It is concluded that selection of optimal machining time and abrasive is necessary for achieving better environmental performance of abrasive machining process.
An agreement between a government authority and one or more private parties, as well as a unilateral commitment that is recognized by the public authority, to achieve environmental objectives or to improve environmental performance beyond compliance.
In the view of the literature review, it can be stated that WMA is a very interesting technology, able to contribute to achieve environmental objectives along with acceptable performance.
Two types of environment-friendly SFS (sand fog seals) with cooling and air purification effects are developed to achieve environmental effects under the condition of good road performance.
Through smart manufacturing, companies can also achieve environmental sustainability.
This paper contributes to the existing literature by developing a new research framework for evaluating sustainable design performances as well as by proposing an innovative application of the two-stage network DEA for finding the most eco-efficient way to achieve better environmental performances through product design.
This way, it is shown that SCWR of glycerol allows reducing greenhouse gas emissions and obtaining a favorable positive life cycle energy balance, achieving a good environmental performance of H2 and power production by SCWR of glycerol.
It is indicated that the outlets of Changshou Drainage, Hengliangzi Drainage, and Fuling Chemical Industrial need to increase their discharge load and ratio of the discharge load among the total while the allocation ratios for others need to reduced, for achieving the best environmental performance in terms of reservoir water quality improvement.
In order to achieve a better environmental performance through optimal waste-load allocation among different outlets, the natural assimilative capacities of the receiving water body near each outlet should be taken into consideration.
For this problem, our goal aims to achieve a best water quality improvement result, and thus, the objective function of the linear model is to maximize the overall environmental performance achieved by optimally allocating the wastewater discharge among all the outlets.
