“…However, most studies have focused on microeconomic industrial processes [32,33], which omit the whole industrial structure optimization at the environment carrying capacity level and do not take the primary sector system into account. Moreover, many studies have obtained results from only one scenario [34].…”

An inexact fuzzy multi-objective programming model (IFMOP) based on the environmental carrying capacity is provided for industrial structure optimization problems. In the IFMOP model, both fuzzy linear programming (FLP) and inexact linear programming (ILP) methods are introduced into a multi-objective programming framework. It allows uncertainties to be directly communicated into the problem solving processing, and it can effectively reflect the complexity and uncertainty of an industrial system without impractical simplification. The two objective functions utilized in the optimization study are the maximum total output value and population size, and the constraints include water environmental capacity, water resource supply, atmospheric environmental capacity and energy supply. The model is subsequently employed in a realistic case for industrial development in the Tongzhou district, Beijing, China. The results demonstrate that the model can help to analyze whether the environmental carrying capacity of Tongzhou can meet the needs of the social economic objectives in the new town plan in the two scenarios and can assist decision makers in generating stable and balanced industrial structure patterns with consideration of the resources, energy and environmental constraints to meet the maximum social economic efficiency.

“…whether surface or groundwater is used, whether water sources are shared etc. ), are key to determining the exact type of water data that organizations should collect to account for their water use and water-related impacts (Dvarioniene and Stasiskiene, 2007;Signori and Bodino, 2013). In order to simplify matters, managers are often encouraged to think of water in terms of inflows, outflows and stocks, and this approach is prevalent throughout the literature (Chalmers et al, 2012a;Morrison et al, 2010;Dvarioniene and Stasiskiene, 2007).…”

With growing recognition that management and measurement of water risks and opportunities are of ongoing concern to business, corporate water accounting has emerged as an innovation for corporate strategy and action. However, there is little prior research available for those looking for guidance in water accounting. The paper addresses this situation through a literature review, which identifies and discusses five key elements from the dispersed water accounting literature: level of analysis, type of data, timeframe, categorization and evaluation of water risks, and transdisciplinarity. Through these elements a framework for effective corporate water accounting is revealed, important internal and external relationships highlighted and guidance about the elements of this innovation provided for academics, practitioners and policy‐makers such that water threat can be converted to water opportunity.

“…The biggest amount of HW generated per employee is in Klaipėda province (see table 1). The reason is peculiar to the region: Klaipėda is a state port where large quantities of HW are generated by inland navigation, ships, and docks and a comparatively small number of employees (Dvarioniene and Stasiskiene 2007). Due to high GDP impact, implementation of pollution prevention measures, and creation of new workplaces, this HW amount is declining.…”

Human activities generate waste, whose amounts tend to increase as the demand for quality of life becomes greater and greater. Hazardous waste (HW) generally makes up only about 1% of all waste in Europe; nevertheless, it presents a serious risk to the ecosystem and human health unless managed and treated safely. Several countries of the European Union (EU) report treatment rates of HW in excess of 40%; the others export a large portion of it. Notwithstanding that lots of efforts have been made to properly identify, treat, recycle, store, transport, and dispose of HW, this is still a hot topic faced by the governments of many EU countries.The objective of this article is to present a sustainable indicators system to assist in the implementation of a modern and sustainable hazardous waste management (HWM) system in Lithuania. The specific goals are (1) to promote the development of a comprehensive monitoring and enforcement system for timely implementation of HWM rules and other related pieces of legislation and (2) to assist in the implementation of training and awareness of the programs of HWM in support of the development of background data for policy making, including improvement of a hazardous waste identification scheme. The emphasis is put on preventing future discharges of HW by promoting the actions that will result in avoidance, recycling, or recovery of the otherwise hazardous waste.
