This paper proposes a hybrid ISM-MICMAC-Fuzzy VIKOR framework to support decarbonization decisions in biofuel supply chains in emerging economies. It structures interrelationships among barriers/factors and ranks alternatives via multi-crit…

Ming-Yuan Ding

This study tackles objective trade-offs and weak topological response in green supply chain network design. It proposes an improved multi-objective evolutionary algorithm with a zero-return neural network tracking mechanism, built on a mixe…

This study quantifies production concentration of ten key minerals across Belt and Road Initiative countries using 2023 USGS data, computing HHI, CR4, and CR8. Nickel, cobalt, and lithium show the strongest concentration, while iron ore, co…

Jammeh, Bakary

This dataset provides EU-27 and extra-EU trade data (2015–2025) for critical raw materials (copper, cobalt, nickel, lithium, rare earths, PGMs), supplier concentration indicators (HHI, CR1–CR4), 2030 technology-level demand projections, and…

A qualitative study of 43 supply chain professionals using the Gioia method finds that decarbonization changes what power rests on without changing who holds it. Decarbonization becomes a new shared basis of dependence binding partners clos…

United Nations Economic Commission for Europe

This UNECE report monitors the Sustainability Pledge three years after launch, analyzing 110 pledges from brands, manufacturers, NGOs and initiatives (2021-2024) plus a progress survey of 62 pledgers. It outlines governance proposals includ…

Hossein Mollashahi, Elham Kalantari

A multi-objective optimization study for designing sustainable supply chain networks while accounting for particulate matter (PM) exposure and environmental uncertainty. It likely trades off cost, environmental burden, and health impacts. W…

Robert Dygas

This article analyzes critical mineral supply chains (lithium, cobalt, rare earths, nickel, copper) through a geoeconomic lens, showing how states and firms leverage control over extraction, processing, and manufacturing. It argues that sus…

Bruque S.

This paper proposes a practice-based Supply Chain Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SC-SBSC), adapting the balanced scorecard to integrate environmental and social metrics with financial performance for supplier and procurement management.…

Che C.

A theoretical modeling study of emission-reduction strategies in a dual-channel (direct + retail) supply chain that incorporates green finance. It examines how financing conditions and abatement incentives shape pricing and emission decisio…

Shah A.

This study assesses the life cycle techno-economics, energy use, and GHG emissions of corn stover supply systems for biobased industries, and identifies near-term practical improvement strategies. It shows how optimizing supply-chain stages…

Xuan Chen

A Stackelberg-Nash hybrid game model compares no-sharing, resource-sharing, and resource-sharing-with-carbon-cost scenarios in a consumer electronics closed-loop supply chain. Resource sharing raises total profit and recovery rates, while c…

This study formulates an order-driven multi-objective MINLP for tactical planning of a three-echelon dairy cold-chain network, coordinating DC selection, inventory, transport allocation, vehicle configuration, and refrigeration to minimize …

Benjamin Cox, Ben Murphy, Zahrana Nadifa Ramadhanty +2

This paper argues that decarbonizing the copper supply chain—critical for the energy transition—requires maximizing copper recovery and recycling. It links rising copper demand from renewables and electrification to the need to cut mining a…

Broeze J.

This work examines value-chain interventions to cut greenhouse gas emissions by reducing food loss and waste, spanning from farm production through distribution, retail and consumption. It links FLW reduction to emissions abatement and reso…

Col. Dr. BIBIN PAPPEN BABU

This paper proposes integrated blockchain-enabled industrial engineering frameworks to optimize closed-loop e-waste remanufacturing systems (CLRS). It couples distributed ledger technology with risk-aware optimization (e.g., CVaR), robust d…
