“…However, the existence of EMS has been shown to minimize the environmental impact, as pointed out by Tarbeev, et al [70] in the glass industry, Jafari and Lotfi Jalalabadi [71] in the oil industry in the Persian Gulf and Mohammedi and Teymouri [72] in the Zinc extractive industry in Iran.…”

Effect of Green Supply Chain Management Practices on Environmental Performance: Case of Mexican Manufacturing Companies

et al. 2022

Managers implement several Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices to improve sustainability and economic performance, such as environmental management systems (EMS), eco-design (ED), source reduction (SR) and attending to external environmental management (EEM) requirements; however, the relationship among them requires a deep study. This paper reports the case of the Mexican maquiladora industry, analyzing the main relationships among GSCM practices with environmental impact (EI) and environmental cost savings (ECS). The analysis reports three structural equation models (SEM) developed as simple, second-order, and mediating models. Those relationships are tested using 160 responses to a survey applied to the Mexican maquiladora industry and with partial least squares algorithms (PLS), where conditional probabilities for different scenarios in latent variables are also reported. Findings indicate that EMS has a direct effect on EI (β = 0.442) and ECS (β = 0.227), indicating that EMS reduces EI and cost associated with the production process; however, ED has no direct effect on EI (β = 0.019) and ECS ((β = 0.006), and it can be due to the maquiladora nature as foreign companies focused on manufacturing and not to product design.

“…The choice of indicators for this study was driven by the potential impact of the activity on overall project outcomes as they relate to GHG and sustainability, the boundaries and magnitude and practical aspects. Use of certified environmental management systems (EMS) has been found to result in business units striving to identify significant environmental aspects of their projects and taking actions accordingly (Wenblad, 2001;Tarbeev et al, 2004;Tan et al, 2011). However, it has also been observed that if not properly materialised through environmental performance measurement tools and indicators, the organisation can have difficulties measuring their environmental performance accurately (Lundberg et al, 2009).…”

Purpose – Most barriers and enablers of sustainable projects are related to procurement. The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework for evaluating green procurement practices throughout the lifecycle of road construction projects and demonstrates its application through an Australian case study. Design/methodology/approach – The study is based on linking the phases of road construction with incentive mechanisms for proactively motivating behavioural change. A holistic view on utilised and potential incentives is attempted with a literature review and a state-of-practice review. The latter is based on interviews and 90 policy and procurement documents across five Australian states. Findings – An evaluation framework with seven procurement stages is suggested to describe current state green procurement incentives throughout the delivery lifecycle of road construction projects. The Australian case study was found to provide useful data to identify gaps and strong points of the different states regarding their level of integration of sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reduction elements in their procurement practices. This understanding was used to draw recommendations on future advancement of green procurement. Originality/value – Government entities across the globe can impact considerably the achievement of sustainability and GHG targets, by using their procurement practices and requirements to create incentives for contractors and suppliers to engage in more GHG conscious practices. The present study provides a systematic account of how green procurement practices can be underpinned using the Australian road construction industry as a case study, and distinguish between strong and weak links in the green procurement chain to draw recommendations for future initiatives.

“…Economically, it would be convenient to use the high-energy potential of hot waste gases in recovery boilers for producing overheated steam or in gas turbines for producing electricity [1,2]. However, the dust contained in hot gases results in a rapid failure of any heat recuperators and the problem remains unsolved.…”

Porous Permeable Ceramics for Filter Elements Cleaning Hot Gases from Dust

et al. 2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The filtering characteristics (air permeability, efficiency) of porous permeable ceramic materials with different microstructures are determined. The requirements on ceramic filter elements are formulated; specifications for a module-type plant with ceramic filter elements are prepared. The use of these elements for cleaning hot gases from dust, apart from the ecological effect, yield an economic effect manifested as additional energy produced due to recovery of waste gas heat.
