A comprehensive eco-efficiency model and dynamics of regional eco-efficiency in China
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2014Abstract In order to have a comprehensive eco-efficiency measure which can incorporate productivity, resource efficiency, environmental efficiency, and inter-temporal comparability and circularity, the paper proposes an extended data envelopment analysis model, named GB-US-SBM model, which combines global benchmark technology, undesirable output ...

Abstract Reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) like CO2 is one of the predominant concerns for ensuring sustainable future living conditions on Earth. However, current trends in globalization of production processes, just-in-time manufacturing, and increased numbers of parcel shipments due to a growing trend towards online ...

1997 International Symposium on Technology and Society Technology and Society at a Time of Sweeping Change. Proceedings, 2002
The linear, open system of industrial development-'produce/use/throw away'-is unsustainable even if it is restricted to the existing industrialised countries. If an attempt is made to spread it globally, it would not only be environmentally disastrous, it would also have severe economic and social consequences.

Publication of the Eco-efficiency Handbook in 2004 Eco-efficiency Project in Japan
2005 4th International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing, 2006In Japan, some leading industries and companies have started to apply the eco-efficiency concept in their management, decision-making and/or communication tools with stakeholders. Although still experimental, the eco-efficiency increasingly gains recognition as effective concept at the sectoral /corporate level and at a product level. In this paper, we

Ecological Economics, 2005
The use of fossil energy is one of the major environmental problems associated with tourism and travel. Consequently, the need to limit fossil energy use has been highlighted as a precondition for achieving sustainable tourism development. However, tourism is also one of the most important sectors of the world economy, and fears have thus been ...

The Bioregion and Eco-efficiency
2016This paper introduces the bioregion concept and describes territorial metabolic flows tools useful to identify and evaluate strategies and appropriate actions to increase the eco-efficiency of local systems. Global agro-food system contributes about 30% of Global Heating Gasses (GHG) emission (Lang et al.

Just-in-Time Production and Eco-efficiency
2022Eco-efficiency is a sound and meaningful concept to every business considering a step into the future. On the one side, it shows the pathway for providing what all companies strive for, i.e., effective and progressively delivering more value. On the other side, it considers doing so in a constrained world, where climate change, use of nature, and ...
