Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Because of economic changes and increasing energy pressure, the manufacturing industry is facing transformative pressure. Many green manufacturing products have been created. Under equal conditions, green products have gained more popularity because of their ecological friendliness and positive contributions to society. However, investment in green manufacturing is enormous. It requires enterprises to upgrade and transform their supply chain, industrial chain, and technology chain. During this process, a considerable number of enterprises have failed to transform, and have even lost, their original advantages.
Currently, China is vigorously promoting carbon neutrality goals, while the industrial transformation guided by new quality productivity is accelerating. At the same time, a service-oriented manufacturing model that integrates manufacturing and services is being vigorously constructed. We hope to see whether companies can better promote sustainable manufacturing under the guidance of these strategies. Can enterprises establish a sustainable ecosystem to create green products that match their competitive advantages instead of losing benefits in pursuing green activities? In this context, this Special Issue, ‘Ecodesign of Products and Sustainable Manufacturing’, has been proposed. We welcome research papers related to green manufacturing, ecosystems, and new quality productivity. This may specifically involve one or more of the following research topics:
- Evolution analysis of green products based on service-oriented manufacturing;
- Analysis of the development of sustainable manufacturing industry under the guidance of new quality productivity;
- Research on sustainable manufacturing innovation based on a niche or an ecosystem;
- Exploration of green innovation networks for manufacturing enterprises;
- Sustainable development strategies for manufacturing enterprises;
- Analysis of the government's strategies, policies, and practices in sustainable manufacturing;
- The construction of sustainable manufacturing systems in developing countries;
- Examples of sustainable manufacturing in developed countries.
