Environmental consideration in product lifecycle
Source publication
Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing and Product Support (ECMPS) is an important issue driven by concern for the escalating deterioration of the environment. ECMPS involves integrating environmental thinking into the design of a product, the selection of materials, manufacturing processes, delivery and support to consumers, and end-of-life manag...

... noted above, it is now generally recognized that products have environmental impacts over the entire of life cycle, from extraction and procurement of raw materials to manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal [11]. Knowledge acquired during life cycle analysis needs to be transferred into the preliminary design of a new product (Fig.1). Fortunately, it is possible to focus on a specific stage of a product's life to minimize the environmental impact in that stage while also considering the entire life of the product. ...

We investigate the dynamics of a closed-loop supply chain with first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) demand and return processes. We assume these two processes are cross-correlated. The remanufacturing process is subject to a random triage yield. Remanufactured products are considered as-good-as-new and used to partially satisfy market demand; newly m...
Product recovery strategy requires a thoughtful consideration of environmental implications of operational processes, undergone by a manufactured product in its entire product lifecycle, from stages of material processing, manufacturing, assembly, transportation, product use, product post-use and end-of-life. At the returns stream from product use...
This paper investigates cost disruptions of new and remanufactured products in a closed-loop supply chain where a manufacturer and a third-party collector recycle used products through online-recycling and offline-recycling channels, respectively. We use a Stackelberg game to acquire the equilibrium decisions of dual-recycling and single-recycling...

... The global promotion of environmentally friendly materials emphasizes not only their superior chemical and physical properties but also their environmental e ciency indicators, proving to be another important feature. Growing concerns about environmental sustainability drive researchers and industrialists to make more environmentally friendly decisions at every stage of production, from product design and material selection to production processes, consumer delivery, and support, as well as end-of-life management after a product's useful life has ended [34,35]. Researchers extensively explore different combinations of raw materials, energy sources, and manufacturing techniques to develop aerogels with minimal negative environmental impacts. ...
Over the past decade, aerogel sustainability has emerged as a pivotal area, revealing insights and identifying significant gaps. Exploring the sustainability dynamics of aerogel production, this study utilizes the robust methodology of Life Cycle Assessment to navigate environmental complexities. This study created a road map for sustainable aerogel production by analyzing Life Cycle Assessment studies in the literature. The outcomes of the review acknowledge the diversity in precursors, solvents, and production techniques, highlighting the urgency to bridge these disparities for a sustainable aerogel production path. The majority of studies have examined aerogel production from cradle to laboratory gate. Regarding sustainability, there are gaps in the use and end-of-life phases depending on the application areas for cradle to grave. For this purpose, functional units mutually agreed upon according to their application areas are needed. Moreover, the most significant contributors to environmental impacts are precursors, solvents, and drying techniques. These contributors are compared comprehensively in this review. Findings have emerged that aerogel productions should be examined synergistically to shed light on the debate about which technique is more environmentally friendly, especially for aerogel drying. Finally, sustainability suggestions were made by identifying gaps in the aerogel Life Cycle Assessment with comprehensive hotspots.
... Environmentally friendly production (EFP) is a critical issue motivated by the concern of increasing environmental deterioration. EFP entails incorporating environmental considerations into several aspects of product design, material selection, production processes, consumer delivery and support, and product end-of-life management after its useful life has ended (Ghodrati et al., 2016). Though production systems generate material wealth for humans, a great number of resources are consumed while producing a large amount of waste. ...
The present study investigates the impact of board characteristics on environmentally friendly production. The current research uses secondary data extracted from the Refinitiv Eikon database. The data is extracted from the database for a sample of 8094 corporates from 2 continents, Asia and Europe, from 2016 to 2021. Panel data analysis with fixed effect models is used to estimate the results. The findings reveal that board size, independence, and industry expertise significantly impact environmentally friendly production. The results also indicate that board diversity correlates positively with environmentally friendly production in European corporates but negatively in Asian corporates. Findings show that the moderating role of environmental teams has a greater interaction effect with board characteristics in Europe than in Asia. Finally, the results also show that higher environmental performance and environmental, social, and governance scores lead to higher levels of environmentally friendly production. The study has valuable insights and implications for board members, practitioners, academicians, and policymakers. Further, the study contributes to the strand literature by investigating the role of environmental teams on the relationship between board characteristics and environmentally friendly production. The findings are supported by agency, legitimacy, and stakeholder theories, which contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between board characteristics and environmentally friendly production. The evidence about this issue is still unknown and critical, particularly in the context of developing countries where there is a lack of regulatory enforcement related to environmental, social, and governance disclosures.
... Manufacturing processes have a great impact on the development of social, economy, and environment [20]. Therefore, engineering graduates should be knowledgeable in terms of environmental friendly production technique and processes that consume less energy, emit less greenhouses gases, and at the same time produce less waste materials [21]. ...
Aims: The aim of this research study is to show that the use of synthetic surfactant from bagasse is Environmentally Friendly Policies. Environmental management is an important step that needs to be taken on this immediate moment. Various human and industrial activities surely have affected the environment. Environmental management should include a number of groups from different varieties such as academics, policy makers, non-governmental organizations, corporations’ employees, government’s employees and related multidisciplinary groups. Methodology and Results: Environmental management will produce an ecological process and shapes industrial ecology which consists of four components namely; production, consumption, waste/by-products and raw materials. Bagasse as one of industrial solid wastes involved in environmental management will also produce ecological process. Bagasse which is produced from sugarcane processing can be further reprocessed into SLS surfactant that is useful for oil companies as injection fluid on reservoirs to improve oil recovery level. Conclusion, significance and impact of study: Environmental management can be applied between two industries that have mutualism symbiosis relationship through secondary production. Waste minimization can be achieved through bagasse processing. Sugarcane bagasse reprocessing into SLS surfactant is a sustainable program that supports sustainable material management effort. The action to reprocess natural waste into a valuable economical material can also alter human behavior into a more environmental friendly type of behavior.
