“…In the last decades, most researches have concentered on order picking strategy, in particular examining the energy usage in the forklift material handling, taking into account factors such as the pallet lift height and the routing of the non-road vehicles within the warehouse [31]. The choice of the Material Handling Equipment (MHE) characterized by low energy consumption is not the only strategy that allows for minimizing the environmental impact of the warehousing activities [32]. As a matter of fact, it is possible to ensure a low level of Carbon Footprint, with a minimal energy consumption, through adopting a specific material handling strategy through reducing the times of items retrieval and delivery in the warehouse [33].…”

This study aims to analyze the optimal warehouse layout for agricultural and food collecting centers that help small–medium farms to trade in the short food supply chain, by choosing among longitudinal, transversal, and fishbone layout. The developed model allows for the identification of the warehouse ensuring the least impact through inbound material handling, under both an economic and an environmental perspective. The analysis was carried out by using an analytical model to minimize the travelling time of the goods from picking to delivery area. The model considers the different turnover index from which four hypotheses were formulated to implement the results. The Carbon Footprint (CF) and Management Costs (MCs) were calculated by the picking time performance. Findings: Results show that the optimal warehouse layout can be identified after a careful consideration of the turnover indexes. However, for seasonality, the optimal design might be missed across the seasons. Practical implications: the analysis hereby presented is related to those collecting centers aiming to gather conspicuous amounts of seasonal food.

“…Based on companies and government in Australia, Fahimnia et al (2013) evaluate the influences of CLSC on the carbon footprint and find that variations in environmental impacts occur over ranges of carbon pricing. Based on household plastic waste recycling, Bing et al (2015) redesign the global reverse supply chain under the emission trading scheme and show that global relocation of re-processors leads to both a reduction of total costs and total transportation emission.Yet despite these initial efforts of modeling carbon emissions -an important phenomenon in today's Internet age -this literature neglects the issues of consumer free riding and e-commerce tax.…”

AbstractAnalyzing carbon emissions is critical for successfully managing sustainable production and consumption. In a dual channel supply chain that includes traditional retailers and online e-tailers, consumer free riding often occurs when consumers enjoy the services provided by a traditional retailer but make purchases at a lower price from an e-tailer. The specific aim of this paper, therefore, is to evaluate the impact of consumer free riding on a product's life cycle carbon emissions across a dual channel closed loop supply chain and to assess the effect of governmental e-commerce tax on carbon emissions. The study comprises a systematic comparison and numerical analysis of cases in which consumers do or do not free ride. Our results show that although manufacturers may gain economic benefits from consumer free riding behavior, total carbon emissions across the supply chain increase too, and a governmental tax on e-commerce can help reduce consumer free riding and total carbon emissions. But in consideration of social welfare maximization, a government may have to subsidize the e-tailer.2

Nevertheless, the role that could play inventory policies in the presence of environmental legislations is still not clear and more studies are necessary.…”

“…Devika et al (2014) presented and compared multiple-solution approaches to a multi-objective closed-loop network problem integrating the three pillars of sustainable development. Finally, Bing et al (2015) studied the design of a reverse supply chain subject to emission trading schemes. Focused on the household 120 plastic waste scenario, the authors gave insights on the impact of GHG reduction strategies on deciding relocation of re-processing centers.…”

The influence of environmental legislation in inventory control policies is explored. Previous work on product recovery is extended using the introduction 5 of a cap-and-trade mechanism in an infinite-horizon inventory system in which demand and returns are uncertain. Demand is met through two different sources namely manufacturing and remanufacturing, which differ in cost and greenhouse gas emissions. The main contributions of this paper are 1) comparison of system operation in terms of cost and environmental performance under conventional 10 and green inventory policies, and 2) managerial insights into the structure of green inventory policies. To illustrate the impact of a cap-and-trade scheme, a numerical example is used. We solved the problem as a Markov decision process, and characterized the inventory policies based on the optimal replenishment strategy. We also conducted a sensitivity analysis to examine the effect 15 of underlying environmental parameters such as the emission cap and the allowance price in the policy structures. The results indicate that decisions are sensitive to carbon prices. The inventory policy could play an important role in compliance with environmental legislation, although there is threshold carbon price beyond which the company must focus on strategic decisions rather than 20 tactical decisions.
