“…For example, the industrial wastewater created by firms in the electronic and chemical engineering industry contains phenol, arsenic, mercury, and other poisonous materials that may cause serious water pollution if not handled appropriately (Song et al, 2019; Wu & Liu, 2022). The industrial waste gas generated by firms in the textile, paper, and printing industries may include particulate matter, ammonia gas, hydrothion, and methane that may incur air pollution if relevant pollution abatement technology and equipment were not applied (Andrade et al, 2012; Pulat et al, 2009). The industrial residue produced by firms in the metal and materials industry may cover slag, fly ash, and poisonous vanado‐titanium catalysts that may harm the ecological environment and reduce resource utilization efficiency if not coped with according to the environmental protection policy (Li et al, 2014; Norgate et al, 2007).…”

The coopetition perspective proposes that a firm's value creation relies on its ability to manage both cooperation and competition in supply chains. Recent theorizing in green supply chain management suggests that critical sustainability management practices may be affected by the coopetition relations between manufacturers and suppliers. We extend to study the coopetition perspective by verifying whether coopetition relations between manufacturers and suppliers, such as coopetition, cognitive, and affective conflict caused by competition, and the combination between cooperation and cognitive/affective conflict, impact a firm's ability and motivation to implement green management (GM). Furthermore, the coopetition perspective suggests that the effects of coopetition relations between two parties are enhanced when the coopetition relations match the salient partner's characteristics, a phenomenon regarded as coopetition fit. As a test of this idea, we prove how the role of coopetition relations is differently influenced by one such partner's characteristics, that is, the supplier's decision‐making logic. Our findings indicate that coopetition relations between manufacturers and suppliers have different effects on manufacturing firms' GM. We also have evidence that these relationships are moderated by effectuation.

“…Zinc ions are harmful to humans and other biological systems, and they are particularly common in printing wastewater (Kiurski et al 2009;Noonpui et al 2010). The most common form of waste gas emissions are various gases and volatile organic compounds (VOC) arising from process chemicals and cleaning solutions (Guo et al 2004;Caselli et al 2009;Andrade et al 2012).…”

This paper, through certain printing techniques, examines the types of occupational pollutants and the adverse impacts of the printing process. Also, it proposes the measures for better preservation and environmental protection. The paper analyzes the results of the quantitative identification of hazardous materials from various printing techniques: pad, screen, offset, flexographic, and digital. The study included the analysis of waste printing inks and purification of printing wastewater with adsorption methods. Besides that, the preliminary monitoring of ambient indoor air quality was performed. The multiple regression analysis was applied on the obtained experimental results, in order to determine the mutual correlation between the ozone and the total volatile organic compounds and microclimate parameters. It was observed that a quantitative correlation exists between the investigated occupational hazards, which also indicate the strength of the agreement. The obtained results could be useful to evaluate the tendency of hazardous air pollutants in printing industries worldwide.

“…The "principle of subsidiarity" determines who will deal with waste management, taking into account factors such as transport costs, efficiency and benefits resulting from the proximity of the place of waste production and processing [11]. A special group of waste is chemical waste that, due to its properties (flammability, explosiveness, toxicity and others), is classified as hazardous waste [12][13][14] and requires proper handling [15], with particular care. Chemical waste includes waste oils [16], waste-containing asbestos, medical and veterinary waste, expired plant protection products and household chemicals [17].…”

This article discusses the potential of using computer-simulation methods in processes such as thermal waste conversion, i.e., pyrolysis, gasification, combustion and torrefaction. These methods are gaining in importance, among others, due to the difficulties in execution and high costs associated with conducting experimental research in real conditions or the need to obtain detailed data on the phenomenon under study in a relatively short time. Computer simulation also allows for numerous errors to be avoided, such as those that may occur during optimization activities, the effects of which may have serious consequences, both economic and environmental. In addition to their many advantages, the limitations and disadvantages of using computer-simulation methods were also indicated, mainly related to the interpretation and validation of the results obtained using modelling. Owing to the complexity of the phenomena occurring during thermal conversion, special attention was focused on models based on chemical kinetics, thanks to which it is possible to predict the quantitative and qualitative composition of products in these processes. The aim of this research is to identify the research gap in the field of issues related to models of chemical kinetics of thermal waste conversion processes.
