Development of a model of barriers to environmentally conscious manufacturing implementation

Institutional Forces and Environmental Management Strategy: Moderating Effects of Environmental Orientation and Innovation Capability

“…From RBV, differences in firms' strategy are the result of differences in possessing and allocating resources/capabilities by firms (Barney et al, 2011). The barrier for firms to develop an EMS mainly lies in how their allocation and coordination of resources/capabilities is aligned to environmental management (Mittal et al, 2014). A proactive EMS represents a choice of actions by being more innovative in order to transform environmental investments into sources of competitive advantage and eventually to profit from such investments (Porter & Kramer, 2006).…”

Case Study Analysing Potentials to Improve Material Efficiency in Manufacturing Supply Chains, Considering Circular Economy Aspects

“…Rizos et al [19] conducted a detailed literature review to identify potential barriers. Luken et al, Mittal and Bey et al supplement this survey of barriers [24][25][26]. Some drivers, which are analysed in Dervojeda et al [27], enable the change towards a circular economy.…”

Impact of Competitive Capabilities on Sustainable Manufacturing Applications in Romanian SMEs from the Textile Industry

“…As a result, these enhancements in products and processes can also increase the adaptability of manufacturing operations and speed up product and responsiveness to customers [25]. Hence, sustainable manufacturing can yield valuable products with a high sustainable impact through the efficient use of resources [29]. In total, SMP can minimise the cost of production and add value to the final product with less environmental and social impact [39].…”

“…Schrettle et al [32] considered environmental pressures as exogenous factors that influence organisations' sustainability practices beside local and international environmental regulations. Mittal and Sangwan [29] revealed that environmental pressures are ranked second by experts in terms of their influence on sustainable manufacturing. Customers' environmental concerns, for example, drive firms to make their products and services green sensitive since customers usually prefer products that are environmentally friendly [27].…”

“…Roni et al [27] considered that the legislation and incentives imposed by the local government have forced Malaysian manufacturers to consider SMP of high priority. Using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), Shankar et al [28] and Mittal and Sangwan [29] analysed common factors of green manufacturing in Indian and Malaysian organisations. They indicated that current and imminent legislation are one of the top factors that lead to efficient resource utilization and clean production in manufacturing organisations.…”
