“…The energy used in material acquisition, production, delivery, recycling, and end‐user usage can be interpreted as the CFP value. In prior studies, the print production process at Chulalongkorn University Printing house (hereafter, “CU Printing house”) was explored, resulting in the data compilation across three pollutants category: CFP, VOCs, and waste 13‐17 . The concepts of these processes were elaborated upon in this study.…”

“…The method employed for calculating the CFP of each book was based on the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard, ISO 16759, along with TGO recommendations. Calculations were completed by multiplying the data obtained for each component in the life cycle of a book by the relevant coefficients of the carbon dioxide emission equivalent (CO 2 ‐eq) 14,15 …”

An environmental performance index (EPI) is introduced to evaluate the activities of a printing house based on three impacts: carbon footprint, volatile organic compound emissions, and waste. As the main causes of environmental degradation are the operation of machinery and usage of materials, we aimed to integrate the three impacts to interpret the EPI or the environmental friendliness of printing houses. Our results demonstrate that environmental awareness increased with improvements to the EPI, following the modification of printing processes and choices of printing materials. Various scenarios, including pre-press, press, and post-press, as well as printing materials, are proposed to predict trends and the possibility of increasing the EPI. Press management and materials and equipment changes have the greatest influence on the improvement of the EPI.

“…Previous studies have shown that Carbon Footprint (CFP) plays a key role in the implementation of sustainable development strategies in printing [4,5] as well as in corrugated packaging industries. Prediction of environmental impact caused by corrugated packaging could be achieved through performing a process named Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and LCA has been expressed by a simpler form such as Lifecycle CO2 emission [6] .…”

“…For the CFP, calculation of CO2 emissions from the production, consumption, transportation and disposal or recycling, has been performed followed Thai Green House Gas Management Organization (TGO) [5] . Emission of CO2 affecting environment in the production of corrugated paper was previously identified from the used amounts of input paper and glue powder, electricity consumption for machine operating and lighting [4] . This paper did not focus on altering the amounts of input paper and glue powder but improving environmental pollution via improving OEE.…”

Environmental friendly production is an emerging trend in industrial production. Enhancing environmental protection and ensuring company?s profitability have gained great attention from manufacturers. The application of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) using Total Quality Management (TQM) to reflect efficiency of production has been widely implemented in the manufacturing process. However, the full advantage of OEE using TQM techniques as a measure to simultaneously facilitate reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and to sustain the existing profitability has not been utilized. This study aimed to investigate the application of OEE using TQM techniques to improve the manufacturing process of corrugated board production using two indicators including CO2 emission and profitability. The research showed a model of measuring OEE, CO2 emission and Profitability. The proposed model was a useful tool in predicting Carbon Footprint (CFP) and Profitability when improving OEE. The experiment was done in Vietnam. The tendency of OEE, CFP and Profitability was similar in both experiments. It suggested that the corrugating machines should have the same conditions. In Vietnam, nowadays there are over 90% of second hand corrugating machines used in corrugated box industry. The study clearly demonstrated the relationship between OEE and CFP and Profitability of corrugated paper producers in that when improving OEE, CFP would decrease and Profitability would increase. The TQM techniques used in this study were one of the suggestions for improving OEE.
