Best Practices in Photovoltaics Manufacturing presents best practices and policies that PV companies use to reduce environmental, health, and safety risks and suggests additional steps companies can take to further ensure clean production, health, safety, and fiduciary responsibility. Many PV manufacturers beat standards set for emissions, are reducing water use and reusing water, and are participating...
This work shows the potential reverse logistic flows that can be implemented in the Palm Oil supply chain, based in the waste management and the recovery flows that are obtained trough the agents that made part in the chain. In this context, the study of the chain has been done over the “Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC)” focus, which involves the simultaneous analysis of the backward and the forward...
Reuse of resources should be considered in the design stage to improve the efficiency due to the implementation of reverse logistics management by the enterprises. The keys for manufacturing companies to carry out reverse logistics are extended producer responsibility and lifecycle-oriented design. And cycle-logistics system which combines forward logistics and reverse logistics will be the trend...
We present the current state and perspective of reuse businesses in Japan. We classify reuse businesses into two categories: ldquodesign-oriented reuserdquo and ldquocirculation-oriented reuserdquo. The design-oriented reuse is based on design for environment (DfE) of products and in most cases, maker companies undertake it. The circulation-oriented reuse is such as secondhand shops, and non-maker...
The trade of secondhand electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) from developed to developing countries has become a growing environmental issue owing to concerns about improper recycling of these goods in developing countries. We followed a 40-foot cargo container of cathode-ray-tube color TVs exported from Japan to the Philippines in February 2008. We surveyed the number of TVs damaged in transport,...
Ecological supply chain is an improvement to traditional supply chain according to ecological thinking. There are four sub-systems in ecological supply chain, i.e. production system, consumption system, social system and environmental system. The formation of ecological supply chain is the interacting result of various factors, which not only include pressures from government, customer and other stakeholders,...
In this paper, the concept of ecological supply chain (ESC) and primary design principles of ESC are discussed. And the paper shows that companies can gain economical, social and environmental efficiencies simultaneously from implementing ESC. The organization framework, the operational process, the dynamic durative of virtual enterprise, those are expounded in detail. Evaluation of virtual enterprises...
Reverse logistics has become an important entity in the world economy. Nonetheless, many companies are not capable of or are unwilling to enter the reverse logistics market. Such reluctance appears to be attributed to lack of knowledge of reverse logistics. With the emergence of new type of electronic product, it brings a lot of electronic wastes. There are lots of deleterious materials in these wastes,...
In the U.S., e-waste could be the fastest growing component of the municipal solid waste. This trend is likely to continue given the rapid rate of technological progress, increased adoption and subsequent decreasing life spans of electronic products. This poster proposes the e-market for returned deposit system as an option for future e-waste management system in the U.S.
In the first part of the paper, the authors briefly review progress of different research initiatives on electronic waste or ldquoe-wasterdquo. In the second part, they discuss trans-boundary system for the 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle) management of electronic waste. The authors maintain that there are several important factors that lead to the successful development of a trans-boundary system....
Quantities of end-of-life electronics (or e-waste) around the world keep growing. More than 1.36 million metric tons of e-waste were discarded in the U.S. in 2005, mainly in landfills, and e-waste is projected to grow in future years. This paper explores issues relating to planning future e-waste regulation and management systems in the U.S. It begins by reviewing the existing U.S. recycling systems...
An increasing number of manufacturers have started to sell their products through integrated product service offerings. These offerings can preferably be connected to remanufacturing systems. In order to achieve a successful remanufacturing process, there must be an efficient take-back system - and preferably good product designs. In this paper, we have highlighted the design for remanufacturing aspects...
Electronics original equipment manufacturers are coming under increased scrutiny regarding their environmental performance, particularly around the issue of recycling. To address this pressure, companies need metrics that resolve the effectiveness of candidate recycling strategies. Such metrics not only provide guidance on the design and operation of recycling systems, but also serve to communicate...
