In this study, life cycle impact assessment was integrated with life cycle costing analysis to evaluate the environmental and economic impacts of raw silk production from cradle-to-gate. We aimed to identify key processes and materials in the production chain and pinpoint critical factors with substantial environmental and economic implications. The findings indicated that terrestrial ecotoxicity, freshwater ecotoxicity, marine ecotoxicity, human carcinogenic toxicity, and human non-carcinogenic toxicity were the primary environmental impact categories. Mulberry cultivation, accounting for 46 % of the total environmental impact, emerged as the principal environmental burden of raw silk production. Key materials affecting the environment included urea and potassium chloride in mulberry cultivation, electricity in silkworm farming, and steam and electricity in the silk reeling process. Economically, the total cost of raw silk production amounted to EUR 151.94 per kilogram, comprising internal costs of EUR 126.88 and external costs of EUR 25.06. Silk reeling was identified as the primary cost-driving process, accounting for 49.89 % of the total cost. Major cost contributors included steam and labor wages, which accounted for 43.68 % and 24.34 % of the total cost, respectively. Notably, the extensive use of steam in silk reeling, urea in mulberry cultivation, and electricity in silkworm farming substantially contributed to both economic and environmental burdens. To balance environmental sustainability with economic viability, it is recommended to reduce steam usage in silk reeling, minimize urea application in mulberry cultivation, optimize electricity consumption in silkworm farming, and enhance the comprehensive utilization of by-products.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"55 ","pages":"Pages 11-23"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143378097","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}

However, the heterogeneity and social dynamics of stakeholders, particularly farmers, have received less attention. This study develops an Agent-based Environmental and Economic assessment (AEE) model that integrates agent-based model and life cycle thinking methods to simulate the CRB system. The AEE model was applied in Heilongjiang Province of China, to investigate how stakeholder decisions affect CRB's GHG reduction potential and government subsidies. Scenario analyses explore the effects of grain markets, subsidies, and collection distance on environmental and economic outcomes. The findings indicate that more farmers are willing to adopt crop residues collection than those currently practicing it, primarily due to logistical constraints. Key factors influencing adoption include farming income, age, farm size and crop types. CRB contributed to 70.6 % of overall GHG reductions with only 41.6 % of the subsidy, demonstrating higher mitigation efficiency. In conclusion, the government must address the deficiency in crop residues logistics to promote CRB development. Additionally, agricultural policies play a crucial role in ensuring CRB feedstock availability by guiding crop types selection. The results suggest that AEE model is adequate in simulating both micro and macro dynamics in the context of CRB, highlighting the robustness of integrating agent-based model and life cycle thinking methods to study complex issues.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"55 ","pages":"Pages 24-36"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143396168","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}

However, a dilemma arises when different companies in the same industrial symbiosis network desire to claim for themselves the benefits of such symbiosis and of the upcycling of materials. This study investigates how this upcycling dilemma can be solved, and which solution is obtained following different guidelines for Life Cycle Assessment, namely the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the ISO standards, and the Product Environmental Footprint. Firstly, a qualitative assessment of the three guidelines is performed to evaluate their normative and empirical elements and their potential to drive change. Secondly, a quantitative assessment is performed by modelling three real-world cases according to each guideline. In each case a residual material from a “supplier” company is upcycled into a new product by a “user” company. Results show that the choice of guideline has a large impact on the results and the incentive created to enter the industrial symbiosis network. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol and the Product Environmental Footprint have several normative elements. Although simple to apply in theory, they leave space for interpretation and ambiguity and tend favour the user company. The ISO standards have empirical elements leading to case-dependent results and requiring a thorough understanding of the system under study to be effectively applied. All guidelines show an improvement when the assessment is performed at system level instead of focusing on one or the other company in isolation, even though such improvement is small in magnitude. The conclusion is that the idea of “sharing” environmental savings is unsound, as upcycling is only obtained in a joint effort, and the recommendation is to evaluate upcycling systemically.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"54 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143158705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study combines interviews with policy development experts, a stakeholder survey and a thematic analysis of the findings, which confirm that an evident gap exists between the acknowledged importance of unintended effects and the tools used to address them. Second-order effects, defined as indirect and unintended effects prompted by changes in a socio-technical system (e.g., policy implementation and its direct effects) prove to be as equally relevant as first-order effects or direct effects. The categorisation of these effects showed that most of them were related to alterations to legal requirements influencing import-export and value chain dynamics, the exploitation of loopholes in legislation and fraud, as well as price alterations affecting household consumption patterns and business strategies. The experts' suggestions for addressing better the unintended effects of policies in ex-ante impact assessments confirm the importance of reinforcing or expanding the use of scientific tools during policy processes, i.e. stakeholder engagement, combined micro- and macro-economic modelling, extended consideration of the European Union's resilience and the inclusion of a behavioural and social component.

This study systematically evaluates challenges considering associated uncertain future events and examines mitigation strategies for the practical implementation of safe and sustainable by-design practices. To achieve this, a novel decision support framework is developed, integrating a trapezoidal fuzzy-based stratified best-worst method, quality function deployment, and a mixed-integer linear programming model.

Furthermore, the model demonstrates that within budgetary and time constraints, nine out of fifteen mitigation strategies can be simultaneously implemented to mitigate the examined challenges effectively.
