TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the sustainable supply chain innovation enablers (SSCIEs) to achieve sustainability in the supply chain using the Pythagorean fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) framework.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare two different concepts of circularity, circular economy and eco-cycle, which had political momentum in Sweden during the 2010s and the 1990s respectively, and show how issues of responsibility, politics, limits, space and sustainability have changed over the turn of the millennium.

TL;DR: A novel decision-making framework-based on the operators of q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets, traditional weighted aggregated sum product assessment approach, score function and similarity measure is proposed to solve the alternative-fuel technology selection problem within q-ROFSs context, wherein the decision experts and criteria weights are completely unknown.

TL;DR: In this article, a questionnaire survey was used to construct an evaluation index system of green technology innovation (GTI) capability for manufacturing enterprises under multi-agent cooperation (MEUMC), and the evaluation model based on consistency and decision-making trials and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) model were combined to measure the capability and influencing factors of GTI.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fractional nonlinear grey Bernoulli model and its reduced forms were used and compared for forecasting of Turkey's total renewable and hydro energy installed capacity and electricity generation from 2019 to 2030.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the energy-growth-environment nexus in cooperation with globalization, urbanization, life expectancy and biocapacity as control variables by using both consumption-based and production-based approaches in an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework.

TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative study of both descriptive and causal objectives through a questionnaire was conducted to identify the determinant attributes for the behavior of young consumer environmentally sustainable food purchases and investigate the compensatory rules applied during pre-purchase evaluation processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the impact of fairness perception on employee's subjective well-being and propose a sequential mediation model that investigates the relationship between fairness perception and subjective wellbeing with the sequential mediating mechanism.

TL;DR: The consequences of failure modes of industrial equipment are considered from the sustainable point of view, which is believed to be a requirement for the establishment of a successful sustainable manufacturing strategy.

TL;DR: The proposed stochastic-fuzzy DEA model (SFDEA) can be solved as crisp program for each α ∈ 01 using α -cut method and is the first study to a present a flexible approach for evaluating supplier’s sustainability in supply chain management.

TL;DR: In this article, a life cycle assessment was performed for comparing a single-use bio-based beverage cup (polylactic acid) with single use plastics (polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate) and multiple-use stainless steel alternative.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mediating role of organizational trust and moderating effect of general self-efficacy on the relationship between ethical leadership and employee engagement was investigated, and the effect of ethical leadership was found to be stronger for those individuals with low rather than high general selfefficacy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple theoretical economic model was developed to identify how a firm's environmental performance influences economic performance and empirically tested the model using data on Japanese manufacturing firms from 2008 to 2015.

TL;DR: This model is applied to a real-world instance of an Italian package pooler operating with a consortium of large-scale retailers for the distribution of fruits, vegetables, bakery, and meat products, demonstrating how to lead packaging makers to the profitability and the long-term sustainability of the closed-loop network.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the factors of IT professionals' GIT beliefs and attitudes toward adopting GIT practices for environmental performance, and found that IT attitudes and practices were significantly related to environmental IT performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an overview over policies and incentives within recycling and reuse showing to be effective for increased recycling of various materials such as textiles, paper, glass and plastic.

TL;DR: In this paper, a literature review of existing business model frameworks is conducted and gaps found in the definition and conceptualisation of value, alignment with sustainable development, and assessment of social and environmental impacts and goals.

TL;DR: An integrated multiphase fuzzy QFD-MADM framework that combines QFD, analytic hierarchy process (AHP), decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), and analytic network process (ANP) along with fuzzy set theory is proposed to contribute to sustainable product design literature in a manner that is comprehensive and analytical.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the environmental impacts of different diets with different levels of animal product consumption, while accounting for the type of farming systems (organic or conventional) of the food consumed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified the main drivers and barriers affecting the adoption of use-oriented product-service systems by young consumers residing in medium and small cities and proposed a framework that summarizes the identified PSS adoption drivers and barrier along with recommendations to optimize adoption drivers.

TL;DR: A data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a popular technique for evaluating the sustainability of sustainability evaluation for politicians and professionals for the last few decades as discussed by the authors, which has been an important topic for politicians.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an empirical quantification of selected infrastructure and a review of decommissioning plans, as exemplified by offshore wind in the United Kingdom, showing that these plans are at best formulaic and at worst perfunctory and provide no value to the growing movement toward a circular economy.
