“…The authors in [ 5 ] identify additional potential candidate products that are outside of the current Australian National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme through an AHP-rating model. The authors in [ 72 ], studying the management of the WEEE recycling phase, support the definition of facility location and the national WEEE management policy. The authors in [ 74 ] apply the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to evaluate the addition of new mandatory recycled waste to the WEEE list.…”

“…In particular, the variables of the described literature allow various factors to be analyzed. They guarantee an adequate distance from water bodies in order to minimize the major concern of pollution and toxicities of water resource [ 72 ]. Criteria for preserving water quality also allow for minimization of wastewater generation [ 47 , 75 , 77 ] and improvement in water purification and recycling [ 6 ].…”

“…Similarly, minimizing the use of energy allows the achievement of economic and environmental objectives at the same time [ 75 ]. Preferring sites in areas far from biodiversity and natural habitats, reducing the possible interaction between WEEE and living organisms, helps to mitigate the possible toxic impact of substances released during e-waste management processes [ 72 ]. The widespread diffusion of criteria that refer directly to mandatory regulatory aspects, but also to voluntary green certification protocols, guarantee continuous improvement in performance and a competitive advantage on the reference markets [ 49 , 52 , 54 , 60 , 64 ].…”

The global demand for electrical and electronic equipment has undergone continuous growth in recent years due to the effect of industrialization and technological development. This indicates substantial quantities of e-waste that need to be managed properly to reduce their environmental impact and to avoid inappropriate forms of disposal. The purpose of this paper is to review the most popular multi-criteria decision-making approaches applied to the management of waste electrical and electronic equipment, analyzing how they are used to contribute to the improvement of management strategies along the entire supply chain. For this purpose, a methodological protocol for the collection, selection, and analysis of the scientific literature was applied, identifying 44 papers on which to conduct this study. The results showed that numerous authors have developed multi-criteria approaches, with particular attention to recycling phase. The analytic hierarchy process is the most widespread multi-criteria approach, often coupled with VIKOR, DELPHI, and TOPSIS methods. The numerous decision making criteria adopted cover different reference dimensions: environmental, economic, social, technical, and legal. Considering environmental aspects also in decision making processes means enhancing the relevance of this dimension, as well as encouraging practices that reduce the impact of toxic substances on the environment and living organisms.

A value chain framework for guiding the financial firms in their credit decisions is urgent, as the current COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted, but missing in the extant literature, particularly for those that lend to industries sensitive to value and supply chain bottlenecks. This study creates knowledge in value chain finance, a big untapped and un-researched market. It constructs, confirms, and validates a value chain framework for assessing risks in lending to Agro and Food Processing firms in which value chain risks are major business concerns globally. To pursue the objectives of the study, we use a novel methodology that integrates the Modified Delphi technique, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and discriminant analysis. Based on testing and analysis of primary data, including loan data, a framework comprising six factors is proposed for use in conjunction with existing risk assessment models of finance companies to improve the quality of their credit decisions, contributing to their performance sustainability.agro-food, bankruptcy, default risk, risk management, supply chain financing, value chain | INTRODUCTIONIncreasing modernization is causing higher integration and interdependence among firms across the value chain. Technology has connected value chains globally, providing new opportunities for small companies and market players from developing countries and emerging-market economies to partake in the world economy as they are now not required to hold expertise in all the stages of production and distribution (OECD, 2021). Technology-enabled changes over the last many years have also magnified the swiftness and size of disruptions in an unprecedented manner, which conjoined with increasing trends of globalization, urbanization, environmental performance concerns, and shifting demographics are amplifying and intensifying uncertainty in the marketplace (Lee & Trimi, 2021). The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020 is estimated to have caused combined revenue losses of up to $4 trillion in U.S. and European firms from supply chain disruptions (Mitchell, 2021). It has highlighted and advanced the need for firms to bring changes in their traditional business models for sustaining performance in periods of crisis (Breier et al., 2021;Khan et al., 2021). Sixty-four percent of U.S. and European firms had revenue losses between 6% and 20% in 2020, along with severe damage to their brand value (Mitchell, 2021). Although the COVID-19 in present times is a significant disruptor responsible for straining and breaking the value chains, it is only one among other disruptive forces such as cyberattacks, diverging regulations, and instability in commodity prices (Clark, 2021). Companies across industries can expect significant financial loss causing value chain disruptions every 3.7 years
