“…In this process, the cellulosic portion of the textile material is discreted by solubilising in an alkaline liquor and then filtered to manufacture the viscose fiber. There is little information about this process that is still developing [76]. In an another technology, it has been offered that the disintegration and recycling of cellulose based and synthetic fibers via N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide can be further improved.…”

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.

“…There has been a certain amount of scientific reflection on the connections between space, time and environmental sustainability [3] and examination of ways in which biophysical processes, such as energy, air, water and soil nutrient flows, impact agroecosystem sustainability on various time and spatial scales [48]. We argue that the perceptions of sustainability on various scales held by land use stakeholders are equally important and need to be reflected in subsequent processes aimed at integrating stakeholders in sustainable land management strategies.…”

Sustainability in Land Management: An Analysis of Stakeholder Perceptions in Rural Northern Germany

2015

Successful sustainable land management efforts rely on stakeholder support and integration of stakeholder knowledge. This study explored the views of sustainable land management expressed by land use stakeholders and how these views contribute to land users' self-perceptions. We examined stakeholder perceptions in four case study areas in rural northern Germany. The target groups consisted of representatives from (i) agriculture; (ii) forestry; (iii) water management and (iv) rural planning and development ("cross-sector" representatives). The data were gathered using 60 semi-structured interviews and were analyzed qualitatively. The results indicate that differences in perceptions are greater between stakeholder groups than between regions; regional land management issues shape the framework of negotiations and the redefinition of concepts, whereas stakeholder group affiliations shape mindsets. The economic dimension of sustainability was emphasized, particularly by land managers; however, the social dimension was underrepresented in the statements. Furthermore, there are considerable differences between stakeholder groups in terms of the ways in which the spatial and temporal scales of sustainable land use are perceived. This study underscores the importance of examining stakeholder knowledge and understanding the complexity of land management and its benefits such that consensual management strategies may be developed.

“…A sustainable world is broadly demand as one in which humans can survive without Compromising the continued survival of future generations of humans in a healthy environment [3]. This anthropocentric view of sustainability allows us to consider the implications of, and necessities for, human existence in the world.…”

Abstract-software engineering is a principle role of our activity in social and economic life. Software engineers are starting to comprehend the significance of designing sustainability regarding software processes. The field of sustainable and green software and green software engineering is still young. Thus, in modern society, researches effort is mainly focused on green and sustainable software engineering itself. In other words, the aim of this study at hand aims an in-depth understanding of the related potential factors for the purpose of improving the recently reluctant trend of sustainability dimension in green software based on life cycle of green software product process. To reach this purpose, this study is reviewed latest research and used conceptual model. A conceptual model is rendered demonstrating the consolidated life cycles of sustainable product and principle sustainable measurement dimensions, for example, energy or information efficiency, low cost, Resource efficiency, Waste reduction, Equality support and human health.
