However, the impact of long-term rice expansion on regional carbon budget dynamics remains unclear. A major obstacle in addressing this gap is the absence of agricultural LULC information with high spatiotemporal resolution. Here, we selected the Sanjiang Plain experienced dramatic rice expansion as the study area, presenting a framework that integrates high-resolution crop distribution data with a process-based model to quantify the impact of rice expansion on regional carbon budgets. Specifically, we employed a robust deep-learning network for crop mapping based on Landsat data, to reconstruct the spatiotemporal dynamics of rice expansion from 1985 to 2020. We then incorporated these long-term crop maps into the Denitrification-Decomposition (DNDC) model, to explore the effects of rice expansion on the regional carbon budget over this period. Analysis results showed that the rice planting area expanded by 708.64 km²/yr, resulting in more than a tenfold increase over the past 36 years. Spatially, rice planting expanded from the southwest to the northeast and from the interior to the exterior. This expansion has resulted in approximately 275 Mt. of CO₂ and 6.92 Mt. of CH₄ greenhouse gas emissions, altering the dynamics of the regional carbon budget and shifting the ecosystem from a carbon sink to a carbon source since 2016. Although the long-term expansion of rice increased soil respiration and CH₄ emissions, it also enhanced soil carbon sequestration through agricultural management practices. These findings greatly enhance our understanding of the ecosystem carbon cycle's response to long-term agricultural LULC changes, providing more accurate data support and scientific evidence for developing low-carbon agricultural policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 613-623"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142756880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model follows the life cycle assessment methodology and is based on lignin-based polyols production at a pilot scale, beginning with kraft lignin extraction, followed by solvent fractionation. The results indicate that, compared to their petrochemical counterparts, lignin-based polyols demonstrate superior environmental performance under specific conditions, such as the use of bio-based solvents and an appropriate energy mix. Tetrahydrofuran and electricity consumption emerge as the primary hotspots contributing to environmental impact categories such as climate change, fossil resource use, and water use—identified as the main contributors to the overall environmental impact of lignin-based polyol production. An uncertainty analysis was conducted using Monte Carlo simulation. Based on the findings, producers can consider lignin-based polyols as a promising raw material if they replace tetrahydrofuran with its bio-based counterpart and adopt a renewable energy mix for production. This model can be easily extended by researchers and/or practitioners to further evaluate the environmental impacts of bio-products derived from lignin-based polyols.

The evolution of food systems seems to follow a cyclical pattern with occasional regime shifts, which can be driven by the system swapping attractors. In this study, alternative regimes and regime shift dynamics were illustrated for the Finnish food system facing pressures for sustainability transition. Two questions were asked. First, what could be the attractors capable for facilitating a regime shift and from where could they emerge? Second, how the regime shift could happen and what would be the role of animal production in the alternative regimes? Discourse analysis and systems science methodology were used in a participatory foresight process. Five prominent new basins of attraction were identified: ethics, environment, health, national food security and global market. All these manifested a specific conceptualisation of sustainability and resulted in radically different roles for animal production in the food system. Each of the new regimes was accompanied by some new landscape level pressures for change, emphasising the importance of holistic system analysis to avoid unintended or unexpected outcomes of sustainability transitions. Insights for the difficulty of planned regime shifts, use of Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) as an empirical mapping tool, and the utilisation of societal discourses as a source for new attractors were novel elements in the approach of this study.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 469-486"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142705086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With limited methods to navigate this multi-dimensional variability at scale, additive manufacturing stakeholders face challenges when making growth and investment decisions. To bridge this gap, this study applies system modeling methodologies to a case study of an additive manufacturing service unit in the sporting goods industry aiming to improve its product portfolio's economic and environmental impacts and scale its capabilities. A tradespace model compares the value of additive manufacturing to injection molding across product characteristics and lifecycle decisions, and a flexible design analysis evaluates additive manufacturing scaling strategies, considering market and technology uncertainties. The tradespace analysis reveals that additive manufacturing reduces product environmental footprint by 95 % and unit cost by 93 % for 1-to-20-part production volumes compared to injection molding, while injection molding lowers environmental footprint by 72 % and unit cost by 56 % for 100-to-50,000-part production volumes compared to additive manufacturing. This analysis also suggests that additive manufacturing's economic and environmental value increases when located in geographies with low-carbon footprint energy and when manufacturing very low production quantities or small parts that maximize build capacity. The flexible design analysis indicates that expanding internal production capacity to a larger facility with renewable power, once higher demand is confirmed, can reduce part environmental footprint by up to 49 % and increase Net Present Value by more than 600 % compared to maintaining current operations that leverage external service bureaus. The results demonstrate the potential of these system modeling methodologies in integrating financial and environmental impact assessments at the company level for strategic scaling decisions.

