“…Another example can be found in the textile industry; Wambuguh and Chianelli () argue that it is possible to turn wastewater problems into business opportunities through recovery of indigo dye waste from denim production, producing pigments that the paint industry can use. Moreover, Lee and Tongarlak () point out possibilities for waste reduction in food distribution, and Wolf and Petersson () show how Swedish forest firms have engaged in several by‐product exchanges with other firms.…”

Summary Decisions on organizational boundaries are critical aspects of manufacturing firms’ business strategies. This article brings together concepts and findings from industrial ecology and business strategy in order to understand how manufacturing firms engage in initiatives to facilitate recycling of process wastes. Based on a distinction between waste recovery and use of the recovered resources, the article introduces a typology of four different strategies: Closed, Outsourcing, Diversification, and Open. Each strategy has a unique set of organizational boundaries and is associated with different motives and benefits for the manufacturing firm. The typology of strategies provides a conceptual contribution to assist industrial managers in strategic decision‐making, and to support further studies on organizational boundaries in industrial ecology research.

“…Fairness, one of the most important elements in the social responsibilities of AFSCs, has gained attention from many scholars and experts [14][15][16][17][18]. For example, Orgut et al studied how to distribute donated food in a fair and effective way under capacity constraints [15].…”

“…An analysis of Equations (18) and (19) shows that when λ F = 1, the loss-averse farmers' expected utility is equal to the loss-neutral farmers' expected profit, i.e., EU wrr F2 (I) = EU wrr F1 (I) = Eπ wrr F (I). We now discuss the conditions for reaching the optimal sustainable investment level in the SAFSC among farmers with different loss preferences in Proposition 5.…”

Weather Risk–Reward Contract for Sustainable Agri-Food Supply Chain with Loss-Averse Farmer

Compared with the traditional agri-food supply chain (AFSC) whose only goal is to maximize economic benefits, the sustainable agri-food supply chain (SAFSC) starts to attract more attention. Typical challenges faced by SAFSC development are unfair pricing of produce, yield uncertainty caused by adverse weather, as well as conflict and cooperation between stakeholders and sustainable activities of SAFSC. In this paper, we establish a two-echelon decision-making model consisting of a loss-averse farmer and a loss-neutral company. A guaranteed price mechanism is contrived to mitigate the effects of uncertain procurement price on the farmers’ profit. It is found that this mechanism can improve the sustainable investment level but fails to reach the optimal level of the SAFSC system. Thus, a risk–reward contract taking into account the weather index (temperature) and the degree of loss aversion is designed. Results show that this contract can settle the distortion of the sustainable investment level and effectively motivate farmers to participate in the sustainable agricultural practice. Furthermore, we derive the conditions on the contract parameters under which both the company and the farmer are motivated to exert efforts to stand by sustainable agricultural practice.

“…Waste in retail also gets attention among researches. Some see waste as an incorrect demand, where there is negative impact on companies' profits (Lee & Tongarlak, 2017) and increase of carbon emission (Hooge et al, 2017). This way, waste reduction is the responsibility of the whole community, based on awareness policies in politics, social and environmental sphere (Cicatiello et al, 2016).…”

Retailers play the role of intermediaries between suppliers and customers. As key players in the market, retail managers, pressured to change their business based on sustainable development principles, they need to adjust their daily practices and disseminate information about their impacts and contributions to the sustainable development of their companies. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to understand the relations between the terms: sustainability, retail and supply chains by reviewing the literature in two databases: Scopus and Science Direct. As results, there has been an increase in studies related to the themes in the last 20 years. The areas with the highest concentration of studies are: Operations, Marketing, Consumer Behavior, Government Policies and Certifications. As contributions of the study, the following topics were highlighted for future research: Collaboration, Waste, Consumer Behavior, Value Creation, Communication, On-line Commerce, Retail Planning, Logistics, Product Lifecycle, Remanufacturing, Gas Emission, Certifications, Technology and Information Systems, and Environmental Policies.
