“…Finally, there was a lack of market instruments, and economic markets themselves inhibited the ability to address environmental issues [31,36,40,57,[59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]. Fieldman [76] compared liberal market economies in the UK and USA with coordinated market economies in Germany and Japan in terms of their influence over pollution.…”

“…All cited the lack of development or the availability of appropriate technology as a barrier to sustainability [30,34,38,54,62,69,75,90,107]. Chen et al [75], for example, found that there was a need for improved technology in the USA to increase the use of recycled materials in the manufacturing sector. Similarly, Bailey [62] found that less efficient technology led to the lack of recycling of some materials.…”

“…The majority of these studies cited insufficient incentives to adopt environmentally sustainable practices as a trap and argued for greater economic incentives [30,32,38,42,45,55,63,66,67,69,74,75,83,84,95,102,117]. Some found that there were insufficient incentives to implement a policy or comply with regulations as a result of either a lack of official accountability or a lack of public demand for action [34,36,48,54,60,82,87,108,109].…”

“…The third was community opposition to environmentally sustainable policies/actions [82,92,93]. Finally, a lack of community awareness/knowledge of sustainability issues was also identified as a result of communication failure [33][34][35]44,51,53,[58][59][60]62,63,74,75,77,87,90,111,113,115].…”

Environmental Sustainability: A Case of Policy Implementation Failure?

For a generation, governments around the world have been committed to sustainable development as a policy goal. This has been supported by an array of new policies ranging from international agreements, to national strategies, environmental laws at many levels of government, regional programs, and local plans. Despite these efforts, decades of scientific monitoring indicate that the world is no closer to environmental sustainability and in many respects the situation is getting worse. This paper argues that a significant contributing factor to this situation is policy implementation failure. A systematic review of the literature reveals that the failure to achieve the intended outcomes of environmental policies is due to economic, political and communication factors. Conflict between the objectives of environmental policies and those focused on economic development, a lack of incentives to implement environmental policies, and a failure to communicate objectives to key stakeholders are all key factors that contribute to the inability to attain environmental sustainability.

“…An agent-based simulation model was presented to modeling both economical and physical relations between firms, recyclers and consumers [73]. The sustainable product design with recycled materials under economic view was also studied [74]. Moreover, material flow analysis (MFA) has been used in recycle modeling [75].…”

Abstract-Recently environmentally conscious product design (ECPD) is highlighted by research community, because of the global conscious about low carbon emission and sustainable development. ECPD cares about the environmental, social and economic impacts of products during their life cycle phases, with the destination to achieve product life cycle design for sustainability. Furthermore, information and communication technologies are important for the implementation of computer-aided eco-design. The theories, methods, software tools about ECPD during 2005 to 2015 were reviewed in this work. Five most related aspects including product eco-design, design for disassembly (DFD), design for recycling (DFR), material selection (MS), and eco-design software tools were analyzed as related categories. Eco-impact assessment was found to be a pre-step in ECPD followed by product eco-innovation. DFD, DFR, and MS helped to improve the energy efficiency and eco-friendliness of products. Eco-design software tools are focusing on CAD-integration, web-based and knowledge base-based characteristics. More eco-design software tools will be developed in specific industries and to handling products with composite materials.Keywords-product eco-design; design for sustainability (D4S); eco-design software tools; state-of-the-art; eco-friendly produts
