“…The Analytic Hierarchy Process, Goal Programming, and the Multi-Attributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis for solving ranking cases between alternatives are a few examples of appropriate evaluation methods and tools to support the sustainability implementation in planning/design practices that were reviewed by Morano et al in 2021 [34]. The creation of composite indicators for gauging socioeconomic well-being and the relative variation following unexpected occurrences have also been covered in the reference literature [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. Long et al (2020) depicted the sustainable performance of an islands-set in China referring to ecological wellbeing performance by the integration of the Three-Dimensional Ecological Footprint and Urban-Scale Human Development Index [35].…”

“…Shah et al (2019) used the Energy Security and Environmental Sustainability Index, which combines energy and environmental indicators, to monitor energy security and environmental sustainability of South Asian countries [36]. Hansuebsai et al (2020) introduced an environmental performance index to evaluate the activities of a printing house based on three impacts: carbon footprint, volatile organic compound emissions, and waste [37]. Richter and Behnisch (2019) combined geostatistical methods (landscape structure metrics, spatial multi-criteria assessment, weighting approaches) and a multitude of data related to environmental concerns.…”

“…Vukoszavlyev (2019) studied the connection of innovation in 126 countries by different well-being indicators and whether there are differences among geographical regions with respect to the Global Innovation Index [43]. These primary implementations focus on three main goals: (i) monitoring of the environment with energy usage [35,36,43,44]; (ii) study of the long-term consequences of territorial policies aimed (for example) at reducing the risk of natural catastrophes [37][38][39][45][46][47][48][49][50]; and (iii) tracking the economic growth at the country level in relation to the well-being status and ecosystem condition [39][40][41][42][43]. In the latter, the creation of sensitivity indices was put to the test in an effort to enhance knowledge of vulnerability and future forecasts of it in territorial analysis techniques.…”

The issue of sustainability is central to development strategies. Although this alignment is acknowledged and shared world-wide, territorial development in a sustainable light must also take the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic into consideration, specifically by evaluating the effects of COVID-19 on the global health, social order, and economic-environmental system. The research suggests a sensitivity index to gauge the degree of territorial sustainability taking the COVID-19 pandemic’s impacts into account. A study set of countries, as identified by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), is used to test the developed index. The index evaluates a country’s performance in terms of economic, social, and environmental sustainability while also considering the relative risk of COVID-19. The proposed index measures territorial sustainability from a variety of angles by enabling comparisons between the circumstances before and after current shocks in the socioeconomic and environmental performance frames by pandemic emergency. The index was created using an integrated assessment method that was based on the Choquet Integral (CI) mathematical framework and Multi-Attributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis (MAIRCA). The study establishes a unique and up-scaling methodology for constructing the sensitivity index, significantly advancing the suggestions for sustainable accounting under uncertain circumstances at the territorial scale. Adopting indices that quantify territorial sustainability under uncertainty may help guide policy decisions from an investment programming viewpoint, particularly when it comes to allocating financial resources to the economic sectors most impacted by shock events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

As all kinds of self-contained display products have become popular, various technologies for improving printing applications have gradually been ignored or even stagnated. However, the number of printed matters in life has not decreased. Every day our lives are full of various printed materials, such as newspapers, magazines, leaflets, product packaging, and so on. The waste and pollution caused by printing technology are usually recessive, and not everyone values it. Unfortunately, people often overlook the waste of resources and environmental pollution caused by the manufacturing process, ink, toner, and printers. The method proposed in this paper uses a color difference model to find a manner that is not easy to notice by the human eye to save ink. The proposed method considers feasibility and practicability, and users can quickly find suitable settings for their applications. Also, through the actual printed pictures, the experimental results show that only 67.57% of the original ink consumption is required to obtain an equivalent print quality that is difficult to perceive by the human eye. Our proposed method will benefit the printing industry and reduce ink consumption on consumer printers, contributing to cost control and being nature-friendly.INDEX TERMS Image processing, image quality, image color analysis, green products.

“…Presently in India, most of the companies are using SB inks for rotogravure printing due to good printability, machinability, excellent drying, and having no issues like foaming, pH, adhesion etc (Epa 2001). Most of the printing units are trying to reduce the VOCs emissions and CFPs from their printing process, including utilizing the supply chain cycle e ciently (Kliopova-Galickaja and Kliaugaite 2018; Hansuebsai et al 2020). Printing ink consists of pigment, resin, functional additives, and vehicles.…”

Organic solvents have been frequently and excessively used in the printing process for a long time. The use of organic solvents in solvent-based ink is responsible for fire hazards, volatile organic compounds emission, and high manufacturing cost during printing. The present study aimed at replacing solvent based ink with water-based ink for reducing the volatile organic compounds emissions and carbon footprints in gravure printing without affecting overall printing quality. The PET film was printed with a water-based ink laser engraved cylinder having reduced cell depth and it resulted in the transfer of a low volume of inks on printing substrate. The cost of printing one kg of polyester film with water-based ink was reduced by US$ 1.95 compared to solvent-based ink. The volatile organic compounds emissions for water-based ink were measured at 2478 ppm against 3373 ppm for solvent-based ink. The water-based ink reduced the carbon footprint by 3.04 kg, which was equivalent to CO2 during printing of one kg polyester film used for making flexible pouches compared to solvent-based ink. The outcome of this study may be the benchmark to authorities for green manufacturing systems in gravure printing applications for the betterment of the environment and humanity.
