“…The authors suggest localizing this model in all factory departments, according to environmental conditions for optimal application [37]. Yousefi et al (2023) have developed a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) framework for sustainable production planning of paper recycling systems, aiming to minimize waste. The authors incorporated sustainability criteria and uncertainty considerations to construct the evaluation criteria for the production plan, further weighting these criteria using the best-worst method (BWM) technique.…”

“…By applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, they devised a decision support framework (DSF) to assist managers and practitioners in making more accurate decisions regarding production planning. The proposed DSF also addresses weaknesses in existing approaches, thereby increasing their effectiveness, and results in significant savings of approximately 75% in terms of human resource time [38]. Feng et al (2023) developed and evaluated a multi-tier supply chain sustainability framework applied to the Chinese pulp and paper industry.…”

Background: The pulp and paper industry (P&PI) is undergoing significant disruption driven by global megatrends that necessitate advanced tools for predicting future behavior and adapting strategies accordingly. Methods: This work utilizes a multi-criteria framework to quantify the effects of digitalization, changes in social behavior, and sustainability as three major megatrends transforming the P&PI industry, with a specific focus on hygiene tissue products. Thus, the research combines a comprehensive literature review, insights from a Delphi study, and topic modeling to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the present and future impacts of these global megatrends. Results: The findings suggest an urgent need to identify alternative raw materials to prevent potential supply chain disruptions. Moreover, due to shifts in social behavior, it becomes critical for businesses to substantiate their sustainability claims with hard data to avoid the risk of a “greenwashing” perception among consumers. Conclusions: This study provides decision support for strategic planning by highlighting actionable insights, quantitative predictions, and trend analysis, alongside the examination of consumer and market trends. It aims to incorporate diverse stakeholder perspectives and criteria into decision-making processes, thereby enriching the strategic planning and sustainability efforts within the P&PI industry.
