“…Sustainability was described as "meeting the needs of today's needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" [28]. In the economy of sustainable development; consumption of resources, the non-renewable energy sources or the destruction of valuable natural capital is not permitted [29]. In this regard, sustainable development can be identified as a balance between man and environment, programming the life and development of todays and future generations in such a way as to enable them to meet and develop the needs of future generations [30].…”

The public awareness and the growing perception of social cognizance about the environment have forced the textile industry to produce environmentally friendly products. For this reason, nowadays many companies and organizations focus on the environmentally friendly way of production. In order to create a sustainable textile, the main change factors have been linked to eco-materials so less and harmless waste, reusing/recycling, lesser usage of energy, water and chemicals and ethical issues in production processes. This article emphasizes the environmental effects of textiles in detail and contributes to cleaner production and sustainability in the textile industry by initiating a discussion on the opportunities for change in textile processes in accordance with the laws.

“…The growth of environmentalism (Stern et al 1999) has affected businesses systems and models by introducing new concepts and models of business like sustainable business model (Bocken et al 2014) and green manufacturing (Deif 2011) or cleaner production (United Nations Environment Programme 2007;Fresner 1998).…”

“…The EFQM Excellence Model claims that it can provide a ''holistic tool'' for assessing effectiveness of any business in developing and delivering a stakeholderfocused strategy. However, with the emergence of new concepts and models like sustainable business model (Bocken et al 2014) and green manufacturing (Deif 2011) or cleaner production (Fresner 1998), adoptability of this model as a useful tool for bringing excellence to these new models is a matter of concern. The excellence model proposed for cleaner production has a limited perspective and cannot be generalized to more comprehensive model such as sustainable business model (Sustainable Business Association 2007).…”

''Environmental issues'' along with raising awareness of people about the value of ecological systems and the growth of environmentalism have affected businesses systems and models by introducing new concepts and models for business such as sustainable business model. European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) Excellence Model provides a clear path for a company to follow in order to achieve its planned results which can be called sustainable business. The purpose of this study is to explore whether the mentioned model is suitable for the businesses that are based on cleaner production and sustainable business models. The method used in this study is an explorative one based on the literature review and exploration of the adaptability of EFQM Excellence Model (2013), including its fundamental concepts and its criteria, to eight archetypes of sustainable business. The results showed that out of eight fundamental concepts of this model, four are aligned with sustainable business model and four need redefining. Moreover, it was found that environmentalism should be added to the five enablers of the model, and results criteria of it needed to be restructured and redefined. In conclusion, it was shown that despite adoptability of the fundamental concepts of EFQM Excellence Model, there were some lacking criteria for adapting them to sustainable business model. Having this in mind, a modified type of model with the new defined criteria was proposed in this study.

“…The move towards dematerialization has been amplified with the opportunities opened out by ICTs (Heiskanen et al 2001) capable of providing monitoring systems allowing real-time adaptation of services and facilitating maintenance. New production models concentrating on environmental preoccupations such as industrial ecology (Lowe et al 1995), eco-design (Brezet and van Hemel, 1997) and cleaner production (Fresner, 1998), have been proposed.…”

Abstract. High-technology SMEs have regularly shown their capacities for creating and developing innovative services. However, their reduced size often confines them to vertical applications and limits the possibilities for broader development. Strategies grouping SMEs into collaborative networks are possible but sometimes need a strong leader to ensure credibility. On the other hand, large integrator-operators cannot be proficient in all the necessary domains, particularly when applications move very fast. They very much need the diversity and the dynamics of these SMEs to provide service packages with a common service backbone. Uniting the different actors is a challenge displaying good promises from various perspectives including sustainability. However it is necessary that the links between the different partners and their corresponding activities be correctly represented in a model to be understood. This paper proposes a new model for activities and processes in firms collaborating together in a network. The clearer understanding of organization acquired with the model is then used to discuss sustainability issues within the network.
