“…They deal with toxicity in the textile industry (Moore and Ausley 2004), sustainability in the coffee industry (Adams and Ghaly 2007), cleaner production in the Brazilian metal industry (Severo et al 2014), or present a generic model to assess economic, environmental, and energy interactions (Oliveira and Henggeler-Antunes 2004). The scarcity of production-related papers is not surprising, as an inter-organizational focus is central to our study.…”

Stakeholder influences on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) are of increasing interest for researchers to take into account economic, environmental, and social risks. While extant literature on stakeholder influences or risks in SSCM concentrates on selected issues, a comprehensive review of both stakeholder and risk constructs is missing. Hence, this paper examines stakeholder influences and risks in SSCM, as addressed by conceptual frameworks, empirical studies, and formal models to shed light on the trends and gaps in qualitative and quantitative SSCM research. Based on a content analysis of systematically selected journal publications, the commonalities and differences between the research designs are identified. The findings suggest that the integration of economic risks prevails over the consideration of environmental and social risks. Qualitative studies frequently focus on customers or multiple stakeholders that trigger SSCM and relate to supply, demand, and particularly reputational risks. In contrast, quantitative models rather concentrate on formalizing governmental triggers and operational risks. Thus, mutual stimuli between conceptual, empirical, and model-based SSCM research and their implications for future research directions are derived.

“…Tekstilni izdelki so med najbolj razširjenimi potroš-nimi dobrinami in so najhitreje rastoči odpadki v EU [1], kar slabo vpliva na okolje, saj celoten cikel nekega tekstilnega izdelka, od njegove proizvodnje do odstranjevanja, prispeva svoj delež k degradaciji okolja [2]. V Sloveniji še nimamo sistemsko urejene možno-sti za oddajo tekstilnih odpadkov poleg že uveljavljenega ločenega zbiranja plastične embalaže, stekla, papirja in organskih odpadkov.…”

IzvlečekOhranjanje naravnih virov, zmanjšanje škodljivih vplivov nastajanja odpadkov, porabe odlagališčnega prostora in s tem povezanega plačevanja okoljskih taks, preskrba z nizkocenovnimi materiali ter ustvarjanje novih »zelenih« delovnih mest so lahko rezultat organiziranega, smotrnega zbiranja, ki omogoča ponovno uporabo in recikliranje. Ločeno zbiranje odpadkov pomeni strokovno in premišljeno zbiranje, s katerim preprečujemo odlaganje materialov zaradi uhajanja potencialno nevarnih snovi v okolje, kot so odlagališč-ni plini, odcedne vode, prah in smrad. EU je izdala direktivo, v kateri narekuje ločeno zbiranje tekstilnih odpadkov v temu namenjenih zabojnikih, ki se nahajajo v zbirnih centrih. Zbirni centri so objekti za prevzemanje odpadkov, vključno z njihovim predhodnim razvrščanjem in predhodnim skladiščenjem za namene prevoza do naprave za obdelavo odpadkov. V članku so predstavljeni količina, vrsta in nadaljnje ravnanje z odpadnimi oblačili in tekstilijami, zbranimi v zbirnih centrih po Sloveniji v letu 2012. Podatki so bili zbrani z uporabo deskriptivne metode (spletnega vprašalnika v kombinaciji z osebnim intervjujem) ter obdelani z uporabo deskriptivne statistike. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 54 od 59 (n = 54) upravljavcev zbirnih centrov, urejenih na območju Slovenije. Večina (78 %) zbirnih centrov zbira oblačila in tekstilije, le 15 odstotkov jih zbira izključno oblačila, medtem ko jih je 2 % prenehalo z ločenim zbiranjem. Povprečni zbirni center, ki zbira oblačila in tekstilije, je v letu 2012 zbral približno 15 ton odpadnih oblačil in tekstilij, medtem ko je povprečni zbirni center, ki zbira le oblačila, zbral približno štiri tone oblačil. Sodelujoči ocenjujejo, da je kakovost zbranih oblačil višja v primerjavi z zbranimi tekstilijami. Med oblačili so zbrali največ majic in srajc ter vrhnjih oblačil, med tekstilijami vzmetnice in posteljnino. Večina upravljavcev zbirnih centrov meni, da ima zbrani tek stil ekonomsko vrednost ter da že obstaja zanimanje za prevzem tekstila. V članku so predstavljeni količi-na, vrsta in nadaljnje ravnanje z odpadnimi oblačili in tekstilijami, zbranimi v zbirnih centrih po Sloveniji.

“…Two basic principles of systems thinking, entirety and completeness, are drawn from the literature in order to think of system structures from both the holistic and reductive view-points (Rubenstein-Montano et al, 2001;Moore and Ausley, 2004;Skyttner, 2006;McLaughlin, 2009). The conceptual framework provided by systems thinking has been particularly useful in the understanding and modeling of dynamic processes (Ozel and Kohler, 2004).…”

ABSTRACT:Previous works on database integration focused mainly on the creation of transformation interfaces between incompatible databases built up by different departments of the Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration, ignoring the demands of systematically and flexibly integrated information for advanced pollution control of point sources. To provide a systematic framework for flexible integration of distributed data, this paper presents a general model as the systematic object event data model based on systems thinking, to improve the integration capability of databases. The conceptual database framework for integrated pollution control was proposed as a result of the application of the systematic object event data model. The fundamental part of the systematic object event data model, creation of the object registry database, was put into practice from the year 2008. The object database of pollution source is available to factories in 2009, which helps factories to create and Taiwan environmental protection administration to maintain the consistent object data through the electronic application processes of permits. To construct various event databases that systematically connect to object database would be the following step to more efficiently provide systematic information from systematic data integration.
