A molded expanded polystyrene (EPS) cushion is a flexible, closed-cell foam that can be molded to fit any packing application and is effective at absorbing shock. However, the packaging waste of EPS cushions causes pollution to landfills and the environment. Despite being known to cause pollution, this sustainable packaging actually has the potential to reduce this environmental pollution because of its reusability. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the accurate design parameter that can be emphasized in producing a sustainable design of EPS cushion packaging. An experimental method of drop testing and design simulation analysis was conducted. The effectiveness of the design parameters was also verified. Based on the results, there are four main elements that necessitate careful consideration: rib positioning, EPS cushion thickness, package layout, and packing size. These parameter findings make a significant contribution to sustainable design, where these elements were integrated directly to reduce and reuse packaging material. Thus, it has been concluded that 48 percent of the development cost of the cushion was decreased, 25 percent of mold modification time was significantly saved, and 27 percent of carbon dioxide (CO₂) reduction was identified. The findings also aided in the development of productive packaging design, in which these design elements were beneficial to reduce environmental impact. These findings had a significant impact on the manufacturing industry in terms of the economics and time of the molded expanded polystyrene packaging development.

Ensuring energy performance management is important in many ways, such improvement of energy efficiency and decrease of energy costs are reduced. There are various indicators of the effectiveness of energy performance management of buildings. Due to this situation, businesses need to make the necessary improvements for the development of these factors. Nonetheless, these actions cause an increase in the costs of the companies. Hence, among these actions, the more important ones need to be identified. Owing to this issue, businesses can use their limited budgets for more priority indicators. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the main indicators of energy performance management systems. In this way, a new model is proposed to make a priority analysis for the hospitals. Firstly, five indicators of energy performance management systems are selected by considering ISO 50006 standards. Furthermore, these indicators are weighted by using Spherical fuzzy CRITIC. Secondly, G7 countries are examined with fuzzy RATGOS technique. Identification of the most significant indicators of the energy performance systems is an important novelty of this study. The most significant methodological novelty of this study is proposing a new technique to the literature named RATGOS. It is understood that energy efficiency is the most crucial indicator of energy performance management. Furthermore, it is also identified that France is the most successful G7 economy with respect to the energy performance management. Japan and United States have also high performance in this respect. It is recommended that necessary actions should be taken to increase energy efficiency. By conducting an energy audit, energy consumption data is analyzed so that energy losses and inefficiencies can be detected. This assessment provides opportunities for energy efficiency and hels identify improvement strategies.

Improving the energy efficiency of manufacturing industry is a globally common choice to pursue sustainable development and achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Networked manufacturing is a new business model formed under enterprise informatization. Networked manufacturing mode has some environmental characteristics that affect its energy saving potential, for example machining devices are numerous and scattered, manufacturing services are driven by customer orders, and significant random uncertainty occurs in manufacturing processes. This paper proposes a framework for equipment resource energy-saving selection and scheduling in networked manufacturing environment, mainly including: 1) Developing a fuzzy multi-objective decision-making model that takes into account economy, energy consumption, technology, and inter-enterprise collaboration, in pursuit of the selection of machining devices and logistics equipment to increase energy efficiency during the customer orders demand stage; 2) Establishing an energy-saving scheduling model for equipment resources based on non-cooperative game theory to meet the diverse needs of customers, that can balance the competitive interests between customer orders, and reduce manufacturing energy consumption, costs, and delivery dates in manufacturing tasks implementation stage; 3) In order to deal with random disturbance in the networked manufacturing, a scheduling model for equipment resources based on random chance constraint programming is built to optimize energy, economy, and production efficiency at the preventive stage of manufacturing tasks change; 4) A cloud platform implementation method of the proposed framework is briefly summarized. The framework plays common theoretical analysis that is significant to energy-saving allocation of the equipment resources in networked manufacturing.
