To provide factories with a sustainable model to manufacture inside urban areas, the concept of urban factories has been proposed as a solution that utilizes proximity throughout the value chain. To leverage this proximity, and re-conceptualize the highly available urban waste, circular strategies have been deployed. This has allowed urban factorie...

Laws to mitigate the impacts of the industries and responsible consumption trends have been pushing manufacturers to integrate sustainability in their business models. In this context, circular economy and sustainable manufacturing have become key interests for manufacturers, and thus should be included in higher education curricula for industrial...

Due to their bad image, factories have been pushed outside urban areas, making their supply networks wider with increasingly high environmental impacts. Although factories' implementation inside urban areas might be challenging with various constraints related to legislation, neighborhood, and higher rental costs, it can also be a great leveraging...

Urban factories seem to be a promising approach to satisfy the needs of a population in urban areas and to create a close proximity with local stakeholders (customers, workforce, potential service suppliers, etc.). This paper presents a state of the art on urban factories to explore the various definitions of the concept and to identify the current...

Purpose As sustainability has become an important asset for production systems, it is important to conduct life cycle assessment (LCA) studies. When conducting an LCA of products derived from a multi-product process, the common challenge of impact partitioning arises. This is referred to as the allocation problem. Many allocation methods have been...

In the context of strengthening sustainability of production systems, agri-food products become the target of environmental evaluation using life cycle assessment (LCA°. Most of agri-food production systems include multifunctional processes, a common challenge occurs regarding the way to partition impacts among co-products. This is known as the all...

Dans le contexte du développement durable, l'analyse du cycle de vie (ACV) est l'outil indispensable pour évaluer les impacts des systèmes de production. Lorsque ceux-ci incluent des processus multifonctionnels, la problématique d'allocation des impacts se présente. Plusieurs approches ont été introduites, chacune aboutissant à des résultats différ...
