“…To design eco products, it is important to recognize that environmental aspects must be considered in the early phases of design, such as the planning and conceptual design phase [36]. It is estimated that over 80% of all product-related environmental impact stems from the design phase of a product [37,38]. Thus, eco design needs to be approached in an integrated perspective, from purchasing to delivery to customers.…”

Eco friendly management has received attention from business as an important competitive source. Thus, an emerging body of studies is interested in the implementation of green supply chain management (GSCM). Previous research in this field has acknowledged the importance of GSCM. However, the capability that enables a firm to successfully adopt GSCM is not well researched. This study empirically examines dynamic capability as an antecedent of GSCM, with the aim of proposing a causal relationship between dynamic capability and GSCM. The result of this study shows that implementing GSCM with dynamic capability enables a firm to achieve successful GSCM practices, and that this in turn leads to enhanced organizational performance.

“…During the 1990-1999 period the quantities produced in EU-15 were approximately 3.3-3.6 kg/resident, while estimated quantities for the 2000-2010 period vary between 3.9-4.3 kg/resident [5]. Using the equation (1), Swiss is estimated to produce 9 kg/person/year [10], the European population 14 kg/person/ year [11], with the total EU-15 production amounting to 5.5 Mt/ year and, in case of EU-27, 8.3-9.1 Mt/year [12]. USA produced approximately 2.6 Mt [2], while China produced 2.5 Mt in 2005 [13].…”

In this paper the environmental problems related with the discarded electronic appliances, known as e-waste, are reviewed. Moreover, the current and the future production of e-waste, the potential environmental problems associated with their disposal and management practices are discussed whereas the existing e-waste management schemes in Greece and other countries (Japan, Switzerland) are also quoted.

“…In Europe, a number of legislative documents have been drafted and/or implemented requiring manufacturers and other stakeholders to adopt an environmental approach to design and assess the environmental impact of their products throughout their lifecycle [36]. The main laws and regulations are: the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and the RoHS (Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances) Directives, created by the European Union.…”

The electronics industry is one of the most important industries in the world. It has grown steadily in recent decades, generates a great number of jobs, promotes technological development and, at the same time, fuels a high demand for raw materials that are considered scarce or rare (e.g. precious metals and rare earths elements).This development affects the environment in two ways: first through the large and growing amount of equipment that is discarded annually and second through the extraction of natural raw materials to supply the demand of the new equipment industry. Both can be measured by the amount of equipment that is produced and discarded annually by many countries.The main manufacturers and generators of electronic waste are considered to be developed or developing countries. According to Robinson [1], most electronic waste is generated in Europe and the United States. However, China, the countries of Eastern Europe and Latin America are becoming large generators of electronic waste.Estimates indicate that about 40 million tonnes of this waste are generated each year, or approximately 5 % of all solid waste generated in the world [2]. Another study, from Greenpeace, estimated that globally 20-50 million tonnes of WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) are discarded annually, with Asian countries disposing up to 12 million tonnes [3].Robinson [1] also estimated that computers, mobile phones and television sets alone would correspond to 5
