“…Environmental protection is a pressing concern for the entire globe. There is a rich body of literature on low-carbon emission (Bord et al, 2000;Renukappa et al, 2013;Jones, 2014;Li and Lin, 2016;Du et al, 2016), green manufacturing (Montalvo, 2008;Deif, 2011;Bhattacharya et al, 2015), sustainability strategies (Law and Gunasekaran, 2012;Mangla et al, 2013;Harik et al, 2015), responsible manufacturing (Bazan et al, 2017), environment management (Massoud et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2009), responsible purchasing (Mont and Leire, 2009;Winter and Lasch, 2016), environment-friendly technology (Luken et al, 2008;Gutowski et al, 2005), product recovery (Kapetanopoulou and Tagaras, 2011), etc. Ultimately, the aim of all these studies is related to the central theme of protecting the environment and building environmental consciousness (ECO).…”
