With the improvement of residents' living standards and humans' attention in environmental protection green consumption consciousness and so on, cold chain logistics and green logistics have become the important parts in logistics system. With the development of these two kinds of logistics mode, “green cold chain logistics” with combined of the two will also be a new kind of logistics mode. On the...
Packaging currently used in the market often results in a waste of resources and environmental pollution. The implementation of green packaging can reduce pollution, optimize the environment, improve international competitiveness, promote the development of export trade, and is also conducive to the implementation of sustainable development strategies. However, despite the existence and benefits of...
It is well agreed that recycling of WEEE (Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment) is vital to the protection of the world's environment and resources. However, although the ‘green’ concept has been adopted by many, recycling rate is lagged far behind, even by people who claim to be environmentalists. Our research explores this phenomenon from a neurological angle. In our study, 26 subjects were...
Decision on end-of-life product recovery options is affected by many factors; related to amount usage of appropriate raw materials, energy, environmental factors and etc. This paper provides a model that is different from previous ones in its inclusion of all environmental effective parameters such as raw materials, clean technology, emission, energy, and waste simultaneously. Because of, supplying...
Green computing has been receiving lot of attention because of the growing environmental concerns and swelling energy consumption costs. Developments of computing performance and reduction in the consumption of energy and carbon footprints are among the most important objectives of green computing. Aim of this study is to explore and advance the green computing implementation practices among United...
The main aim of this research is investigate the relationship between reverse logistics barriers and reverse logistics performance measurement of electronics industry in Thailand. A conceptual model is developed by proposing eight hypotheses. The model is examined using structural equation modeling (SEM). Data are collected via a distributed questionnaire to electronic companies of Thailand. The interesting...
In the trend of Global financial crisis and oil price float, many countries begin attached great importance to relate the environmental pollution issues of the energy sources and global warming. Successively take action and laws with standards, so internationally attention to environmental protection and ecological and sustainable development. In order to help companies respond to consumer the market...
The aim of this research is to investigate the implementation of green IT strategy in a UK university. To achieve this aim, we investigate the effectiveness of the implementation of such a strategy through the benefits gained, such as saving money, energy and reduce carbon emissions through the use of environmentally friendly devices and reduce the use of printers and papers, as well as e-waste management...
This paper studies the pricing decision-making for recycling used home appliances when wholesale and retail prices for the green home appliances have already been determined by other methods. In consideration of the influences of the effective recycle behavior of the used home appliances to the whole supply chain, the paper proposes three game models about the recycle pricing for the used home appliances...
The fierce market competition result in the increasingly shorter product life cycles. It is a commonly known as a trend of green life cycle engineering design to consider the lightest harm to the environment in the early design stage. In this study, the author attempted to establish an integrated assessment method for modular design and disassembly plan. In this study, the lamp and printer are used...
Green and facile recycling bio-waste rapeseed oil into carbon nanomaterial was comparatively investigated using two novel, catalyst free approaches; rotating gliding arc discharge and aerosol fast pyrolysis. V-I characteristics and dynamic motion of gliding arc in aerosol rapeseed oil were investigated by oscilloscope and high speed camera. Different properties in the morphologies, structures, order...
Green computing refers to the process of improving the efficiency of computing devices and reducing its negative impact on mankind and environment. Over the years the idea of green computing has attracted the world due to its environment benefits. At present green computing is under the consideration of businesses organizations and IT industries to improve environmental conditions for the better living...
From the perspectives of the operational objectives of the green supply chain management and in consideration of its economic efficiency, social and environmental impact as well as its unique characteristics, this paper examines the pricing issues of the green supply chain for home appliances industry by using game theory. Considering the influences of the effective recycle behavior of the used home...
Hotels are among the highest energy using, water consuming and waste generating facilities of the tertiary building sector. Therefore, an urgent need for sustainable development exists. Despite the will to "Go Green", developing countries lack the required expertise for proper sustainability actions. In this paper a general green renovation guide for hotels is put forth to define the guidelines...
This model shows how manufacturing equipment can be assessed according to its global warming potential. A model to evaluate, compare and therefore to enable a more sustainable production is shown. With the use of this model automotive production planners can improve the transparency for sustainable solutions. In addition, the example of a reusable frequency converter housing for conveyor technologies...
Green supply chain management (GSCM) has become a topic of interest for both business leaders and academic researchers alike. Over the last decade or so, the GSCM literature has grown considerably. Although sufficient literature exists about various aspects and facets of GSCM, earlier works and reviews have a limited focus and narrow perspective. This paper presents a comprehensive integrated view...
Sustainable development is increasingly becoming the main objective to organisations. Companies within Chinese manufacturing industries are eager to adopt sustainable strategy through lean, green, and socially responsible practices. This research was carried out to study the effectiveness of various practices that improve the sustainability performance and embraces economic, environmental, and social...
This paper provides a general model for the enterprises that want to execute reverse logistics. The enterprises executing a green strategy can bring the benefit of green goodwill and customer identification. Otherwise, the real profit of executing green reverse logistics is the key point to managers. The authors use the static analytic tool — the net present value method to evaluate the relevant costs...
Supply chain networks entail a large amount of investments and that is why they are expected to work for a long time horizon in an economic way. But just considering economic aspects cannot ensure the optimum state of networks design and nowadays, there is a need for considering the other effecting aspects such as environmental and social factors. In this research, we provide a comprehensive mathematical...
This paper examines the pricing issues of the green supply chain for home appliances industry by using game theory and contract coordination theory. Considering the influences of the effective recycle behavior of the used home appliances to the whole supply chain, the paper proposes a game model for the portfolio pricing for the wholesale, retail and recycle price based on manufacturer recycling model...
