and the methods by which manufacturers may declare electronic products as conforming with the standards in the IEEE 1680 family of standards and by which such conformance may be verified are defined. The standards within the family will provide clear and consistent performance criteria for the design of electronic...
Global warming problem is an issue of growing importance, raising such questions as: will CO2-emitting companies take their carbon capture, transportation and storage (CCTS) constraints into consideration in the selection of their new production sites? Should territorial public authorities consider helping these companies in the handling of their CCTS operations to improve their own attractiveness?...
Guidance and implementation procedures for the IEEE 1680 family of standards is provided, and the methods by which manufacturers may declare electronic products as conforming with the standards in the IEEE 1680 family of standards and by which such conformance may be verified are defined. The standards within the family will provide clear and consistent performance criteria for the design of electronic...
The Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) takes environmental considerations into the account in supply chain management. Purchasing decisions have significant impact on the GSCM. However lack of effective and practical tools for supply chain managers to incorporate green into their daily operations hindered the practice of GSCM. The paper establishes an integrated supplier evaluation model considering...
In order to alleviate production costs and increase the environmental performance of solar photovoltaic manufacturing, an eco-industrial park for GW-scale production of PV is proposed. This article quantifies the inputs and outputs for the glass manufacturing component of such a system using standard manufacturing techniques. Utilizing industrial symbiosis in this way, potential reductions for such...
Multi-generation (MG) solutions to produce for instance electricity, heat and cooling power, are increasing their diffusion, above all on a small-scale basis (below 1 MWe), owing to their enhanced energy, environmental and economic performance with respect to conventional solutions for the separate production of the same energy vectors. Planning of MG systems, including proper equipment selection...
Good decision making regarding product end-of-life management requires information from different life cycle stages. If information is missing or not accessible when needed by the decision maker, it can affect the performance of the entire supply loop. In this paper we investigate the role and value of information for supply loop management. We introduce a generic evaluation method to assess the value...
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is emerging as a promising nanotechnology for manufacturing dielectrics and insulators on microelectronics devices. Its environmental performance has to be characterized at this early development stage to achieve sustainable manufacturing in the future. In this paper, we report our environmental performance characterization studies on ALD technology through material flow...
Insertion of DGs in distribution system provides many potential benefits such as peak shaving, improvement of power quality and reliability, increased in efficiency and improved environmental performance. However, it is followed by some special problems. Perhaps, the most important problem in using DGs in distribution systems that may disturb system protection is islanding. Islanding operations of...
Although a Maritime Safety Case regime has existed since 1993, there are very few papers within the academic literature. There is considerably more interest across the defence and wider maritime sector in Safety Assessment (e.g. Safedore 2007), than when the UK MOD embarked on its systems safety journey in the early 1990's. Capital Ships Directorate (ex. Major Warships Integrated Project Team (IPT))...
