“…The timing decision on service effort provided by the BM stores was considered. Zhang et al [33] set up an optimal production model, which analyzed the manufacturer's production decisions, parameter sensitivity, and economic and environmental impact. Polat and Gungor [24] propose a mixed-integer programming model for decisionmakers to manage their activities in the WEEE closed-loop supply chain network.…”

An O2O supply chain consisting of a manufacturer with online direct channel and a retailer who resells through a brick-and-mortar store is considered. Three channel power structures (vertical Nash, manufacturer Stackelberg and retailer Stackelberg) and three pricing sequences (simultaneous pricing, manufacturer pricing early, retailer pricing early) are considered. Counter-intuitively, under the manufacturer Stackelberg structure, the retailer has a first-mover advantage and retailer-pricing-early achieves Pareto optimality. In the other cases, the manufacturer and the retailer have a late-mover advantage. Under the vertical Nash structure, both parties may get into prisoner’s dilemma. Extending the basic model to dynamic pricing, we found that the first mover of sequential pricing has better stability. The retailer Stackelberg structure has better stability than the vertical Nash structure and the manufacturer Stackelberg is the most unstable power structure. To avoid the negative impact of equilibrium price instability, the vertical and horizontal price matching mechanisms are proposed and the effectiveness in improving stability is proved.

“…Liu et al [3] explored the EPC contract design of building reconstruction under decentralized and centralized decision making, that is, the decisions on the distribution of EPC saving, contract term and project investment. Zhang et al [2] compared the equilibrium solutions with or without EPC and with or without carbon trading respectively and found that the interaction between EPC and carbon trading regulation can reduce carbon emissions and increase corporate profits. Xu et al [1] considered a two-echelon supply chain composed of a single supplier and two manufacturers with asymmetric funds and discussed the impact of the revenue sharing rates and variable cost coefficients on suppliers' profits, as well as which kind of manufacturers the supplier preferred to provide EPC services.…”

“…At present, part of the research on EPC analyzes its implementation in the field of manufacturing [2], and is relatively rare in the context of supply chain [1]. On the other hand, the decider of the emission reduction targets in existing research on EPC is almost all the Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) which are the main investor of EPC services [1][2][3]. However, under low-carbon policies, EPC clients with emission reduction demand have a better understanding of their own emission reduction needs and are closer to consumers with low-carbon preference.…”

Energy performance contracting (EPC) is a new tool for supply chain members to cooperate in emission reduction. This paper investigates a two-tier supply chain composed of a supplier and a capital-constricted manufacturer with carbon reduction demand under different low-carbon policies (Cap-and-Trade Regulation and Carbon Tax Policy, respectively). The manufacturer is motivated to cooperate with the supplier to reduce carbon emissions through EPC services. Different from other research, the emission reduction decision maker of EPC services in this paper could be any supply chain member. The results show that cap-and-trade regulation and carbon tax policy have the same impact on the optimal pricing and emission reduction decisions in the monopoly supply chain, but the manufacturer’s profit is higher under cap-and-trade regulation. And when the cost-sharing coefficient is within a low range, the emission reduction targets decided by the manufacturer are lower. Otherwise, the targets decided by the supplier are lower. Moreover, supply chain members can obtain higher profits when the reduction targets are determined by themselves, and supply chain coordination under different decision models could be realized through revenue sharing contracts. Considering the total profit of the supply chain, when the cost-sharing rate is within a low range, the supply chain can achieve a Pareto improvement if the supplier determines the emission reduction targets. Otherwise, the reduction targets decided by the manufacturer can realize a Pareto improvement.

“…In this case, production promotion effect expands the profit, but also increases emissions, which is not conducive to win-win situation. This may be caused by the rebound effect, that is, although technological advancement improves the rate of resource utilization, that same advancement leads to an increase in resources used, leading to an increase in emissions (Raz et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2020).…”

By-product synergy (BPS) is an innovative method to convert waste into valuable by-products effectively. Based on a three-echelon supply chain composed of an upstream manufacturer, a processing plant with limited processing capacity, and a downstream manufacturer, this study derives the production quantity and waste disposal decisions of the upstream and downstream manufacturers as well as the optimal transfer price decision of the processing plant. Moreover, we assess the environmental performance of BPS. Analytical results suggest that the upstream manufacturer's production quantity and waste disposal decisions and the processing plant's transfer price decision are threshold dependent on the processing plant's capacity, whereas the downstream manufacturer's production quantity decision is threshold dependent on the processing plant's capacity and price of raw materials. BPS is beneficial for all members of the supply chain to increase profit. The production promotion and cost-saving effects ensure that the supply chain members maximize their profit. However, BPS does not always have a positive effect on the environment; when the processing plant's capacity and price of raw materials are below the threshold, implementing BPS results in a win-win situation of economic and environmental benefits.
