Background: This literature review delves into the concept of 'Third-party Reverse Logistics selection', focusing on its process and functionality using deterministic and uncertain decision-making models. In an increasingly globalized world, Reverse Logistics (RL) plays a vital role in...

Purpose of the article: The current problem on customers' side is the problem of waste generated after purchasing. The purchasing process provides a huge amount of waste, especially due to various kinds of packaging (boxes, bags, sacks) in paper and plastic form. The purpose of the paper is to...

Supply chain management is a multi-dimensional approach. Growing eco-consciousness has forced businesses to optimize operations and incorporate green practices across all the stages of supply chain in manufacturing and service sectors. Reviewing the past research literature propels us to...

Abstract: Background: The interest in the topic of performance assessment in reverse supply chains (RSC) is increasing, although the body of research is still in its early stages. As this is a developing field, it is crucial to expand discussions on topics that have not yet been thoroughly...

The textile and apparel industries have experienced the arrival of the sustainable fashion revolution, which symbolizes a significant switch towards improving green innovations and lessening environmental effects. As industries highlight sustainability through eco-friendly apparel merchandising...

Optimising resource efficiency is essential for sustainable product lifecycle management (PLM). This motivates the use of novel methodologies such as sustainable design, circular economy concepts, and causal machine learning algorithms. This study focuses on repair as one of the circular economy...

Background: Remanufacturing products for sustainability involves layout and production planning, tools and equipment, material arrangement and handling, inventory management, technology integration, and more. This study presents an empirical vision through a discrete event simulation (DES) model...

Background: Due to the growing integration between the various logistics entities and other internal operations, packaging management in the automotive industry is becoming increasingly important from the strategic point of view of the logistics operations of automakers. Performance evaluation...

Background: The wide variety of terms that converge in reverse logistics have been more evident and discussed in the current context of the literature, such as reverse channels, reverse supply chain, closed-loop supply chain, and circular supply chain. Regarding this, this paper aimed to...

Purpose: This paper aims to identify the barriers for implementing Reverse Logistics in the construction sector and to rank the barriers between the barrier and the stakeholder, the phase in the project life cycle, and the relevant issues on the emergence of barriers in implementing reverse...

Decision-making on real-world problems, including individual process decisions, requires an appropriate and reliable decision support system. Fuzzy set theory, rough set theory, and neutrosophic set theory, which are MCDM techniques, are useful for modeling complex decision-making problems with...

Background: One of the ongoing challenges in freight transport operations is to balance efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability through the integration of sustainable practices to minimize the environmental impact. When it comes to truck payload and sustainability, the emphasis is on...

Background: Circular supply chains (CSCs) aim to minimize waste, extend product lifecycles, and optimize resource efficiency, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable practices. Machine learning (ML) can potentially enhance CSCs by improving resource management, optimizing processes, and...

Im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (BMWK) wurden von der Ad-hoc-Arbeitsgruppe (AhG) "Dekarbonisierung der Automobilen Wertschöpfungsketten" des Expertenkreises "Transformation der Automobilindustrie" (ETA) Handlungsempfehlungen erarbeitet, die dazu beitragen...

Purpose: Electronic devices consumption, especially smartphones for communication, have increased significantly, causing the potential for electronic waste to increase too. However, the high potential of this flow has not been matched by good waste management. This study aims to develop a...

Background: The growing concern for environmental and social issues has led to a focus on designing sustainable supply chains and increasing industrial responsibility towards society. In this paper, a multi-objective mixed-integer programming model is presented for designing a sustainable...

Background: This study investigated the impact of green supply chain management (GSCM) on circular economy (CE) performance. The mediating roles of three green innovation types, namely green product innovation, green process innovation, and green management innovation, are also examined....

This paper investigates the practicality of upholding supply chains’ resilience and sustainability using six aspects of closed-loop supply chain models considering circular economy (CLSMs). A plant-level survey was utilised to test the influence of CLSMs on resilience sustainability. A...
