Furthermore, this research also tests the moderating role of B2B firms' customer engagement between adaptive capability and sustainable supply chain performance. The proposed conceptual model was analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS)-Structured Equation Modeling (SEM) by applying survey data collected from 276 samples of 138 B2B firms. Our results indicate that B2B firms' supply chain resilience orientation positively and significantly influences sustainable supply chain performance via B2B firms' adaptive capability. Based on our analysis, the positive effect of B2B firms' adaptive capability on sustainable supply chain performance is evident only in high customer engagement. Drawing from the literature and theoretical paradigm, the first contribution of this study is the formation of a conceptual model of sustainable supply chain performance in the context of B2B firms. The second key contribution is examining how B2B firms' adaptive capability is influenced by both B2B firms' supply chain resilience orientation and sustainable supply chain performance. The outcome of this study also adds further theoretical insight by analyzing the moderating effect of B2B firms' customer engagement on the relationship between adaptive capability and sustainable supply chain performance. The findings from this research play a significant role in understanding the importance of next-generation supply chains that require B2B firms to invest considerable resources in achieving sustainable supply chain performance to remain competitive in their respective industry. Therefore, B2B firms need to embrace supply chain resilience orientation to achieve sustainable supply chain performance in response to the pandemic resulting from COVID-19.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101200,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Manufacturing and Service Economics","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100011"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49733257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The only way to satisfy society's freshwater demands is to transform abundant seawater into potable water by desalination. Numerous research efforts have been effective in establishing large desalination plants. However, significantly fewer attempts are made for dry regions where low-cost, maintenance-free, and low-operational-cost approaches are required. Both rapidly developing and underdeveloped nations struggle to provide their populations with pure drinking water. In the desalination sector, CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and significant ecological problems have increased. The desalination sector may be sustainable by integrating renewable energy and using proper brine disposal techniques. In this review, various desalination systems that incorporate renewable energy sources, with an emphasis on solar energy, are examined. The main objective of this paper is to explain what solar desalination is, why it is performed, and what techniques can be used to make desalination more structured and cost-effective. In addition, this study provides a comprehensive review of all the solar desalination systems, indirect and direct, along with plant-specific technical data. In addition, the efforts that have been made to evaluate the economic viability of each desalination technology and the elements that determine its cost are discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101200,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Manufacturing and Service Economics","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100007"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266734442200007X/pdfft?md5=0c4bfbcd17efa93710ede210153d2766&pid=1-s2.0-S266734442200007X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75295269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies in this regard show that in almost all cases, transition from a traditional approach to sustainable manufacturing is not at all a smooth experience as it is fraught with pitfalls on several counts at the implementation stage. Therefore, analyzing probable barriers and implementing right set of strategies duly addressing them becomes utmost crucial to successfully implementing the sustainable manufacturing practices. The study particularly aims at identifying and prioritizing such strategies to overcome the very barriers in the implementation phase. The study identified some twenty one odd barriers through an extensive literature review and expert opinions and classified them into four categories. In the same way, nine specific strategies were identified to address the barriers through a comprehensive literature review. An Integrated Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process-Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FAHP-FTOPSIS) approach has been used to further prioritize the barriers and strategies for sustainable manufacturing implementation in Indian manufacturing SMEs. The result depicts that, “Ineffective enforcement of the law (B22)”, “Complexity in implementing 6Rs (B17)”, “Ineffective controlling and monitoring system (B24)”, “Need for a standardized approach to carbon auditing (B15)” and “Heavy dependence on fossil fuels (B14)” are the top five barriers that hamper smooth implementation of sustainable manufacturing whereas, out of the nine proposed strategies “Implementation of lean and green manufacturing techniques (S2)” and “Establishment of benchmark and performance measuring systems (S6)” were found to be the two most important strategies that should be employed to eliminate the identified barriers. The findings provide strategic insights into guiding decision-makers and practitioners of Indian manufacturing SMEs in regards to sustainable manufacturing implementation. Besides, this study also assists managers by way of providing them with a hierarchical list of strategies ranked in order of their effectiveness to potentially eliminate the implementation barriers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101200,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Manufacturing and Service Economics","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100012"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49723705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the existing decision-making frameworks for selecting suppliers in the construction industry have given priority to criteria such as cost, delivery, and quality. However, due to the current emphasis on achieving sustainability and reducing environmental impact, organizations are increasingly embracing circular economy (CE) principles. In this study, thereby, we proposed an integrated multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework, which is comprised of a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) and a preference ranking organization method for enrichment of evaluations II (PROMETHEE II) for circular supplier selection in the construction industry from the perspective of countries with emerging economies. In the proposed framework, FAHP was used to first identify the weight of each criterion and sub-criteria, and PROMETHEE II was used to rank the suppliers from best to worst. Results showed that on-time delivery, conformance to specifications, and rejection rate are the top three criteria for supplier selection. Additionally, the top three circular supplier selection criteria included pollution control initiatives, green packaging, and responses toward environmental regulations and standards. The result of this approach has been compared with another MCDM method, namely the weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) method, which validated the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach. Through the implementation of circular supplier selection, the proposed research is expected to reinforce the circular supply chain model, which can help managers in the construction sector to improve the sustainability of their overall business.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101200,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Manufacturing and Service Economics","volume":"1 ","pages":"Article 100005"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667344422000056/pdfft?md5=467bda38122fa2ce111a9539b4b2ef30&pid=1-s2.0-S2667344422000056-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72282856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
