Companies are increasingly focusing on sustainable business practices. Internal and external stakeholders’ expectations manifest in legal requirements, national and international standards, and market and customer expectations, among other things, must be considered. In addition to profit maximization, which is the usual target for corporate management, management must consider environmental sustainability aspects such as resource efficiency, greenhouse gas intensity, and a company’s emissions behavior. In addition, social aspects related to the company’s employees, the immediate urban environment, the situation in the supply chain, and effects on the market environment must increasingly be considered. Specifically, companies are faced with the challenge of dealing with conflicting objectives regarding the various aspects of sustainability and, if necessary, weighing them up against each other. These trade-offs must be made against the company’s socio-economic and ecological environment, corporate strategy, and sustainability goals. This paper provides an overview of current approaches and research gaps on this topic through a literature review. It highlights the lack of methods and frameworks to specifically deal with trade-offs and conflicts between goals.

“…Industrial cluster entities that promote the exchange and use of underutilized materials significantly affect production systems' economic and environmental performance (Worrell et al, 2016;Castiglione et al, 2022). For instance, the economic and environmental-related benefits derived from exchanges of water and steam for reuse are illustrated by Brings Jacobsen (2006), who concluded that IS must be understood in terms of individual and collective approaches toward the economic and environmental performance of industrial sustainability.…”

IntroductionWhile promoting sustainable industrial cluster development using the circular economy perspective, the increased use of underutilized materials results in compromised profitability in the cooperative network. The focus is to evaluate the external financial support required in industrial clusters against specific objectives and highlight the potential beneficiaries and losers in financial terms because of industrial symbiosis while closing material loops.MethodThis study provides an agent-based approach to record the system response based on three case studies to demonstrate the potential cost variations: The first case is about utilizing only naturally available resources by all the industrial entities and is taken as a base case. The second case is about targeting the lowest cost for each product, and the third one provides a sustainable and flexible solution by targeting the best transformation methods and materials.ConclusionThe study concludes with valuable insights to identify the economically compromised entities in an industrial cluster network by considering economic deviations beyond a critical value. It can help take concrete measures in the form of incentives or investors subsidies by governmental organizations, regulators, and policymakers to intervene and stimulate markets through targeted financial support/policies to the compromised entities. This results in improved materials loop closing, essentially promoting sustainable production systems in industrial clusters. Additionally, such financial support/incentives also influence the scarcity or accumulation of by-products or low-value materials, ultimately improving the industrial network's environmental and economic performance.

“…Specifically, the problem is that shopping bags have managed to become an important issue to debate with sustainable consumption, and this is because shopping bags are usually manufactured from essential resources wasted and consumed everyday by individuals' lifestyles. In addition, there have been some improvements in the sustainability and environmental performance in the producing process of shopping bags and improving its quality (Castiglione, Pastore, & Alfieri, 2022;Ritch et al, 2009).…”

the paper aims to study the relationship between environmental concerns and subjective norms on consumers' perception towards green product and the factors that influences people's intention towards using them, especially sustainable shopping bag using survey data from 453 respondents. The study uses Chi-square test via Kruskal-Walis test to determine if the hypotheses were accepted or rejected. The existence of the relationship between variables was proven via the measuring of Spearman Correlation. The research indicated that there is a positive relationship between environmental concerns and consumers' perception of green products. Finally, the results show there is a confident relationship between the consumer's perception towards green products and purchase intention of green products. Based on the research findings, policy implications and suggestions to further promote shopping bags are discussed.
