“…Each of these initiatives requires adequate resources and capability building. Large corporations are positively related to eco-design by having more resources and capabilities to attempt costly or risky environmental investments (Singhal, 2013; Wu, 2013).…”

“…Renewable energy, sustainable material selection, durability, modularity, maintainability, disassembly, eco-friendly transportation and green packaging characterize the eco-design practices. Some general and popular eco-design strategies include design for reduction/elimination, design for reuse, design for recyclability (recovery), design for remanufacturing and design for resource efficiency (Singhal, 2013). It has been integrated into ISO standards (ISO 14040, 2006; ISO 14006, 2011; ISO 14001, 2015), which is central to greening of organizations.…”

Purpose This paper comprehensively and systematically reviews and critiques the product eco-design practice in green supply chain management studies. It seeks to explore drivers, barriers and initiatives of eco-design practice with a specific emphasis on China in comparison to non-China countries. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopts a systematic literature review approach. It also uses a conceptual thematic landscape of the global eco-design practice along supply chains to critically evaluate published studies. The Web of Science™ Core Collection database is used as the source. Findings Results show that although common factors exist, China exhibits a higher number of barriers, leading to an overall lag in eco-design adoption. China’s advantage lies in pressing market demand, actively engaged human resources and a cooperative culture. Alternatively, non-China countries demonstrate their relative superiority in eco-design tools, knowledge and innovation. Findings also indicate stakeholders simultaneously act as the three roles of eco-design practice in all countries, so do environmental regulations in China. Originality/value A thematic framework is introduced that can be used to further investigate and identify research opportunities. This study aids practitioners take stock of current eco-design management issues. It also includes pertinent recommendations on international eco-design performance improvement. It especially provides significant insights into successful eco-design implementation to green supply chains in China.

“…Manufacturing processes should be developed in such a way that they encourage energy reduction; resource utilization; and the reduction of air emissions, liquid, solid, and gaseous wastes (Jorgensen et al, 2007). The sustainable manufacturing process includes production techniques optimization and alternatives, waste reduction, use of low/clean energy, and few/clean production processes (Singhal, 2013). Sustainable distribution ensures that there is efficient product transportation from the manufacturers to the final user.…”

“…From the viewpoint of the environment, the use phase leads to the most adverse effects in products using energy as well as consumables (Singhal, 2013). Sustainable product use consists of reduction of the environmental impact, few/clean consumables, consumption of low/clean energy, no energy/auxiliary material use, use of the least harmful source of energy, and renewable energy sources (Van Hemel, 1995).…”

Sustainable Operations Management refers to strategies, actions, and techniques that support operational policies in achieving environmental and economic objectives. This paper focuses on examining the effect of Sustainable Operations Management Practices on the competitive advantage of manufacturing firms in Kenya. Despite the importance of green innovation to green issues and success in the business, a review of studies revealed limited information in connection to the strategic role played by sustainable operations technologies. This paper adopted a positivist philosophy to the development of knowledge and used a cross-sectional survey research design. The population sample consisted of 903 manufacturing firms registered with the Kenya Association of Manufacturers. A sample size of 277 was calculated using Slovin’s formula, and a sample of 300 was used to cater for non-response. Primary data was collected. Validity and reliability were also tested and finally, data was analyzed using covariance-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed that Sustainable Operations Management Practices have a significant influence on a firm’s competitive advantage. The main conclusion was that Sustainable Operations Management Practices lead to minimized operating costs, enhanced satisfaction of employees, and environmental improvement leading to competitive advantage. The paper recommends the implementation of Sustainable Operations Management Practices by manufacturing firms since it comes with some advantages. The findings of the paper are relevant to the advancement of environmental policy and practices. It also adds knowledge by providing theoretical underpinning, conceptual and methodological references.

“…The increasing environmental degradation and industrial pollutions affecting the quality of life of people is a great concern (Sheu et al, 2005;Singhal, 2013). This justi es why consumers' preference for environment-friendly products is also increasing in recent decades (Anbumozhi and Kanada, 2005).…”

Green supply chain management (GSCM) is an important part of most production organisations in developed countries. Meanwhile, developing countries are yet to fully embrace the concept. This study, therefore, investigated the drivers of GSCM using a close-up approach in a leading manufacturing organisation in Nigeria with sustainability initiatives. One hundred and fty-four questionnaires retrieved from the supply chain management team of the organisation were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics such as mean score, standard deviation, and factor analysis. Based on the results of the analyses, that the drivers of GSCM in the organisation could be grouped as government-related, organisational-related, and societal-related drivers. The study concluded that synergy of the government, organisations, non-government organisations, and individual is important for achieving green supply chain practices in developing countries. It was recommended that training at all levels is essential to improve the awareness and importance of sustainable production to the environment.
