“…The business benefits of integrating life cycle considerations and transitioning from a single product to a product service system perspective have also been discussed [6][7][8]. As for the operational part there is an increasing number of publications linking LCA to product development and management processes and coupling environmental assessments with intelligence systems for effective product life cycle management and decision support towards sustainability [9][10][11][12][13]. However, to invest and effectively uptake tools and services that support LCA integration to daily operations, the business case needs to be proved to the decision makers.…”

“…Different researchers have studied the works in the past relating the supplier evaluation and selection problem [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24]. At the present time, sustainable development has turn out to be a buzzword that acknowledged a lot of attentions in numerous fields like manufacturing [25], business development [26], tourism [27] and agriculture [28]. Also, in SCM both academics and general practitioner contemplate the sustainable concerns in their workings.…”

Abstract. Diverse sustainable supplier selection (SSS) methodologies have been suggested by the practitioners in earlier, to find a solution to the SSS problem. A SSS problem fundamentally is a multi-criteria practice. It is a judgment of tactical significance to enterprises. The nature of this decision usually is difficult and unstructured. Optimization practices might be useful tools for these types of decision-making difficulties. During last few years, Differential Evolution has arisen as a dominating tool used for solving a variety of problems arising in numerous fields. In the current study, we present an approach to find a solution to the SSS problem using Differential Evolution in pulp and paper industry. Hence this paper presents a novel approach is to practice Differential Evolution to select the efficient sustainable suppliers providing the maximum fulfillment for the sustainable criteria determined. Finally, an illustrative example on pulp and paper industry validates the application of the present approach.

Population growth, connected with rising incomes, urbanization, fidelity to dogmas and climate change, places pressure on the food industry. This significantly increases the inextricably-linked demand of production systems for water and energy. Technological solutions-such as increasing accessibility and further reducing costs-can be employed to overcome the limitations created by the local availability of resources. This paper develops a new methodology generating sustainable value, and thus achieving a competitive advantage in business ecosystems. The methodology addresses both the key requirements of sustainable development and the preferences of stakeholders. A set of design conditions are proposed to develop eco-efficient, socio-eco-effective, and adaptable production systems under changing limitations. An international project is launched to demonstrate the superiority of the design methodology and to create awareness about interdependencies among the prevalent design conditions and regional limitations. The task aims at developing technological solutions, which can be retrofitted in existing production systems to increase the sustainable local added value and capacity for regions affected by climate change. The impact of climate change is more obvious in semi-closed ecosystems. Cyprus is one of the Mediterranean islands with such a semi-closed ecosystem. Combined with water scarcity and rising prices in electricity, this made Cyprus an ideal testing ground for the methodology. The selected solution includes the use of hybrid energy and water generation to process agricultural products and to recycle organic waste. This solution achieves a nearly zero emission, zero water footprint and increases the local added value by product-service systems. To support decision-makers, various technologies and their feasibility are considered, evaluated and recommendations are made for implementing the modular solutions.