The gap between the intentions and behaviors hinders pro-environmental consumption behavior, which has been a highly important subject in the field. Considering that pro-environmental consumption is an altruistic behavior that adjusts and resolves the disparity between personal interests and social values, the role of moral licensing effect should get more attention in translating intention into behavior. However, existing studies failed to thoroughly examine the role of moral licensing effect. To address the gap in the literature, this study specifically attempted to investigate how the moral license effect influences when individual good intentions are linked to behavior. For this purpose, this study developed a novel behavioral model based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), while also examining the significance of the pathway through which pro-environmental behavioral intention influences actual behavior. This study conducted an online self-reported survey online and analyzed the data from 1000 participants. As a result, the level of moral licensing significantly moderated the association between pro-environmental behavioral intention and actual behavior. Participants with higher levels of moral licensing, indicating a greater tendency to rationalize unethical actions, showed a weaker translation of intention into action. It recommends developing differentiated communication strategies based on consumers' moral licensing levels, focusing on facilitating intention-to-action translation for high moral licensing individuals and reinforcing antecedents like perceived benefits for those with low moral licensing tendencies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 527-540"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142705042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the basis of nationwide survey data from 1957 restaurants across China, we critically assessed food waste and its impacts on resources, the environment and ecology in China's catering industry. Moreover, we conducted scenario analysis to evaluate the effects of waste reduction with reference to the survey and the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. We also used an econometric model to analyze macrofactors affecting food waste in China's catering industry.

The waste sector is a major anthropogenic source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Most global GHG assessments of waste management rely on generic data due to limitations in available data. This research used reflective inventory data for municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment systems related to the income levels of countries, resulting in more context-specific and comprehensive assessments of GHG emissions. This study aims to assess life cycle GHG emissions from the global MSW management sector for the years 2023, 2030, and 2050 and then analyses the global and regional waste management goals set by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the European Union (EU) to identify hotspots in the MSW management systems and critical factors that influence GHG emissions from the waste sector. The study was conducted in accordance with the standards outlined in ISO 14067:2018. The results show that the average global GHG emissions from 1 tonne of MSW in 2023 based on the existing MSW management practices was approximately 89.7 kg CO_2e. The major contributor was the open dumping of MSW, contributing almost 70 % of GHG emissions. The global MSW management sector emitted a total of 173.2 Mt CO_2e GHG emissions in 2023. If no improvements are made to existing systems, GHG emissions from the waste sector are projected to increase to 203.4 Mt CO_2e by 2030, and to 289.5 Mt CO_2e by 2050. Achieving waste management goals can reduce GHG emissions by approximately 1 % to more than 160 %. The implementation of the circular economy in the waste sector has the potential to achieve net zero emissions from the global MSW management sector by 2030 and 2050. This study provides achievable MSW management targets for the world and highlights key factors to achieve carbon neutrality from the waste sector. Prioritising policies such as upgrading open dumps, standardising household-level waste separation procedures, minimising food waste, establishing national recycling targets, and promoting circular economy through a zero-waste approach could substantially reduce GHG emissions from the waste sector.
